Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First Dutton Paperback edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. Sold along w/used VG 1970 paperback of Richard Burgin's CONVERSATIONS w/JLB. "As Jorge Luis Borges conceived of it, A UNIVERSAL HISTORY OF INFAMY was to be no more than light entertainment. Yet after the book appeared in 1935 its influence on the fiction of Latin America was so profound that its publication date has become a landmark in the history of Latin American literature. Ostensibly a series of factual accounts about the lives of noted scoundrels, the book in actuality marked the debut of Borges as a storyteller, using that unique blend of fact, fiction, and pseudo-scholarship that later came to full expression in Borges's world-famed short stories. Valuable and important for what it tells us about Borges's mind and method, A UNIVERSAL HISTORY OF INFAMY manages, at the same time, to fulfill delightfully Borges's original intention. It is, indeed, a first-rate entertainment." [publisher copy] "The book that literally transformed the Spanish prose of the thirties and whose long echoes can still be heard in One Hundred Years of Solitude."--The New York Times Book Review. + CONVERSATIONS: First Discus Edition, September 1970. Gently read in VG condition (w/bookseller's name written on first page). "An extraordinary portrait of a witty, learned, even humble master---an ideal introduction to the man's work---a joy in and of itself."--John Leonard. "A delightful compendium of Borges' views, and a fascinating, engaging portrait of the man."--Harper's. "An engrossing and inspiring book."--Los Angeles Times. "A joy-to-read book!"--Publishers Weekly. Very Good paperback w/age toning on pages, o/w clean & tight binding w/no creases in spine; not bad for a 53-year-old mass market paperback.

The visit occasioned this book and his conversations with Richard Burgin, at the time a mere undergraduate, show us the man and his genius in perfect accord --- [the conversations] provide us with a fascinating insight into what lies behind his literary intelligence.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the first UK edition in its original dustwrapper, in near fine collectable condition. The UK first edition is far less common than the American, and copies of this work are hard to find in such nice collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
