2000PENDRAGON 2000 206 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO. PARI AL NUOVO, PERFETTO E INTONSO. Pittore, filosofo, regista e romanziere, Pierre Klossowski (1905) è scomparso a Parigi nell'estate del 2001. Grande intellettuale del Novecento, su di lui in Italia è stato scritto molto poco, forse perché la sua estrema poliedricità ne ha fatto il più “inclassificabile” dei pensatori contemporanei. In questo volume l’autore mette in evidenza che i suoi ispiratori sono senz’altro Sade e Nietzsche, veri e proprio alter ego klossowskiani, nel loro tentativo di giungere ai limiti estremi del pensiero. Limite a cui Klossowski tende costantemente, proseguendo nella strada da loro tracciata, con la sua riflessione sulle forme (linguaggio, corpo, immagine...) e sulla necessità di scavarle e superarle. Prigione e varco al tempo stesso, le forme ci consentono una doppia possibilità: quella di rimanerne alla superficie, sulla loro soglia, o di andare oltre, immergendoci in esse – come fa Narciso quando vede la sua immagine riflessa sull'acqua – per vederne l’ambiguità, noi stessi. Klossowski quindi si occupa innanzitutto di conoscenza e, attraverso la conoscenza, di metafisica: è quanto afferma Brivio definendolo “uno degli ultimi metafisici occidentali”. Guido Brivio (1971) è studioso di storia delle religioni e filosofia. Oltre a diversi articoli, traduzioni e interventi, ha curato e tradotto l'ultima opera di Pierre Klossowski, L'adolescente immortale (Bollati Boringhieri, 1997). La caduta di Narciso è il suo primo volume, elaborazione dall'omonima tesi di laurea discussa nel 1997 con il prof. Gianni Vattimo.

2001cm. 17 x 24, x-214 pp. con 4 riproduzioni n.t. e 4 ill. f.t. Fondazione Carlo Marchi - Quaderni Viene rivisitata la figura di Girolamo Comi, poeta ed organizzatore di cultura salentino legato alle pi? eminenti figure intellettuali del Novecento, trascorso dall?irrazionalismo cosmico del rapporto con grandi intellettuali del simbolismo francese all?ortodossia cattolica. Si ripercorrono la biografia e i giudizi espressi da autorevoli firme della critica letteraria e si esamina, per la prima volta, l?intera produzione poetica, con un?analisi stilistica e contenutistica raccolta per raccolta. Another view of the figure of Girolamo Comi, poet and organiser of Salento?s culture bound to the most distinguished intellectual personalities of the 20th century, passing from the cosmic irrationalism of the relationship with intellectuals of French symbolism to catholic orthodoxy. The biography and opinions expressed by authoritative literary critics are reviewed and the entire poetic production is examined for the first time analysing the structure and content of each single collection. 497 gr. x-214 p.
ref. 55337Mexico: Tepeyac Editores 1982. Near fine. The complete camera-ready artwork by the noted Mexican sequential and graphic artist for the story "Una Cuestion de Honor" from issue #82 of the microcuento comic HOMBRES EN GUERRA Men in War. "Una Cuestion de Honor" a WWI trench warfare story about an English soldier wrongly accused of desertion is a quintessential example of the microcuento or "historieta" "mini-story" a popular comic form unique to Mexico. Small enough to fit in a pocket usually only three or four inches tall brief enough to read on a commute or lunch break and inexpensive to produce microcuentos enjoyed a wide popularity among both adults and children. At their height in the mid-1970s 55 million copies of these comics were being printed a month in a country with a population of just 68 million Sperandio 3. "Una Cuestion de Honor" would have been one of the two stories issued in HOMBRES EN GUERRA a weekly publication that ran from the late 1970s through at least the mid 1980s. Camarena was one of Mexico's most prolific illustrators and - as evidenced by the recent 2020 monograph on him and his work in the form - is increasingly recognized as one of the masters of the microcuento. For speed and efficiency publishers typically provided artists with panels as here preprinted with text and dialogue for the illustrators to work around; that Camarena was able to work so elegantly and dynamically within these constraints is a testament to his talent. Rare and ephemeral production materials from an important regional incarnation of the comic book. 8.75'' x 5.75''. 30 pages of original black pen-and-ink drawings on cardstock executed rectos only; most two-panel. Minor soil edgewear. Overall sound and clean. [Tepeyac Editores] unknown books

1839ref. 42547Paris: Librairie Encyclopédique de Roret 1839. Folio. 19 x 12 ½ inches. 6 iv 5-106 pp. Illustrated with 24 hand-coloured lithographed plates illustrating the designs and plans of estate parks and gardens in France and England eight double-page or folding five with tipped overlay flaps. Contemporary calf-backed red cloth boards with richly gilt spine A beautifully hand-coloured copy of the 'Nouvelle édition' of Vergnaud's manual of landscape design combining garden theory with measured plans perspective views sections and elevations drawn from celebrated European parks. Vergnaud's L'Art de créer les jardins belongs to a distinct moment in nineteenth-century garden literature when the picturesque landscape garden was increasingly treated through the combined disciplines of architecture horticulture drawing and site analysis. First published by Roret in 1835 the work appeared again in this "Nouvelle édition" in 1839 with the same large format and an extensive suite of lithographed plates. Vergnaud presents the creation of gardens as an architectural art grounded in the study of terrain water planting views and circulation. The text moves from general principles to practical application addressing the selection and study of a site the nature of soils and water the use of plans and levels the organisation of walks and plantations and the pictorial handling of natural and built features. Vergnauds emphasis falls on composition in the full sense: the garden as a designed landscape whose effects depend on time growth perspective and the intelligent adjustment of architecture to nature. The plates include plans views and details drawn from major English landscapes such as Blenheim Chatsworth Stowe Windsor Richmond Longleat and Wilton together with French examples including Morfontaine Saint-Leu Beauregard Marly-le-Roi and Bougival. The suite also includes views from Ermenonville and the gardens of the Pitti Palace greenhouse details in France and England plans for public promenades and gardens and the plan of the farm at Aubetin. Several plates use folding or overlay elements to clarify changes of level layout or design sequence making the volume especially valuable as a practical visual manual. Narcisse Vergnaud was born in Orléans and trained in architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Antoine-Laurent-Thomas Vaudoyer. Active in Paris as an architect and designer of gardens Vergnaud is now often obscured in catalogues under the name Nicolas Vergnaud though contemporary and modern authority records identify him as Narcisse. His treatise places him within the French reception of English landscape gardening while retaining a strongly architectural understanding of design one in which plan elevation perspective horticulture and execution form part of a single discipline.

A few small nicks and minor wear to wraps. Internally quite clean. An ambitious design for a "Gran Escuela Central" for all in Bolivia including native South Americans. The author was Narciso Campero Leyes who enjoyed a long successful career in the military and politics capped by his tenure as President of Bolivia in the early 1880s. This work published in 1857 was written just prior to his political career beginning in earnest. Its title "Proyecto de Revolucion" reflects the ambition of the plan which calls for multiple schools and departments for the intellectual physical moral and religious education of all Bolivians and is extensive enough to outline new railroads to transport future students.
