Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. SPLENDID: NEW Library of America First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2001) First Printing, NEW LOA slipcase w/ double-ruled gilt borders & LOA-logo gilt-stamped on front panel & sharp new edges & corners, NEW British-green rayon-weave silk-finish Brillianta fabric-over-boards cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners & titles & LOA-colophon handsomely gold-stamped on spine, IMMACULATE smooth-cut text-block exterior, IMPECCABLE white-on-green LOA-patterned card-stock end-papers, NEW Smyth-sewn binding w/ tight signatures & emerald silk page-marker ribbon bound-in from top, PRISTINE interior printed in remarkably clear 10-point Linotron Galliard on SUPERB acid-free Ecusta Nyallite paper * 5.12" x 8.12" x 1.24", 0.67 kg, 1068 pp. With slipcase: 5.46" x 8.50" x 1.42", 0.77 kg * CONTENTS: Novels 1930-1942: Dance Night (1), Come Back to Sorrento (205), Turn, Magic Wheel (371), Angels on Toast (557), & A Time to Be Born (767); Chronology (1045), Note on the Texts (1057), Notes (1061) * ABOUT THE BOOK: American literature has known few writers capable of the comic élan & full-bodied portraiture that abound in the novels of Dawn Powell. Yet for decades after her death Powell's work was out of print, cherished by a small band of admirers. Only recently has there been a rediscovery of the novelist who was such a vital presence in literary Greenwich Village from the 1920s to the 1960s, the writer whom Gore Vidal has called "our best comic novelist" & whom Edmund Wilson considered to be "on a level w/ Anthony Powell, Evelyn Waugh & Muriel Spark." LOA has again made available in an excellent 2-vol. edition the best of Powell's quirky, often hilarious, sometimes deeply moving fiction. Dawn Powell (a vital part of literary Greenwich Village from the 1920s through the 1960s) was the tirelessly observant chronicler of 2 very different worlds: small-town Ohio where she grew up & sophisticated Manhattan to which she gravitated. If her Ohio novels are more melancholy & compassionate, her exuberant & incisive Manhattan novels sparkle w/ a cast of writers, show people, businessmen & hustling hangers-on, all w/ rich characterization & flair for the gist of complex social situations. A playful satirist & unsentimental observer of failed hopes & misguided longings, Dawn Powell is a literary rediscovery of rare importance. The first of the two volumes published by LOA, this volume contains "Dance Night" (1930), Powell's own favorite among her works; "Come Back to Sorrento" (1932), originally published as "The Tenth Moon", a compelling study of frustrated aspirations; "Turn, Magic, Wheel" (1936), a whirlwind tour of Manhattan's literary life; "Angels on Toast" (1940), whose farcical pace recalls screwball comedy; and "A Time To Be Born" (1942), with its evocation of wartime mass media. * "Wittier than Dorothy Parker, dissects the rich better than F. Scott Fitzgerald, is more plaintive than Willa Cather in her evocation of the heartland & has a more supple control of satirical voice than Evelyn Waugh, the writer to whom she's most often compared." - Lisa Zeidner, NYT * Tim Page (editor of this volume) is the author of "Dawn Powell: A Biography" & editor of "The Diaries of Dawn Powell" & "The Selected Letters of Dawn Powell". He won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1997, and is a culture critic at the Washington Post. * The Library of America is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).* SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost charge & via USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international destinations.

Walking into Everywhere 1998 (Page & Plant USA Concert Program) Page and Plant (also known as Jimmy Page & Robert Plant) were an English rock band active between 1994 and 1998. The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant (both formerly of English rock band Led Zeppelin), accompanied by bassist Charlie Jones and drummer Michael Lee. Formed in 1994 for an MTV Unplugged reunion, Page and Plant released the platinum-selling live album No Quarter, featuring both new material and Middle Eastern-influenced covers of classic Led Zeppelin songs. Following the success of the live album, they embarked on a world tour featuring a full orchestra. In 1998, Page and Plant released Walking into Clarksdale, comprising entirely new material and featuring the Grammy Award-winning single "Most High". Following the album's release, they embarked on a second world tour before disbanding at the end of 1998. The band reunited for a final performance in 2001.

From the dust jacket: "Primarily an attack on serfdom and an appeal to the Sovereign and the landed gentry to free the serfs voluntarily, [the book] has been described as a Russian 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' Published in 1790, the book was banned immediately and the author first sentenced to death, then banished to eastern Siberia. On the order of the Empress Catherine II, who read the 'Journey' very carefully, all copies that could be found were collected and burned. The few that escaped were widely circulated and laboriously copied out by hand, but the book was not freely published in Russia until 1905." This is a reprint of the first English edition of 1958. VG-, clean and tight with very light wear to covers. Clean but with chips to top/bottom of spine and front cover; 3-inch piece missing from upper part of back.
