Personally hand signed by the author, Michael Ondaatje, directly to the full title page. NOT a tip in. NOT a bookplate. Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade…Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! From one of the most influential writers of his generation, a gorgeously surprising poetry collection about memory, history, and the act of looking back Following several of his internationally acclaimed novels, A Year of Last Things is Michael Ondaatje's long-awaited return to poetry. In pieces that are sometimes witty, sometimes moving, and always wise, we journey back through time by way of alchemical leaps, unearthing writings by revered masters, moments of shared tenderness, and the abandoned landscapes we hold on to to rediscover the influence of every border crossed. Moving from a Sri Lankan boarding school to Molière's chair during his last stage performance, to Bulgarian churches and their icons, to the California coast and his beloved Canadian rivers, Michael Ondaatje casts a brilliant eye that merges memory with the present, in the way memory as the distant shores of art and lost friends continue to influence everything that surrounds him. From his poem "His chair, a narrow bed, a motel room, the fox": At the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles Sam Cooke was shot dead. 'See that shadow on the wall . . .' All those motels and hotels in literature and song, where X wrote this, where Y got drunk, where Z overdosed. The one Hank Williams was driven past, dead already in his car. The Slavianski Bazaar Hotel in "The Lady with a Dog," where Dmitri imagines their dark but hopeful future. The Hôtel de ville de Courtrai,where Verlaine shot Rimbaud. The Casa Verdi in Milan, where retired opera singers were welcomed along with various heteronyms of Fernando Pessoa in their afterlife. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. EXCEPTIONALLY SCARCE SIGNED! FIRST EDITION, first printing STATED. Book is brand new and unread. Personally hand signed directly to half title page at event in Los Angeles by the author, Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia. NOT inscribed to anyone. NOT a tip…in. NOT a bookplate. Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar. NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the founder of Wikipedia, a sweeping reflection on the global crisis of credibility and knowledge, revealing "the rules of trust" that transformed Wikipedia from a scrappy experiment into a global utility used by billions of people—and how those rules can help others build things that last "An important book . . . both hopeful and practical."—Yuval Noah Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century From the beginning, people predicted Wikipedia's demise. Instead, this global experiment in sharing knowledge and expertise online has become part of the fabric of modern, connected life. Today, every month, people view Wikipedia 11 billion times—just in the English language. The Internet's encyclopedia has become a global utility, like water or electricity, and we rarely pause to consider the extraordinary fact of its existence. Long before it became the biggest collection of knowledge in the history of the world, Wikipedia had to overcome its greatest challenge: getting strangers on the Internet to trust each other. They had to trust that others would not be abusive or uncivil. They had to trust that others would not unfairly change or erase their contributions. They had to trust that people had good intentions. Trust, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales says, is a treasure. But it is not inanimate, like gold or gems. Trust is a living thing that can and must be cultivated. This book will show you how. And it will reveal how his organization, this one-time punchline, has become a global authority—in the same two decades when the public's trust in everything else, from government to social media, has trended backwards. Every community on earth depends on trust; it underpins our capacity to know things, and it is at an all-time low. Inspiring, approachable, and packed with candid lessons from the early days of Wikipedia, The Seven Rules of Trust is a guide to kickstarting a positive loop of accountability and creativity—and to building things that stand the test of time.
