Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 745 pages. Published in 1998. Massive collection of essays on subject. One of the greatest books of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. 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 rare. Publisher's "Autographed Copy" round white sticker pasted in front. Presents Harold Bloom's "Shakespeare: The Invention of The Human". The crowning achievement of Bloom's genius: A 745-page celebration - "commentary" does not quite do justice in this context - of the one writer that he, very controversially, regards as the greatest literary artist of all time, the beginning, the middle, and the end of everything, in effect AND affect. The central narrative of Harold Bloom's life-work is the existential struggle between "authority" and "personality". Whether it's specifically between orthodoxy versus heresy, The Holy Bible versus The Book of J, normative Judaism and Christianity versus mystical Kabbalah/Gnosticism, "personality" is triumphant because it is more expressive, more subtle, and more multitudinous whereas "authority" inevitably becomes predictable, rigid, and ossified. The idea of "personality" is not just articulated, but sublimely dramatized by Bloom. He credits Shakespeare with inventing it, and devotes a definitive essay to each of the plays, emphasizing their "personality" and influence on all subsequent literature, feeling, and thought. "Before Bloom is done with us, he has made us wonder whether his vision of Shakespeare's influence on the whole of our lives might not simply be the sobering truth. A feast of arguments and insights, written with engaging frankness and affecting immediacy. Filled with literally thousands of insights" (Daniel Hintzsche). "The ultimate use of Shakespeare is to let him teach you to think too well and towards whatever truth you can sustain without perishing" (Harold Bloom). An absolute "must-have" title for Harold Bloom collectors. This Autographed Copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the publisher's tipped-in page by Harold Bloom. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such pre-signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The publisher issued a limited number of pre-signed copies, which vanished from bookstores (within a day of their release in 1998). No such copies have resurfaced since, more than twenty years later (as of 2019), which means that collectors have held on to them. Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. The greatest literary critic of our time on the greatest writer of all time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER HAROLD BLOOM TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1573221201. Signed by Author.…

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 215 pages. Published in 2000. The author's nineteenth novel. One of John Updike's finest achievements. Limited "Signed First Edition Society" Edition of 1000 copies. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the regular trade edition. Published as a handsome leather-bound edition only. There is no ISBN. The Limited Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Franklin Mint: Regular-sized volume format. Dark brown leather boards with gilt King And Queen of Spades Card Designs on the cover and back, as issued. Matching gilt titles on the spine. Text by John Updike. "Special Message" Essay Introduction by the author, which appears in this Limited Edition only. As expected, it is illuminating and beautifully written. Letter From The Publisher, printed on separate glossy stock paper, laid-in. Drawing Frontispiece by S. Thomas Belton. Raised bands. Gilt paper edges. Marbled endpapers. Red satin ribbon marker bound-in. Printed on archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The production values are exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its Limited Edition format, John Updike's "Gertrude And Claudius". His imaginative "prequel" to Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Which means his literary subject is Shakespeare THROUGH the Master's greatest play. "Precisely honed, buoyant with sly wit, masterful character analysis, and astutely observed historical details. This tour-de-force by the protean Updike re-imagines the circumstances leading to Shakepeare's Hamlet. Though he wears his knowledge lightly, Updike establishes the context of the time through details of social, cultural, intellectual, and theological ideas. The resolution is breathtaking" (Library Journal). An absolute "must-have" title for John Updike collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 1000 copies. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the Front Limitation Page by John Updike. In addition, it comes with a lovely Handwritten Note to a colleague, which neatly sums up his novel: "For K. , This dear little flight of fancy, John Updike". The recipient, who is named, was a colleague and friend, and cannot be named here. His inscription is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen: Specific, self-deprecating, and heartfelt. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws. It is difficult to understand how a Limited Edition could be handled so badly. A scarce signed copy thus. A writer all his adult life, John Updike was probably the most-honored American writer of our time. In 2003, Updike received the National Medal for Humanities, joining a very small group of great living Americans who have been honored with both the National Medal of the Arts and the National Medal for the Humanities. Updike's greatest novels, "Rabbit Is Rich" and "Rabbit At Rest", won Pulitzer Prizes. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOHN UPDIKE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
