Item description from seller

22 p., Ill. Das Exemplar ist in einem sehr guten und sauberen Zustand ohne Anstreichungen. / The copy is in a very good and clean condition without markings. -- (Publishing text:) Morgan O'Hara lived her childhood in a fishing village in Japan. She has studied Buddhism, psychology, geography, languages, aikido and art. She has taught the psichology of creativity for thirty years in different parts of the world. Her artwork and research have resulted in collaborations with geographers, mathematichans, psychologists, sociologists, musicians and men of letters. She has held exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Zurich, Geneva and other cities. "Espressioni dell'anima", from which the works presented here derive, is a series begun in 1989 and first commissioned by Gianni Sassi for Milanopoesia. Morgan O'Hara lives and works in New York. -- Giorgio Milesi has constantly been concerned with languages and has published numerous texts both in Italy and Great Britain. Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd currently distribute a grammar of Italian (Italiano Vivo), intended for English students of Italian. An expert in old engravings and etchings, he has recently brought out his Dizionario degli Incisori (Minerva Italica - Elemond). In the last few years his interest has moved to creative writing, prevalently fables and short stories (Passo di Fiaba, Villaggi in fondo al mondo, Quest'anno non vado in Tailandia, ecc.). Giorgio Milesi lives and works near Bergamo (Italy). -- "The narrators came in and sat down behind a long red table. There were nine of them and they wanted to tell nine little stories. About hornets, dots, prayers, threads, humming-birds and pieces of string. They waited for a long time, but no one came to listen to their words." It wasn't like that at all. There was only one narrator and he didn't see the nine people sitting behind the red table. It was Morgan O'Hara, an artist who had come from afar, who saw them, one at a time. She drew the movements of their hands on a sheet of drawing paper while they were talking, playing music, reading poetry or making cakes. She stared at their hands. The narrator of the nine little stories saw Morgan and the tangle of her drawings. He thought for a long while about the nine people who wanted to tell their tales but went unheeded and wrote the words that were never uttered. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 250.…
