20170298São Paulo, self-edited, 2017. One octavo softcover book of 228 x 154 mm, 118 pp. Many black and white pictures throughout the book. Translated from Chinese to English by David Curtis Wright with the author's help. SIGNED by the author on the half-title page. A heart-wrenching and powerful story about a Chinese man who overcame many hurdles to escape an authoritarian government to ultimately land in Brazil, where he and his family fared well in peace. "Born in 1933, Li Mu, pseudonym of Dr. Yeung Chi Bor, is a Chinese-Brazilian doctor and acupuncturist. He grew up in the Chinese province of Guangdong under the Chinese Communist Regime. Targeted by the authorities as 'landlords', Yeung and his family were persecuted, defamed, tortured, and had their possessions confiscated. His father was executed and he was sent to labor camps. Throughout his struggle for survival, Yeung bore witness to one of the worst atrocities in history. He ultimately escaped as a refugee into Hong Kong in 1962 and, in 1977, made a great leap into the unknown, immigrating to Brazil at the age of 44. Dr. Yeung has three daughters and one son, and lives with his wife in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais."

The table of contents, at the beginning of the book, was also annotated by Hughes with the same pen p. 11. A major figure in the African-American cultural movement known as the Harlem Renaissance, the poet and novelist Langston Hughes (1901-1967) wrote works depicting the lives of black proletarians shared between joys, disillusions, hope, etc. all tinged with jazz and blues. "Through his work, he sought to show the importance of a "black consciousness" and a cultural nationalism that unites men rather than sets them against each other. This pride was subsequently taken up by many men of letters such as Jacques Roumain, Nicolás Guillén, Léopold Sédar Senghor and Aimé Césaire."

Figure majeure du mouvement culturel afro-américain dit de la Renaissance de Harlem, le poète et romancier Langston Hughes (1901-1967) écrivit des œuvres dépeignant la vie des prolétaires noirs partagée entre joies, désillusions, espoir, etc. le tout teinté de jazz et de blues. "Par son travail, il a cherché à montrer l'importance d'une « conscience noire » et d'un nationalisme culturel qui unit les hommes plutôt que les oppose. Cette fierté a par la suite été reprise par de nombreux hommes de lettres comme Jacques Roumain, Nicolás Guillén, Léopold Sédar Senghor ou encore Aimé Césaire." (Wikipédia)

0217Two 4" x 6" (105 x 148 mm) postcards. The first postcard shows a dam, drawn Art Deco style with clearcut geometric ocher and purple shapes with the illustrator's characteristic style upon a burgundy background. This postcard is SIGNED by Nick Gaetano with the mention "Thomas" on pencil. Back of the postcard features the pencil-written mention "Nick Gaetano, airbrush." The second postcard is white. Instead of an illustration, it features a handwritten note with pen: "07.23.[20]01 Thomas — sorry that it took so long — 7 years — [unreadable]" boldly SIGNED. Back of the postcard features the pencil-written mention "Nick Gaetano" and a pencil tracing of a dollar bill. The second postcard show a very light crease on the left half. Aside from that, both are in neat condition. Dubbed "the accidental Objectivist" in 2011, Nicholas Gaetano (1944-) is mostly known for designing covers for 10 Ayn Rand books. His 25th Anniversary Edition cover art for Atlas Shrugged made him seen in the whole United States. However, he "is also an award-winning artist, illustrator, and photographer whose work is in the collections of the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian. He’s created covers for F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, Dominick Dunne, H. P. Lovecraft, Agatha Christie, among many others. As an illustrator, he is best known for his distinctive Art Deco style, but Gaetano’s paintings tend toward the abstract. Cy Twombly is a recognizable influence. A recent series features fluid spills of black paint on plastic sheets. Gaetano has exhibited widely, most recently at Roberts & Tilton and the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art." (Interview Magazine, "The Accidental Objectivist", 2011) He now sells Ayn Rand-related or -inspired art at the Cordair art gallery. Gaetano's hand signatures are scarce and quite hard to find. This one stems from a personal friendship and from the pre-9/11 period. Whether framed and hung on a wall, placed on a support or simply put on a buffet top, this will be a fine piece for any Ayn Rand or Art Deco collector.

19830119Los Angeles, Jeremy P. Tarcher / Houghton Miffin, 1983. First edition, second printing. Boldly signed by Nathaniel Branden on the first free endpaper (not a tip-in). In-4, 23 x 27 cm, 271 pp. Original dust jacket with flaps. Table of contents at the beginning. A small defect at the top of the DJ and at the bottom of the spine, otherwise VG. Pages are crisp and clear. Nathaniel Branden's Honoring the Self is a cornerstone of self-esteem psychology. The author was a long friend of Ayn Rand before launching his own, close yet unmistakably his, brand of worldview and knowledge of the human mind. "Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem," says pioneering psychologist Nathaniel Branden, "and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence--and how high he or she is likely to rise. The reputation you have with yourself--your self-esteem--is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life." (Inside flap)
