Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 256 pages. Published in 1988. Landmark collection of letters, drawings, photographs, and selected prose. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions…. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Bruno Schulz's "Letters And Drawings With Selected Prose" in a felicitous English translation. Supplemented with three fictional pieces. Schulz is regarded as a major writer of the 20th century on the basis of two slim books, "Street of Crocodiles" and "Sanatorium Under The Sign of The Hourglass". Through incomparable evocations of his inner refuge-world, Schulz creates a child-like universe that will permanently change every reader's expectations about life and literature. His letters represent the last remaining writings that have been found, and show an awareness of important cultural events during his time despite the fact that he lived all his life in a remote and provincial Polish town. A Polish Jew, Schulz was hunted down and shot to death on a ghetto street by a Gestapo officer (to get back at a Gestapo rival, who was Schulz's "patron") during a particularly brutal pogrom in 1942. His fellow Jews were too terrified to remove his body and waited for days before doing so to bury him. After the Second World War, Stalinist Poland condemned his work, inflicting a second, even more fatal death. But true greatness is not only its own reason for being, reward, or redemption. It is, as Ozick acutely observes, the spirit-force itself that quivers constantly with life, contains ghosts, and is immortal. Bruno Schulz is one of the great human souls who have ultimately prevailed in a world of soul-killers. ALL great art and literature have a spiritual dimension, NOT to be confused with mere religiosity, and indeed its exact opposite as it is immanent to the artist's humanity. Bruno Schulz is among the very greatest artist/writers because of his spiritual commitment, not just this dimension: "A kind of DNA code for the secret language of imagination" (Cynthia Ozick). "Schulz strikes us, stuns us even, with its overload of beauty" (John Updike). An absolute "must-have" title for Bruno Schulz collectors. This copy was one of a limited number distributed by the Kosciuszko Foundation to celebrate its 75th Anniversary (1925-2000), indicated as such with a gilt-and-red seal that is neatly pasted on the front free endpaper. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only such copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) 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 rare copy thus. One of the greatest artist/writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BRUNO SCHULZ TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0060158964. no.
