A pleasing survival with all aspects of a collector’s demands in good order. A HIGHLY IMPORTANT LITERARY FIRST EDITION ARGUABLY THE GREATEST WORK OF FICTION OF THE 2OTH CENTURY RARE IN THE DUSTJACKET. This an extremely impressive copy of the first authorized English edition. IT IS ALSO THE FIRST EDITION of ULYSSES PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN. The superb binding executed in full polished linen buckram has been especially designed for this great book. DESIGNS FOR THE BINDING EXECUTED IN GILT WERE ACCOMPLISHED BY ERIC GILL ONE OF THE MOST GIFTED MASTERS OF THE ART.<br> The typeface is extremely attractive and very readable the printing on fine paper makes the book unusually handsome and presents what is perhaps the most beautiful printing of ULYSSES ever accomplished. <br> Along with the text there are a series of appendices attached including copies of the International Protest against the unauthorized and mutilated printings of ULYSSES done especially in the United States; a copy of the injunction issued to prevent Samuel Roth from continuing his piracies of ULYSSES; a copy of Joyce’s letter to Bennet Cerf concerning the promotion legal fight and publication of ULYSSES on the author’s behalf; a copy of the decision of the US District Court which was rendered on December 6 1933 which lifted the ban on ULYSSES and a copy of the subsequent decision of the US Court of Appeals rendered in August of the following year which upheld the original decision; a copy of the forward to the first American edition and a bibliography of the works of James Joyce.<br> ULYSSES can be viewed as the pinnacle of the Modernist movement and its impact on all subsequent western literature is unmistakable. Such writers as Virginia Woolf John Dos Passos William Faulkner Samuel Beckett Malcolm Lowry and Anthony Burgess have all paid tribute consciously or unconsciously to Joyce's influence. Burgess as well pronounced it the greatest single work in the English literature of this century and he is not alone in that opinion.<br> John Lane, The Bodley Head hardcover
192624099Paris: Shakespeare and Company 1926.

It is the first reprinting of the work to use entirely reset type. The work was accomplished with Joyce’s participation. The copy is bound as is often found on printings of the period in a simple style designed to draw little attention to itself due the controversy of the text within. In all a highly collectable copy.<br> ULYSSES can be viewed as the pinnacle of the Modernist movement and its impact on all subsequent western literature is unmistakable. Such writers as Virginia Woolf John Dos Passos William Faulkner Samuel Beckett Malcolm Lowry and Anthony Burgess have all paid tribute consciously or unconsciously to Joyce's influence. Burgess as well pronounced it the greatest single work in the English literature of the century and he was not alone in that opinion. At the beginning of the present century the Modern Library placed ULYSSES in the number one spot on their 100 best books of the 20th century list. Shakespeare and Company hardcover

A BEAUTIFULLY PRODUCED FACSIMILE OF THE FIRST EDITION OF JAMES JOYCE’S ULYSSES the most important novel of the twentieth century . The true first edition of this book is now beyond the range of all but a very small handful of collectors this facsimile provides the opportunity to own this important and handsome work in a format and with the feel of the first edition.<br> ULYSSES can be viewed as the pinnacle of the Modernist movement and its impact on all subsequent western literature is unmistakable. Such writers as Virginia Woolf John Dos Passos William Faulkner Samuel Beckett Malcolm Lowry and Anthony Burgess have all paid tribute consciously or unconsciously to Joyce's influence. Burgess as well pronounced it the greatest single work in the English literature of the last century and he is not alone in that opinion.<br> According to James Spoerri "This fortunate combination of printer and publisher resulted in the appearance of ULYSSES as a book whose physical aspect is particularly suited to its content. It is a fat and inviting volume the blue and white of its covers subtly evocative of the Greece whose epic it so closely parallels" quoted in the catalogue for the Garden Sale Sotheby's 1989. While this facsimile is of course not the true first edition the physical attributes are the same. [Shakespeare and Company ], Yushodo/Inkpen Press hardcover
