Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 219 pages. Published in 1986. Landmark collection of the author's literary essays. Now considered a late-modern classic. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other sub…sequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Octavio Paz's "On Poets And Others" in a felicitous English translation. Writings of the great Mexican poet and essayist from the past three decades: Acute and penetrating critical pieces on Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, William Carlos Williams as well as such great figures as Luis Bunuel, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Charles Baudelaire, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Andre Breton. "Each chapter is an adventure of the mind" (Publisher's blurb). The Renaissance Man of Mexican literature, Paz was considered its greatest poet as early as the 1950's. Paz became a world figure with his elegiac study of Mexico, "The Labyrinth of Solitude", still the single best book on his beloved country. Paz was also a statesman who served in the Mexican government's diplomatic service. The author of more than 30 books, he is regarded as a hero in all of Latin America, despite - perhaps, because of - the fact that he resigned as Ambassador to India when Mexican police opened fire on a group of protesting students. Paz spent much of the rest of his life writing and teaching at Harvard and other universities in the United States and Europe. An absolute "must-have" title for Octavio Paz collectors. This title is a late-modern classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1990. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER OCTAVIO PAZ TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0805000038. no.

Add to basketFirst UK edition. Octavo hardcover; black boards with gilt spine titling and black endpapers; 219pp. Mild spotting to upper text block edges. Very good to near fine and wrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary dep…ending on size and weight. Critical essays from over three decades. In the sixteen pieces collected here, Paz discusses a wide range of poets and writers, both American and international, from Robert Frost and Walt Whitman to William Carlos Williams; from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Luis Bunuel to Alexander Solzhenitsyn; and from Charles Baudelaire to Jean-Paul Sartre, Andre Breton, and Henri Michaux. Paz writes, "I believe that a writer's attitude to language should be that of a lover: fidelity and, at the same time, a lack of respect for the beloved object. Veneration and transgression.".
