Soft cover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 218 pages. Published in 2018. The author's breakthrough debut novel, in its very belated English translation. The author's singular masterpiece. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editio…ns. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. The book remains available in multiple subsequent printings. Presents, in its true First Edition format, Jorge Baron Biza's "Desierto y su semilla" in the definitive English translation by Camilo Ramirez. Afterword by Nora Avaro, which provides the crucial context of - the story behind - the novel. It is, after all, authentic and autobiographical, with an innovative literary twist: It is centered around the author's parents, narrated from the author's point-of-view (rather than focussed on the author). The real-life tragedy, which the novel re-imagines, is about the inexorable sequence of deaths, not just one death, in the family: The suicide of the Father who, before shooting himself, splashed sulfuric acid on his wife's face, permanently disfiguring her, followed by the Mother's eventual suicide, the sister's suicide, and posthumously, the author's. It's genetic, as if they carried within them a "suicide gene", "semilla" (Spanish for sperm/semen, which the translator, for understandable reasons, euphemistically re-names the more poetic "seed") that was passed on, and not one family member was fit or fortunate enough to overcome it. "Jorge Baron Biza's 'The Desert And Its Seed' was rejected by publishers in Buenos Aires and was finally self-published in 1998, three years before the author also committed suicide. Written in a captivating plain style with dark, bitter humor, it has become a great modern classic, published to enormous acclaim throughout the Spanish-speaking world and translated into many languages" (Publisher's blurb). "The best articulation of human pain I've read in a very long time, maybe ever. Incredible to think this is all he wrote. But he got it perfectly. So he didn't need to write another book" (Tamas Dobozy). That is exactly right: The point of writing is to write at least one masterpiece, not necessarily produce a "body of work". Plus: The subject of ALL great literature is every human pain. In this novel, it is pain at its most fundamental level: The pain inflicted on the physical body, which Jorge Baron Biza describes in brutal, relentless detail. The psychological pain that follows is merely the finishing blow. "A great novel" (Alejandro Zambra Cover Blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Jorge Baron Biza collectors. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: ALL other copies available online are in multiple subsequent printings and have serious flaws ("Good", "Very Good"). This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest novels of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO MIGUEL ANGEL ASTURIAS' "THE PRESIDENT" TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0811225801. no.

Tapa Blanda. Condition: New. En la década del 50 surge la generación denuncialista, la primera generación crítica de la literatura argentina. Este grupo de intelectuales, ideológicamente definidos como de izquierda, se diferenció de los pensadores orgánicos de la izquierda partidaria y marcó distancia con la tradición del libera…lismo. Cambiaron los protocolos de lectura de la novela y el ensayo argentino y, a partir de las figuras de Arlt y Martínez Estrada, impusieron un modelo de escritor sincero y comprometido con el contorno, la circunstancia y su proyeccióna la historia y a la política argentina. Avaro y Capdevila estudian este movimiento y presentan una selección de artículos de David Viñas, Ismael Viñas, Juan José Sebreli, León Rozitchner, Noé Jitrik, Adolfo Prieto, O. Masotta, R. Alcalde,Adelaida Gigli, Carlos Correas, Regina Gibaja, que muestranlas polémicas literarias que marcaron el surgimiento de la generación y los asuntos que la convocaron. 339 Páginas. 440 gr. Libro.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - El oso, el hombre que vio al oso, el hombre que vio al hombre que vio al oso. De ellos se trata en estos ensayos. Del escritor, la artista, el testigo, el biógrafo, la lectora. Y de los muchos que aún podrían sumarse al acontecimiento de la visión y la conjetura, pleno de detalles circunsta…nciales y encanto narrativo. Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Mastronardi, Arnaldo Calveyra, Juan José Saer, Adolfo Prieto, Oscar Masotta, María Laura Schiavoni. les dan nombre a sus vidas, a sus obras, y a la imaginación que las vincula en la escena biográfica. Nora Avaro cita complacida Biography de Thomas Carlyle: Qué incalculable fuerza reside para nosotros en esta consideración: lo que ahora imagino en mi mente realmente ocurrió. Y no es para menos, porque en este libro los osos y los hombres que vieron a los hombres que los vieron le deben todo a esa consideración.
