brossura. Condition: come nuovo. seconda edizione. Dopo avere abbandonato le scene teatrali ed essere rimasta vedova, la ricchissima signora Stone trascorre il suo tempo a Roma, cercando di evitare le vecchie amicizie americane e intrattenendo rapporti con il crudele mondo dei gigolo. Sente che la sua vita sta andando alla deriva, ma non può, o forse non vuole, opporsi. Una donna un tempo bellissima, ora bella ma con i primi segni dell'età, "e con una certa grandeur che aveva sostituito la precedente bellezza": cosi ci viene presentata la signora Stone, protagonista del primo e unico romanzo di Tennessee Williams, pubblicato più di cinquant'anni fa. In uno stile ricco di pathos, si staglia uno splendido ritratto di donna, di erotica morbosità, sullo sfondo luminoso degli antichi palazzi romani. Tradotto dall'inglese da Bruno Tasso.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Rudland (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some edge wear, chipping and small loss to top and bottom of jacket and spine, some overall browning, spine slightly faded, some offsetting to endpapers, price clipped, gift inscription to ffep, some slight yellowing to page block, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 197pp. 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' is a three act play written by Tennessee Williams (1911-83), an adaptation of his 1952 short story 'Three Players of a Summer Game', he wrote the play between 1953 and 1955. One of Williams's more famous works and his personal favourite, the play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1955. Set in the 'plantation home in the Mississippi Delta' of Big Daddy Pollitt, a wealthy cotton tycoon, the play examines the relationships among members of Big Daddy's family, primarily between his son Brick and Maggie the 'Cat', Brick's wife. 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' features motifs such as social mores, greed, superficiality, mendacity, decay, sexual desire, repression and death. Dialogue throughout is often written using non standard spelling intended to represent accents of the Southern United States. The original production starred Barbara Bel Geddes, Burl Ives and Ben Gazzara. The play was adapted as a motion picture of the same name in 1958, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman as Maggie and Brick, with Burl Ives and Madeleine Sherwood recreating their stage roles.

Small 8vo: 140pp, with black-and-white stills from the film. Publisher's scarlet V cloth, spine lettered in silver, illustrated dust jacket priced 12s/6d. A Very Fine copy. Crandell A17.I.c. "For a number of years Elia Kazan, the director of several of Tennessee Williams's play on Broadway as well as films, had been urging Mr. Williams to weld into an original film story two of his early one-act plays which were, roughly, concerned with the same characters and situation. And in the summer of 1955, while he was traveling in Europe, Mr. Williams wrote and dispatched to Mr. Kazan a proposed script, quite different from the two short plays. With some changes this was filmed the following winter mainly in the Mississippi rural area which had been the original setting of the two short plays." (from the Publisher's Note). The film, Baby Doll, is the story of a middle-aged man married to a girl of twenty and of his jealousy and hatred of the young Italian immigrant who steals first his business, then his wife. Carroll Baker, Eli Wallach, Mildred Dunnock and Karl Malden filled the principal roles. N. B.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First Edition, First Printing. TEMPORARILY DISCOUNTED. WAS $1,250.00. NOW $200. An overall Very Good + copy of the first edition, first printing, of the Savitar, the 1931 -1932 Annual (or Yearbook) for the University of Missouri, published in 1932. The volume is in Very Good condition with a stamp and ownership signature to the front pastedown and some rubbing and wear to the covers, but is easily in better condition copy than the few other copies that we have seen over the past several decades with pages (including the tissue guards) being bright and clean. This unsophisticated volume contains seven (7) tissue guards, one located prior to each "Book" within. Thomas Lanier Williams (generally known by his pen name "Tennessee Williams") attended the University of Missouri from 1929 to 1931. While there, Williams joined the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. While he did not fit in well at his Fraternity, being a member of it led to his obtaining the name by which he later came to fame as it was during his time there that his fraternity brothers dubbed him "Tennessee" for his rich southern drawl. His earliest writings named him as Thomas Lanier Williams, but he published his later, and most famous, works under his "new" name "Tennessee Williams". This issue of Savitar contains one of his earliest appearances in print and the first of his Poems to be published in book form and is (as far as we have been able to determine) his first published Poem and the first publication of any work by him in book form. The Poem is therein printed on page 249 under the title "Not Without Knowledge" (some may identify the Poem as "The Kiss"). No other text is located on that page. His Fraternity is featured on page 224 where he is named as "Thomas L. Williams" of Saint Louis and the Class of 1933, but his image does not appear. Under his Poem on page 249, he is identified as "Thomas Lanier Williams", a member of the "Missouri Chapter of the College Poetry Society." Thus we here have a quite scarce copy of one of the first appearances of any work by renowned writer Tennessee Williams in book form (and also perhaps the first appearance in any form of any published Poem by him) issued by the institution where his famous name "Tennessee" was born then not yet published. QUITE SCARCE INDEED.

The group of ten personal checks, dated from January to November 1978, offers a window into Williams' activity during that time. Several checks were paid to a French restaurant, one to a hospital and several to other bank accounts. Williams is considered on of America's most important dramatists. He won the Pulitzer Prize for "A Streetcar Named Desire" in 1948 and for "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" in 1955. In addition, "The Glass Menagerie" (1945) and "The Night of the Iguana" (1961) received New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards. His 1952 play, "The Rose Tattoo," received the Tony Award for best play. He moved to New Orleans in 1939 and changed his name to "Tennessee" for the state of his father's birth. Williams signs each check in full, "Tennessee Williams" under his printed name. We typically sell Williams' checks for $120-$150. We offer this group for $800/NET.
