1883réf. 6729Gibraltar: Unpublished 1883. Hardcover. Good. From the governor's residence in Gibraltar a manuscript record of British colonial officials staff naval and army officers in the Crown Colony which was used by the Governor's household as a social register for entertaining Gibraltar's elite and prestigious visitors including the second in line to the British throne Prince Albert Victor. An additional pleasure of the manuscript is that it includes a page-long listing of the officers of the 'Royal Dublin Fusiliers' who were stationed in the colony in 1884-5 with whom served the fictional Major Brian Tweedy father of James Joyce's Molly Bloom who remembers her time with her father in Gibraltar in 1885 the moment covered by this manuscript in the famous soliloquy which ends Ulysses: 'Yes I said yes I will Yes.' The manuscript is written in Army Book 129 issued '7 Dec 1883 Army Forces Stores' bound in worn half reversed calf over blue paper covered boards 31 × 19cm. The inner hinges are cracked although the binding is sound if delicate. An Index precedes a 'Precedence List made out for H.s Excellency's Levée of 6.1.83' - an event that would have been presided over by Governor Sir John Adye the ultimate presumed owner of this volume. This is followed by the Colonial Office's 'Precedency List' starting with The Governor 'Staff' in a mixture of red and black ink with a series of symbols possibly relating to their dinner invitation status alongside positions occupied and often their addresses in Gibraltar annotated regarding redeployment and transfers. There are 62 pages of comprehensive entries with particular interest attending mention of the legendary father and son American consuls with their addresses p.13 'Horatio Jones Sprague Esq; John Louis Sprague Esq Mrs and the Misses Prince Edwards Road'. The manuscript makes a second start at page 20 when Sir Arthur Hardinge took over from Adye as Governor whose departure is annotated in red ink 'Retired 2 Nov. 86. Sir G Hardynge'. The social element of the manuscript is signalled in two labels to the covers on the upper cover 'People to ask' and on the lower cover the tantalising phrase 'People Dinners and Dates'. This relates to the second section of the manuscript at the back of the book which details dates and invitees to a series of 'Dinners' beginning in December 1884 and concluding in December 1887 by which time Governor Hardynge had taken over. These are written in a very tricky hand many of the names annotated with a miniscule '2' presumably a couple or a cross - meaning unknown. The most prestigious event in the four years covered by this record 1883-1887 involved the visit to Gibraltar of the eldest son of the future Edward VII Prince Albert Victor who died before his father became king. On 30th March 1887 early in Governor Hardynge's tenure he hosted dinner for: 'Prince Albert Victor Major Miles. Capt. Hon A Grenville Equerry Sir H and Lady Temple Colonel and Mrs Montmorency.' On May 21st the Governor seems to have entertained the young Prince once again along with a large party at a 'Picnic Waterfalls.' A line is drawn across the dinner dates two days before the retirement of Sir John Adye as Governor with an intimate gathering held the night before he left Gibraltar comprising just '3 Adye girls Col Layard Major Dulton Cap.t Church Ward and Hickson.'

1939réf. 70002London: Faber and Faber 1939. First Edition. 8vo publisher’s original red cloth decorated on the spine with gilt lettering and ruling with excellent and skillful facsimile of the original dustjacket. 628 pp. A handsome copy of the book with interesting notes to the verso of one leaf very little evidence of age or use the last leaf a bit loose at the hinge. RARE AND IMPORTANT FIRST EDITION OF THIS CLASSIC WORK OF TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERATURE. “You were bred fed fostered and fattened from holy childhood up in this two easter island.and now forsooth a nogger among the blankards of this dastard century you have become of twosome twiminds forenenst gods hidden and discovered nay condemned fool anarch agoarch hiresiarch you have reared your disunited kingdom on the vacuum of your own most intensely doubtful soul.” Finnegans Wake No book has ever been more ambitiously conceived than Joyce’s FINNEGAN'S WAKE. If ULYSSES represents the pinnacle of the Modernist movement FINNEGAN'S WAKE is a step beyond; it stands in the same relation to ULYSSES as ULYSSES does to A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST.—an extension which is also a completely new conception. Joyce envisioned the book as nothing less than a "history of the world." Seventeen years in the writing and composed in a sort of meta-language--"an Esperanto for the art of fiction"--it stands as a unique monument to language and literature and the modern age. Slocum and Calhoun A49; Bradbury The Modern World 157-176. About this work he stated “‘I might easily have written this story in the traditional manner. Every novelist knows the recipe.But I after all am trying to tell the story of this Chapelizod family in a new way. Time and the river and the mountain are the real heroes of my book. I am trying to build many planes of narrative with a single aesthetic purpose.’” Ellmann This copy offers the the look of the original book but at a much better price since the original dustjacket is not present.

Very good or better with some wear to spine corners lightly worn and front wrapper with repair to edges and light toning and staining. Overall a pleasing copy of this important translation of Joyce's tour de force. Slocum & Cahoon D17. This first French edition of Ulysses was the second translated edition of the book the first German edition was published in 1927 and one of only four translated editions published in Joyce's lifetime the other two being Czech 1930 and Japanese 1931. Interestingly key sections of the book were translated into French before the book was published in English for a "Special Session on James Joyce" hosted by Valery Larbaud and Adrienne Monnier Sylvia Beach's romantic and literary partner at Monnier's bookshop La Maison des Amis des Livres on December 7 1921 Ulysses was first published in English in 1922. Jacques-Benoist Méchin translated the final word of the book with a capitalized "Oui" which Joyce subsequently adopted for the English language version ".yes I said yes I will Yes" after a lengthy discussion with Méchin an artistic choice that contributed heavily to the enduring critical interest in that line. Assessing the impact of Ulysses T. S. Eliot said of Joyce "He single-handedly killed the 19th century." Ulysses is a stream-of-consciousness novel that follows Leopold Bloom through Dublin on an ordinary day June 16 1904-notably the same day that Joyce first went on a date with Nora Barnacle who would later become his wife. The book is heavily fragmented and allusive with a structure that loosely parallels Homer's The Odyssey. Regarding the book's complexity Joyce said "I've put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant and that's the only way of ensuring one's immortality.".

1927réf. 52187Basel: Rhein-Verlags 1927. Hardcover. Translation by Georg Goyert. Complete 3-volume set. 8vo. Quarter calf with raised bands and gilt spine lettering and marbled paper over boards. 458pp 465pp 662pp. Top edges gilt; sewn-in brown cloth page markers. Near fine. Tight and bright with just faint sunning to the spines. Handsome set of the first foreign language edition of Joyce's magnum to appear: the first German-language edition. Goyert 1888-1966 won the contest held by Joyce's German publisher and even met with Joyce several times about the translation but Joyce was critical of the finished product as were many others. The Hans Wollschläger translation of the 1970s has become the favored German text more nuanced and accurate. But Goyert pioneered the challenging task as the first. "Privatdruck" Private Printing appears on each title page apparently to forestall censorship attempts and the limitation statement Volume I notes the limitation to 1000 numbered copies this #839 on laid paper. Half of the print run was issued in this half-leather form the other half in green wrappers. A superb example. Rhein-Verlags hardcover
