19562309Paris: The Olympia Press 1956. First Edition First Printing. Near fine. Small 8vo 6 /4 x 4 inches 170 x 105 mm 171 pp; 29 glossy photographs by Brassaï most double-sided and two double-spread. Later yellow cloth binding with red label on spine gilt title. Binding square pages clean and minimally toned. A rare first state of the first edition with the photographs printed with a glossy finish rather than the more common matte finish without its original paper wrappers in yellow grey and black designed by T. Tajiri. <br /> In this somewhat infamous little book Henry Miller captures a vivid slice of early 20th Century Parisian bohemian life. It is a semi-autobiographical work written in 1940 but first published in this 1956 Edition by Olympia Press it didn't appear in the United States until 1965 after legal battles over the author's earlier work The book is based on Miller's years as a struggling writer in Paris in the early 1930's living in a tiny apartment in Clichy and pursuing both art and pleasure. Although the title suggests quiet the book is full of vivid scenes of everyday life lust hunger friendship and the bohemian subculture of interwar Paris. Typical of Miller the prose is raw candid and somewhat racy. Episodes range from humorous to erotic including encounters with a variety of women and reflections on desire art and freedom. The narrator's voice is personal observant and often unapologetically frank.<br /> The photographs that accompany this little volume are by one of Paris's most celebrated photographers knows as "the eye of Paris": Hungarian-born BRASSAï Gyula Halász. Originally taken for Brassaï's famous 1933 photo-book Paris de Nuit our inventory no. they share its signature qualities: quiet cafés and late night interiors deep shadows and misty streetlights wet cobblestones reflecting light:•• in essence they depict the gritty elegance of the Paris underworld. The images echo the wandering drifting rhythm of Miller's narrator - moving through Paris at night in search of food love or distraction and they turn the book into something like a literary time capsule of 1930s Paris - shadowy sensual slightly melancholic and alive after midnight. The book has been reprinted in various editions but this first impression is especially prized by collectors. The Olympia Press unknown

2582Autograph Letter Signed to Bob Finkelstein referred to as Bob Fink on verso of Autograph Letter Signed from Miller's fourth wife Eve McClure to Edie and Bob Finkelstein March 7 1953 Vienne France each one page 4to. Bob Robert Finkelstein later called Fink was a fan correspondent and benefactor of Miller's. He and he wife Edie Edith became friends with Miller and his wife Eve in the 1940s. In 1949 Bob and Edie moved to Los Angeles and spent many weekends in Big Sur with Henry Miller and his wife. Henry Miller's letter is a friendly letter with references to his work including various international editions as well as references to his finances and politics. The letter begins "Good news on Income tax - save my old reports please! I paid social security last time too - for the first time. Leave in a week for Paris. Then to Brussels - after I see the Judge about "Sexus." Originally published in Paris in 1949 "Sexus" was banned the following year. The publisher was fined and given a prison sentence. Brentano has a number of copies. Plexus will go thru sic now in English. And Correa wants Hamlet for French version. The Germans are selling Cancer - de luxe - going good. Capricorn out this summer in German. and "World of Sex." And "Smile" in French. Getting dizzy." Miller talks about how much he likes where he is staying but says "Keep your ears cocked and cable us if you get news of war. Expect it to come before summer. Stalin's death doesn't help any. Hope to run down to Perigueux to see the man who interprets Nostradamus. To me the catastrophe seems terribly imminent." Signed "Henry." Neither this letter nor the letter on the back from Eve appear to be published. On the verso is Eve's letter to Edie and Bob which is also a friendly letter with political and economic references. She refers to Gerhart Muench composer and pianist. In part "Most interesting your reports on "concert Meunch". and your ideas. on the ‘success' motif. It seems in line with all i've sic learned about him. I wonder how he'd find this Europe of today. the economy is all haywire. H. Henry Miller is still convinced all hell's going to break loose - and soon. Stalin's death may only hasten the things." She talks of Vienne being a "marvel" seeing Roman relics and an upcoming visit to a monastery where only men will be able to go inside. "I'll ‘see' it anyhow! Taste the product with m'eyes!" Signed "Eve." In a letter that Henry Miller wrote to Bruno Adriani on July 31 1949 Muench is also discussed. Miller reports that Muench lives in Altadema and invites Miller regularly to visit. unknown books

