pp. v, 199. Top edge decorated green. 8vo. Original full cloth binding, decorated and lettered in brown. Spine faded. Hardbound. First Edition. James Stephens (1882-1950) was left fatherless in the Dublin slums at the age of two. His mother remarried or took up with another man when James was about six years of age. She abandoned her young son and he was forced to go to the Meath Protestant Industrial School for Boys. The Meath School was cruel and harsh and he ran away to live in the streets or live with families that took to the likely boy. In 1905 'The Greatest Miracle' was published by Arthur Griffith in The United Irishman. Griffith became good friends with Stephens and published his works in his magazine know as the Sinn Fein. From 1905-1910, Stephens attended Gaelic League classes and become involved with political meetings. During this time he published several pieces which focused on Irish national pride, the importance of learning one's Irish language and customs, and remembering the ancient saga heroes. Stephens met many of his great contemporaries during this period including George Russell (AE), George Moore, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, etc. In the year 1912, Stephens published The Charwoman's Daughter and later in the same year his noted work The Crock of Gold. The Crock of Gold was a great success and Stephens moved to Paris so he could concentrate on writing full time. Cynthia Kavanagh who had been his lover since 1907 accompanied him. He later married her in 1919. The Demi-Gods was published in 1914 and in 1915 he moved back to Dublin to become the Registrar of the National Gallery of Ireland (and stayed in that position till 1924). Stephens witnessed the shooting of a man as a result of the Easter Uprising in Dublin in 1916. This became a turning point for him as the event intensified his patriotic feelings and renewed his interest in old Irish literature. Stephens moved to London in the year 1925. He began a series of lecture tours which extended to the United States. In 1935 Stephens began a literary and personal friendship with James Joyce. His colleagues considered Stephens to be a genius who easily embraced fantasy, philosophy, and comedy - those who read him today will still be struck by his genius. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! STEPHENS/W77

In-4 (cm. 28.50), brossura illustrata, con alette, pp. 222, (2), con numerosissime illustrazioni a colori nel testo. In buono stato (good copy). Un libro sull'opera artistica di Luigi Serafini, artista dal talento eclettico, bizzarro, difficilmente inquadrabile e il cui lavoro si sviluppa all'insegna dello spiazzamento e della sorpresa. Pittore, scultore, architetto, designer, scrittore, ironico viaggiatore nei territori dell'inconscio culturale e dell'immaginario sociale, è stato descritto da Vittorio Sgarbi come "impareggiabile miniatore e instancabile artigiano, che all'arte chiede di essere un parco dei divertimenti, uno sterminato luna park, un paradiso per bambini". Il catalogo "LUNA-PAC Serafini" è un libro importante che ripercorre, in maniera trasversale e tutt'altro che didascalica, le tappe principali del lavoro di Serafini, caratterizzato da i suoi continui salti linguistici e concettuali.
br. Questo libro sostiene una tesi sorprendente e, pagina dopo pagina, la rende accettabile: le fiabe, in particolare quelle dei Grimm, sono ispirate al ciclo mensile della luna, ne narrano la vicenda, ne adottano il lessico. L'astro che illumina le notti, la luna crescente o calante, e soprattutto la luna cinerea dei noviluni, traspare attraverso i personaggi fiabeschi e dà senso alle loro curiose storie. Presenza costante nelle favole di tutti i popoli, la luna appare, sotto infiniti volti, nella mitologia greca; come annuncio di Resurrezione, porta la novella cristiana («Ergo annuntiavit luna mysterium Christi», diceva sant'Ambrogio); e infine, le stesse "fiabe scientifiche" adottano il puntuale e circolare stile lunare. Sermonti rievoca "storie della luna" esquimesi, boscimani, ottentotte, russe e inglesi; analizza i miti lunari evocati nelle storie di Medea, Prometeo, Edipo, Romolo, Eva, Maria, i re Magi, tra le altre; svela i significati nascosti nelle "fiabe del novilunio", come Biancaneve, Cappuccetto Rosso, Pelle d'Asino, Cenerentola, Hänsel e Gretel. «La luna è una viva parte di noi, conclude Sermonti, situata nella lontananza [...]. È una maniera del nostro pensiero, una forma della logica».
brossura La XVIII lama dei tarocchi, la luna, è il secondo arcano maggiore della "serie degli astri" dopo "le stelle" e prima de "il sole". Il numero diciotto ha varie implicazioni iniziatiche, in primis il riferimento al cavaliere della rosa+croce, quale grado del rito scozzese antico e accettato della massoneria. La luna è simbolo di ricettività e di variabilità; l'elemento associato a essa è l'acqua.
