Prima edizione
First Edition. Octavo. 154 pages. Signed by the artist. Author's first book. Abalone, Arizona, is a sleepy southwestern town whose chief concerns are boredom and surviving the Great Depression. That is, until the circus of Dr. Lao arrives and immensely and irrevocably changes the lives of everyone drawn to its tents. Expecting a sideshow spectacle, the citizens of Abalone instead confront and learn profound lessons from the mythical made real--a chimera, a Medusa, a talking sphinx, a sea serpent, witches, the Hound of the Hedges, a werewolf, a mermaid, an ancient god, and the elusive, ever-changing Dr. Lao. The circus unfolds, spinning magical, dark strands that ensnare the town's populace: the sea serpent's tale shatters love's illusions; the fortune-teller's shocking pronouncements toll the tedium and secret dread of every person's life; sensual undercurrents pour forth for men and women alike; and the dead walk again. Dazzling and macabre, literary and philosophical, The Circus of Dr. Lao has been acclaimed as a masterpiece of speculative fiction and influenced such writers as Ray Bradbury. Bound in red cloth, central pastedown of a mask, paper spine label, pictorial endpapers, some finger soiling to boards with a couple of small stains, in unclipped pictorial dust jacket which lacks the spine, upper flap detached but present rear flap has chipping along the fold.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Boris Artzybasheff(Illustrator) (illustratore). First Edition. The Circus of Dr. Lao by Charles G. Finney (First Edition) Firm copy with minor rubbing to corners and spine ends. Wear to edges and spine ends with sunning to spine. Pink water staining to inner back cover showing through slightly. Original red cloth with black paper plate title and decoration. Pictorial dust jacket illustrated by Boris Artzybasheff. "To which Boris Artzybasheff has added seven interpretations of his own." It won one of the inaugural National Book Awards: the Most Original Book of 1935. The novel is set in the fictional town of Abalone, Arizona. A circus owned by a Chinese man named Dr. Lao pulls into town one day, carrying legendary creatures from all areas of mythology and legend, among them a sea serpent, Apollonius of Tyana (who tells dark, yet always truthful, fortunes), a medusa, and a satyr. Through interactions with the circus, the locals attain various enigmatic peak experiences appropriate to each one's personality. The novel was later adapted by Charles Beaumont into the script for an effects-filled 1964 movie 7 Faces of Dr. Lao. The film features a great deal of stop-motion animation and was produced by George Pal, a stop-motion animator of long experience. BOOK.
