New English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 200 p. The blue and the black. The Blue and the Black includes 33 essays by Sabahattin Eyübo¿lu. As Hughette Bouffard Eyübo¿lu puts it in Notes on the Translation, ¿While reading these essays, you will follow the course pursued by Sabahattin Eyüboglu as an intellectual, a writer and an educator who believed in sharing his experiences. He was convinced that artists were the true spokesmen for humans. This is the reason why he named his book The Blue and the Black. To him, Blue represents art and Black stands for money. Every color has its own flavor and depth, but for him blue was different. Darkness is conquered by blue, not by the sun! Even when the sun has withdrawn and has disappeared, blue and darkness struggle for life until morning. Blue is also the color of the loveliest nights. The only color capable of countering the effects of the black of shame, the black of death and of gloom, a black piercing you to the bone marrow, is blue. Art in itself is blue.¿.

Essays, each ending in a poem, in the form of discussions between an anonymous author and residents of an English Boarding house. Not dated [1904] 390 pages.

Decorative binding with silver and gold floral design. No date - circa 1900. Reprinted from the original edition. Corner of cover frayed. Gilt top edge; purple ribbon bookmark. "The essays take the form of a chiefly one-sided dialogue between the unnamed Author and the other residents of a New England boarding house who are known only by their profession, location at the table or other defining characteristics. The topics discussed range from an essay on the unexpected benefits of old age to the finest place to site a dwelling and comments on the nature of conversation itself. The tone of the book is distinctly Yankee and takes a seriocomic approach to the subject matter.' [Wikipedia] As befits Holmes' reputation as one of America's finest poets, each essay typically ends with a poem on the theme of the essay. There are also poems ostensibly written by the fictional disputants scattered throughout.
