One of about 50 copies quarto size 52 pp. Franz Kafka 1883-1924 is considered by many to be one of the twentieth century's pre-eminent authors fusing elements of realism with the fantastic; he is known for his use of an isolated and detached protagonist who is forced to face a bizarre surreal predicament and his works often explore themes of alienation existential anxiety and guilt n. b. info from Wikipedia. "The Metamorphosis" is his best known work beginning with the famous line "When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin"; the story is tragic in its descriptions of a family's struggle with abrupt isolationism and change.<br/><br/>This publication by The Ascensius Press contains the complete text of Kafka's story beautifully printed letterpress and bound in marbled paper over soft boards giving the grisly tale of Gregor Samsa a gentle and inviting appearance.

198823455Los Angeles CA: Twelvetrees Press 1988. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. Los Angeles CA: Twelvetrees Press 1988. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. Unpaginated. The photographer's breakthrough debut collection. One of the greatest photography books of the 20th century. Limited Edition of 2000 copies. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with the 2014 Steidl New Edition. Published as a hardcover original only. The Limited Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Ken Schles and Jack Woody: Regular-sized volume format. Cloth boards with titles on cover and spine as issued. Photographs by Ken Schles. Text-quotations by Jean Baudrillard Jorge Luis Borges Franz Kafka Lewis Mumford and George Orwell. Printed in rich gravure on thick uncoated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. A masterpiece of sheetfed gravure printing outstanding in every respect. In black pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine as issued. Presents Ken Schles' "Invisible City". Haunting nocturnal images of city streets juxtaposed with the people who inhabit them. They share an eerily disturbing quality which makes them seem meant for each other: A desolate place for a shadowy people. It is well-known that the photographs were taken in New York City and evoke Weegee's great work "Naked City" 1945. But there is no doubt that Schles also intends them to be seen as transcending their actual place and having a universal significance: As the intensely personal vision of an artist. His work seems to have haunted Ken Schles because it took him thirteen years - an eternity in our restless time - to produce his second collection "Geometry of Innocence" 2001. The latter looks outwardly where "Invisible City" was more inward-looking. "Stands alongside Brassai's 'Paris de Nuit' and van der Elsken's 'Love On The Left Bank' as one of the twentieth century's great depictions of nocturnal bohemian experience" Gerhard Steidl. An absolute "must-have" title for Ken Schles collectors. This title is a great photography book. This is one of few copies of the true First Edition/Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with the 2014 Reissued Edition. Copies available online even those that are signed have serious flaws. Obtained directly from the publisher this is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 45 sheetfed gravure plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. SEE ALSO OTHER KEN SCHLES TITLE IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 094264235X. Twelvetrees Press hardcover

20049788477022985-2025Valdemar 2004. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Franz Kafka José Rafael Hernández Arias</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Valdemar</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9788477022985</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2004</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 400</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> Una mañana cualquiera Josef K. joven empleado de un banco se despierta en la pensión donde reside con la extraña visita de unos hombres que le comunican que está detenido -aunque por el momento seguirá libre-. Le informan de que se ha iniciado un proceso contra él y le aseguran que conocerá los cargos a su debido tiempo. Así comienza una de las más memorables y enigmáticas pesadillas jamás escritas. Para el protagonista Josef K. el proceso laberíntico en el que inesperadamente se ve inmerso supone una toma de conciencia de sí mismo un despertar que le obliga a reflexionar sobre su propia existencia sobre la pérdida de la inocencia y la aparición de la muerte. La lectura de El proceso produce cierto «horror vacui» pues nos sumerge en una existencia absurda en el filo de la navaja entre la vida y la nada. Max Brod amigo editor y albacea literario de Kafka tras su muerte conoció la existencia de la obra en 1914 pues Kafka según su costumbre le leyó algunos pasajes. Desde un primer momento quedó fascinado por la fuerza de la historia por lo que insistió como en otras ocasiones en que se publicara contra la habitual reticencia de su autor. Tras la prematura muerte por tuberculosis de Kafka en 1924 y a pesar de que el autor había manifestado en una nota su deseo de que todos sus escritos fuesen destruidos sin ser leídos Max Brod decidió publicar El proceso años después. La presente edición recoge el texto íntegro y la ordenación de Kafka sin los expurgos y arbitrariedades de las primeras ediciones de Max Brod.</p> Valdemar hardcover
