Joyce's landmark first novel. Huebsch printed 1250 sets of sheets for the first edition selling 500 sets to England for the Egoist Press edition which was published later thus the true first edition in this case the American edition preceded the English was 750 copies. We are unaware of the number of copies in the second printing but it was likely to have been quite small perhaps as few as 500 copies. Although the first edition is rare in jacket we've at least seen a few jacketed copies. This is the first copy we've seen of the second printing in the appropriate jacket. B.W.

1916réf. 3926New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. First edition. Very Good . A Very Good copy with minor shelfwear to extremities. Spine toned. Rear inner hinge tender but holding. Previous owner's bookplate to the front free endpaper. Joyce's first novel recounts the coming of age story of Stephen Dedalus the artistic alter-ego of Joyce himself. Stephen grows up ensconced in rigid institutions: the church school system family and national politics. Feeling trapped Stephen experiences a series of awakenings as he grows older and as a result of these awakenings Stephen rejects these traditional bulwarks of Irish culture. Instead he develops an aestheticism that will support his artistic vision. This rejection of existing communities and institutions alongside his embrace of a new aestheticism alienates Stephen from what he knows. Facing this alienation Stephen decides to leave Ireland and pursue his art abroad. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is an important contribution to literary modernism. One aspect of this innovativeness is Joyce's use of age-appropriate syntax and vocabulary. The beginning of the novel which starts in Stephen's infancy is mostly monosyllabic nonsense. As Stephen grows older and grasps more about the world and his place in it the novel's vocabulary and syntax become correspondingly complex. Of Joyce's first novel H.G. Wells writes that "It is a mosaic of jagged fragments that does altogether render with extreme completeness the growth of a rather secretive imaginative boy in Dublin. The technique is startling but on the whole it succeeds." Very Good . B. W. Huebsch unknown books

Lionel Wafer 1640-1705 was a Welsh explorer buccaneer and privateer. A ship's surgeon Wafer made several voyages to the South Seas and visited Maritime Southeast Asia in 1676. The following year he settled in Jamaica to practise his profession. In 1679 two noted buccaneers named Capt John Cook and Linen convinced him to become a surgeon for their fleet. In 1680 Wafer met William Dampier at Cartagena and joined in a privateering venture under the leadership of Capt Bartholomew Sharp. After a quarrel during the overland journey Wafer was marooned with four others in the Isthmus of Darien in Panama where he stayed with the Cuna Indians. He gathered information about their culture including their shamanism and a short vocabulary of their language. He studied the natural history of the isthmus. The following year Wafer left the Indians promising to return and marry the chief's sister and bring back dogs from England. He fooled the buccaneers at first as he was dressed as an indian wearing body-paint and ornamented with a nose-ring. It took them some time to recognise him.citation needed Wafer reunited with Dampier and after privateering with him on the Spanish Main until 1688 he settled in Philadelphia. By 1690 Wafer was back in England and in 1695 he published "A New Voyage and Description of the Isthmus of America" which described his adventures. It was translated into French 1706 German 1759 and Swedish 1789.
