Softcover. Condition: Good. First Thus. Set in mid-nineteenth-century Italy, Passion tells of a love triangle involving Giorgio, an officer in the Italian army; Clara, a robust young married woman with a child; and the grotesque, vampire-like Fosca, who embodies the romantic macabre. The relationships, one involving adultery and the other a flouting of social conventions, are treated with warped extremity, at once serious and ironic.

RITES is Perera's powerful portrait of growing up as a Jewish boy in the exotic and violent world of Guatamala in the forties. "Victor Perera is one of those rare writers who need never suffer the uncertainties of translation, for besides his fluency in both English and Spanish, he has both a Latin American and a North American sensibility. RITES is another fine example of how affectingly he can cross from one to the other, bringing all his insights with him"-Alastair Reid.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. F First English Language Edition. Passion, courage, beauty, indomitable will, rare talent: these are the qualities of the sculptor Camille Claudel. And of the book by Anne Delbee, the book that caused a sensation in France, inspired a motion picture, and resurrected the artist for a public that had forgotten her.Camille Claudel's work possesses a unique power and visionary originality, marking her as one of the greatest sculptors of the nineteenth century. At a time when it was a scandal for a young woman to wish to be a sculptor, Camille threw all her innate enthusiasm and implacable will into just such quest. In 1883, she met Auguste Rodin, and the master accepted her as a student; soon he became her lover. After fifteen years of a passionate and stormy relationship and being beaten down by a system that strongly favored male artists, Camille emerged exhausted and vanquished. In 1913, protective of the career of her brother, the poet Paul Claudel, her family placed Camille in an asylum near Avignon, where she spent the final thirty years of her life.In this fictionalized biography (illustrated by photographs of the artist's work and including many passages from her letters from the asylum), Anne Delbee probes, with sympathy and sensitivity, the heart and soul of Camille Claudel, restoring her to her rightful place as woman and artist.

Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. A book of stories by the Mexican writer Jesus Gardea. The stories are part of a sophisticated literature that, in its swiftness and anecdote, runs counter to prevalent literary trends. The stories are marked by repeating elements - a room, a window. Outside, the great exhausting sun, inside, souls, more than characters. They live in an existential world in which the cruelties of chance are the condition of life. Often pursuing absurd activities - moving an unclaimed dresser in a rowboat, clearing a patch of land that nobody wants - they could take as their motto Beckett's "I can't go on, I'll go on." The atmosphere is intimate and strange, swirling, violent. The language is characterized by short, blunt phrases. There is vengeance in almost every case. On finishing Jesus Gardea's stories, one is often unsure exactly what has taken place, or if it occurred in a psychic or physical realm. Gardea's early stories have something in common with Faulkner, Rulfo, Onetti, later stories move away on a path reminiscent of Goya, Kafka, or Bacon, and in his most recent stories, the author enters a strange world that is uniquely his own, that draws nourishment from the arid landscape and cloistered life of northern Mexico, and also from a metaphysical strain that develops in his work. Without question, this ample collection of the author's work encapsulates the least classifiable - and in many aspects the most remarkable - career in Mexican literature.
