200423154New York City NY: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2004. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. New York City NY: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2004. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 198 pages. The author's fourth collection of literary essays. One of the greatest literary books of our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Adam Zagajewski's "Obrona zarliwosci" in the definitive English translation by Clare Cavanagh. The masterly achievement of a poet-genius who writes rare poet's prose. These fourteen essays constitute Zagajewski's "defense": An engaging and witty blend of literary commentary and memoir it is passionate about beleaguered aesthetic values yet refreshingly free of rancor. "Thoughtful; precise; rhapsodic; rueful; courteous; prone to wonder. Nothing could take the reader in a direction more contrary to today's cult of the excitements of self than to follow Zagajewski as he unspools his seductive praise of serenity sympathy forbearance of the calm and courage of an ordinary life. Indispensable prose" Susan Sontag . The only American writer of our time who has written a comparable polemic on behalf of literature-as-the ideal life is Cynthia Ozick and it cannot be an accident that one of her classic books is "Art & Ardor" 1983 . An absolute "must-have" title for Adam Zagajewski collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed dated in the year of publication and inscribed in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "To Heather Adam Zagajewski inscription in Polish September 2004". It is also very prominently and beautifully signed dated and inscribed in blue ink-pen by the translator: "9-30-04 To Heather with very best wishes Clare Cavanagh". They signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great book. As far as we know this is the only such double-signed publication-year dated and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing American available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest poet/writers of our time. A fine copy. SEE ALSO OTHER ADAM ZAGAJEWKI AND WISLAWA SZYMBORSKA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 0374136300. Farrar, Straus & Giroux hardcover

1947288977Washington: GPO 1947. Pamphlet. 4p. 8.5x11 inches neatly folded otherwise very good in original addressed envelope. Congressional Record 80th congress first session. Speech by the African American legislator early in his Congressional career excoriating the Taft-Hartley Act. "Mr. Chairman this bill has been called a bill of rights for labor. That is correct but only partially true. This is a bill of rights and lefts under the belt for labor not only under the belt but in the back in good old foreign fascist style. This bill without changing one word could just as easily have been introduced in the Reichstag in the days of Nazism at its worst. I do not mean by that Mr. Chairman that you are Adolf Hitler. There is absolutely no difference between this and the labor union policy of Hitlerism in Germany word for word. The tragic thing about it is that We the Representatives of the people meaning the gentlemen on both sides of the aisle did not write this bill. Not only did we not write it but we did not even see it and right now not one-half of the Members both Republican and Democrat of this Congress have read the bill. This bill Was written on the fifth floor of the Old House Office Building written by over a score of corporation lawyers paid not by the Government of the United States not by even small business but paid by big business monopoly business.
