1895Best.-Nr. 003879London: Lawrence and Bullen 1895. 2 Vols - 294pp/illus and 352pp/illus. #313 of 1000. "The novellino is a collection of fifty stories each one told by the writer separately without any striving after continuity. Masuccio does not trouble himself like certain others of the Novellieri to construct a setting for his work and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the work and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the various members of a gentle company brought together by hazard. He tells us that all his novels are true and that in many cases he is only setting down what he has learnt by the evidence of his senses." . First Edition. Vellum.

2024Best.-Nr. 70885New York: Picador 2024. First edition. Paperback. New. 354pp. Duodecimo 21cm. Pictoral wraps. "The story of the early trans athletes and Olympic bureaucrats who lit the flame for today's culture wars. In December 1935 Zden k Koubek one of the most famous sprinters in European women's sports declared he was now living as a man. Around the same time the celebrated British field athlete Mark Weston also assigned female at birth announced that he too was a man. Periodicals and radio programs across the world carried the news; both became global celebrities. A few decades later they were all but forgotten. And in the wake of their transitions what could have been a push toward equality became instead through a confluence of bureaucracy war and sheer happenstance the exact opposite: the now all-too-familiar panic around trans intersex and gender nonconforming athletes. In The Other Olympians Michael Waters uncovers for the first time the gripping true stories of Koubek Weston and other pioneering trans and intersex athletes from their era. With dogged research and cinematic flair Waters also tracks how International Olympic Committee members ignored Nazi Germany's atrocities in order to pull off the Berlin Games a partnership that ultimately influenced the IOC's nearly century-long obsession with surveilling and cataloging gender."
