Hardcover. Condición: Good. Lively account of expatriate life in the `city of the lily' that moves fleetingly between present and past. Leavitt's narrative limns the history of the foreign colony from its origins in the mid-19th century until its demise under Mussolini, and considers the appeal of Florence to figures as diverse as Tchaikovsky, E.M. Forster, Mary McCarthy, discusses the moving of Michelangelo's David, and as well analyzes the city's portrayal in such novels & films as 'A Room with a View' and 'Tea with Mussolini.' 176p.…

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 176 pages. Published in 2002. Book-length account on subject. One of David Leavitt's finest achievements. 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 and as part of the now-legendary "The Writer In The City" Series. It is the third title in the Series, preceded by Edmund White's "The Flaneur: A Stroll Through The Paradoxes of Paris" and Peter Carey's "30 Days In Sydney: A Wildy Distorted Account". Edmund White's book was a major bestseller. But the other titles in the Series, all seven of them exemplary "must-reading", remain under-appreciated, and deserve a much wider reader/collector audience. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents David Leavitt's "Florence, A Delicate Case". A minor masterpiece that one will read and re-read for both pleasure and illumination. The title comes from Henry James, a veteran Florence visitor/observer/admirer of his time, who described the city as such. Other luminaries include Tchaikovsky, E. M. Forster ("A Room With A View"), Ronald Firbank, and Mary McCarthy ("The Stones of Florence"). David Leavitt now contributes his own elegant and literate appreciation. "Brings the wonders and mysteries of Florence alive, illuminating why it is, and always has been, one of the most popular destinations in the world" (Publisher's blurb). Leavitt knows whereof he writes: He spent nearly a decade in Italy, in self-exile, following the debacle of the "While England Sleeps" (1993) libel suit by its "hell hath no fury like an old queer" subject, Sir Stephen Spender. He made the most of his Italian exile, writing two other books, "Italian Pleasures" (1996) and "In Maremma" (2001), all three being beautifully written accounts - the "writer travelogue" is a veritable genre unto itself - distinguished by their strong literary value, in stark contrast to the Baedeker of the past and pedestrian contemporary travel guides. An absolute "must-have" title for David Leavitt collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by David Leavitt. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of only two such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DAVID LEAVITT TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1582342393. Signed by Author.…
