Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Mitten in den Umwalzungen des Ersten Weltkriegs und trotz ungunstiger wirtschaftlicher Rahmenbedingungen erfullten sich zwei Frauenin New York City ihren Traum. Madge Jenison und Mary Mowbray-Clarke grundeten 1916 eine Buchhandlung, die innerhalb kurzer Zeit zum kulturellen Fixpunkt in Manhattan wurde. 'The Sunwise Turn' ist das Urbild einer Buchhandlung, wie sie wohl jeder Bucherfreundin, jedem Bucherfreund vorschwebt. Kunstler und Intellektuelle verkehrten hier ebenso wie Vertreter des Geldadels, Angehorige der Mittelschicht und Arbeiter. Damen der Gesellschaft arbeiteten unentgeltlich als Aushilfe, auch die junge Peggy Guggenheim erledigte Botengange. Zum besonderen Reiz dieser literarischen Liebeserklarung an eine Buchhandlung gehort es, dass viele Episoden und selbst kaufmannische Gepflogenheiten noch heute muhelos nachvollziehbar sind. Unternehmerische Risiken und erdruckende Konkurrenz, aber auch das Gluck des Gelingens - all das spiegelt Jenisons 'menschliche Komodie des Bucherverkaufens'. Nach der Lekture ist man uberzeugt, dass sich ihr Mut zum Risiko gelohnt hat.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Sunwise Turn; A Human Comedy of Bookselling' is an engaging and witty memoir detailing the creation and operation of one of New York City's most influential independent bookshops. Written by Madge Jenison, one of the store's founders, the narrative captures the vibrant intellectual life of the early 20th century while chronicling the practical and often humorous realities of the book trade.The work offers a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and triumphs of female entrepreneurship in the 1920s. Jenison describes the shop-located in a small townhouse-as more than just a retail space; it was a cultural hub where artists, writers, and thinkers gathered. From the intricacies of inventory management to the art of matching the right book with the right reader, the text explores the philosophy of 'human' bookselling.Through vivid anecdotes and a spirited writing style, Jenison illuminates the passion required to sustain a literary business. 'Sunwise Turn; A Human Comedy of Bookselling' serves as both a historical document of the New York literary scene and an enduring celebration of the bond between booksellers and their community.