1921132851Paris: Marcel Seheur 1921 =1922-24-25. The fabliaux's joy is good and wholesome and we need to learn to laugh again First edition thus first printing of this modern take on scabrous medieval stories numbered 95 203 and 150 respectively of 250 copies on papier d'Arches à la forme with a suite of woodcuts on china paper. A fabliau is a French comic tale often anonymous written by minstrels and jongleurs during the first half of the 12th century. It is generally characterized by sexual and scatological obscenity and by a set of attitudes contrary to the Church and to the nobility. Although much later than his usual source texts for translation Meunier considered these medieval fabliaux as an important component of the "joie médiévale". An accomplished Hellenist who usually strove to bring Greek classics to the public Meunier's intention in this case as explained in his preface was to render these texts more accessible by "uniting the lively and old-fashioned grace of the content to a certain rejuvenation of the form" for at the time the reader could only access them in their original difficult form or through commentaries. Published shortly after the First World War the endeavour was also to bring some joie de vivre back as Meunier writes: "the fabliaux's joy is good and wholesome and we need to learn to laugh again". Indeed the three men responsible for this publication were brought together during the First World War as they were all prisoners at the camp of Merseburg in Saxony. Their time at the camp was recounted in 1920 with the publication of Images de la vie des prisonniers de guerre written by Meunier published by Seheur of whom little is now known and illustrated by Boucher. Their successful literary collaboration was repeated for several other works. A rare copy of the complete set: Library Hub only locates two complete sets both in the US and three odd volumes between the Netherlands and Canada. 3 vols. quarto. 20 full-page colour wood engravings including a title page for each vol. and one for each tale 71 other wood engraved in-text illustrations including headers and cul-de-lampes all repeated uncoloured in the suites on china at the end of each vol. many colour wood engraved decorative initials; all designed by Lucien Boucher a French illustrator who had studied ceramic painting provided caricatures for Le rire and Fantasio and is best known for the advertising posters and planispheres he created for Air France in the 1950s.

1938178423Paris: The Obelisk Press 1938. Inscribed to a rakish poet and fellow mystic First edition third printing presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Audrey from Henry Miller who is now on the other side of the Equator preparing to write 'Draco and the Ecliptic'" his unrealised self-reflective mystical project. Tropic of Cancer was first published in 1934; early printings are rarely found inscribed. A "poet and eccentric" ODNB Audrey Beecham descended from Thomas Beecham the founder of the eponymous pharmaceuticals empire. She once took an extended holiday from her Oxford studies to run guns for the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War. When she left Oxford with a second-class degree in 1937 she moved to Paris where she befriended Miller Anaïs Nin who contributes the preface to Tropic and Lawrence Durrell. Miller the editor of Delta published a handful of Beecham's poems in the magazine. She was fascinated with witchcraft and folklore and "believed herself capable of casting spells and affecting friends and enemies by them" ODNB: she and Miller presumably bonded over their shared mysticism. In the 1940s Beecham spent much of her time in London where she garnered a serious poetic reputation and befriended Joe Ackerley and Dylan Thomas: "she prided herself on her mastery of martial arts and on her claim to have knocked out Dylan Thomas cold when he made unwelcome advances to her" ODNB To the surprise of her contemporaries she applied for and was appointed the warden of Nightingale Hall the women's residence at the University of Nottingham in 1950. Lord David Cecil remarked on her unexpected appointment that "There's no martinet like a reformed rake" ODNB. Miller wrote to many friends regarding "Draco and the Ecliptic". To Hermann Keyserling he defined the work as a "joyous book of the mystic"; to Emil Schnellock he foresaw it as "the heaven beyond heaven" Cosmotc; to Lawrence Durrell he admitted: "haven't the least idea what it will be like - just know it must be done" cited in Wickes.
