Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Tácito fue el primer gran escritor en mencionar Londres y, desde entonces, muchos otros grandes creadores nos han dejado sus impresiones de la ciudad. En este libro Dostoyevski y Boswell nos acompañan por los bajos fondos londinenses, mientras que Dickens, De Amicis, London o Kipling nos hacen de guías y nos dan consejos para manejarnos en la capital de Inglaterra. Otros, como Beda el Venerable, John Evelyn o Samuel Pepys nos cuentan cómo la ciudad superó pestes, incendios e invasiones, mientras que Soseki, Rimbaud o Verlaine ilustran que no es fácil vivir en Londres si no se dispone de dinero. Jane Austen, Mark Twain o Charlotte Brontë son sólo algunos más de los muchos autores que contribuyen a esta guía, que cuenta también con deliciosos grabados que permiten al lector ver lo que es y también lo que fue. Imprescindible como complemento a una guía tradicional, la Guía literaria de Londres nos permite disfrutar de un triple viaje: en el espacio, hacia los monumentos londinenses; en el tiempo, hacia otras épocas y sensibilidades; y en el espíritu, hacia algunas de las mentes más creativas, divertidas y magníficas que ha dado la Literatura universal. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Fine condition faux red leather boards with elaborately illustrated gold front cover perimeter and spine decorations, gold front cover lettering, and gold spine lettering over a black block border. Includes Editor's Comment and Acknowledgments. Major chapter headings are as follows: Wisdom; Benjamin Franklin; History; Beauty and Business. "Sometimes it seems almost futile to try to write anything new because it has all been said before - and so well said. Of course, any such defeatism must lead to a dead end of accomplishment in terms of literary effort. Fortunately for the living and those to come, there are many bright new stars on the panel of contemporary writers. They are skillfully telling the story of these eventful days and their words will be read with relish by future generations. In fact, the printed word today is so prolific, and the competition with the book, the magazine and the newspaper is so great, future generations will require anthologies in great number to know what our bright literary stars have said. In this anthology there has bee no effort to be erudite, consistent, unusual or educational. The prime purpose is to amuse by exposing the reader to many things he has read before and may wish to read again. Perhaps that poem he [or she] HAD to learn, to pass freshman English, is here. He may even enjoy rereading it under different auspices. It is not possible to include only those things that appeal to him. If he dislikes poetry in any form, we hope he will please forgive us. Some of us like the "well-turned couplet." On the other hand, there are those who love Shakespeare, but just cannot understand how his hallowed words should appear with some of the more commonplace choices that have arrived in this selection. It takes all kinds you know - and we have tried to select all kinds of literature." - excerpt from Editor's Comment.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First edition. Introduction by G.K. Chesterton. Octavo. xiii, 169pp. Blue cloth with bright white printed spine label. Scattered foxing, near fine in a very good dust jacket with spine ends and corners nicked, light foxing, housed in a green leather and cloth slipcase embellished in gilt. Containing "The Royal Society of Literature" by the Most Hon. The Marquess of Crewe, K.G., President, R.S.L.; Ballads by Mrs. Margaret L. Woods; "A Franciscan Poet - Jacopone da Todi" by Evelyn Underhill; "Christina Rossetti" by Walter De La Mare, "Swinburne and Baudelaire" by the Hon.

First edition. Presented by King George V to S. Lawes of the 1st Royal Berkshire Regiment at the 4th London General Hospital, Denmark Hill, on Christmas Day 1914 (inscribed to front free endpaper). Quarto. Publisher's original cream cloth with decorative titles in green to the upper board and spine. Illustrated with a photogravure frontispiece, 16 tipped-in colour plates, 1 further colour plate, and 10 black and white plates. Additional printed presentation plate to front pastedown: "King Albert's Book, with Sir Francis Trippel's Best Wishes for a Happy Xmas, a Speedy Recovery and a Victorious New Year, Xmas 1914". 188pp. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with marking and darkening to the boards. The contents with toning to the endpapers, scattered foxing, and creasing to the corners of some of the tipped-in plates, are otherwise in very good order. Inscribed in black ink to the front free endpaper: "S. Lawes. 1st Royal Berkshire. / December 25th - IH. / 4th London Genera Hospital / Denmark Hill. / Presented by His Majesty King George V" (not in the King's hand). Published in aid of the Belgium Fund, the work includes contributions from over 250 figures from the worlds of literature, art, politics, music, and science. Certainly not an uncommon book, but an evocative copy, presented by King George V to a wounded soldier on Christmas Day 1914, just five months in to the First World War.

Hardcover. Second edition. This is a lovely presentation copy of the second edition of this Christmas anthology, edited by Robert Frost's eldest daughter, featuring several noteworthy signatures, inscriptions, and presentations. This copy offers a compelling and ostensibly unique convocation of associations - including the poet Robert Frost, his daughter Lesley Frost, (in)famous Frost collector Earl J. Bernheimer, and newspaper columnist and syndicator George Matthew Adams. A two-page facsimile manuscript of Robert Frost's poem "Good Relief" fills two pages preceding the title page. Below his facsimile signature, in six lines in black ink, Frost signed and wrote "Robert Frost - | second | signature | for | Earl J. Bernheimer | April 5 1936". The Editor, Leslie Frost, signed "Lesley Frost" below her printed name on the title page. She further signed and inscribed the front free endpaper recto in five lines (three at the upper center, two at the lower left): "For | George Matthew Adams | from | Lesley Frost | N.Y.C. | June 1951". Already unique by inscriptions and association, this copy is also noteworthy for condition, approaching fine in a very good plus dust jacket. It is an attractive little book, bound in blue cloth with elaborate gilt print and illustration on the spine, the contents bound with red and yellow head and tail bands and yellow-stained top edges. The dust jacket is striking, printed in green, red, and black on a silver background, the holly leaves and banners design of the binding spine repeated in color on both the jacket spine and front face edges, with further illustrations on both faces. This copy's blue cloth binding is square, clean, bright, tight, and sharp-cornered, with only trivial hints of shelf wear to extremities. The contents are clean and bright, with no spotting, no soiling, no appreciable toning, and retaining a crisp feel. The dust jacket is bright, unclipped, and nearly complete, with only fractional loss at the spine head, flap fold corners, and the bottom edge of the front face. Light soiling to the rear face and minor scuffs, primarily to the extremities, joints, and flap folds, do not significantly mar the book's excellent presentation. The book is housed in a marbled-paper-lined black cloth chemise nested within a black cloth slipcase with three, gilt-printed, dark red leather spine labels. The slipcase is intact, though worn with some loss to the perimeter of the labels. The circa 1929 facsimile manuscript of Frost's poem "Good Relief" herein is the first published appearance of this poem, which was never included by Robert Frost in one of his collections. "The poem was begun in Beaconsfield, England, in 1912." It was first printed in the first, 1929 edition of Come Christmas, and printed again here in the 1935 second edition.The recipient for whom Frost inscribed this copy was one of the twentieth century's first significant Frost collectors. A wealthy, Beverly Hills bibliophile, Earl J. Bernheimer began collecting Frost's books and manuscripts in 1936 - the same year Frost inscribed this copy of Come Christmas to him. Capitalizing on Frost's financial anxieties, Bernheimer eventually acquired from Frost a magnificent trove of Frostiana, with Frost entertaining the hope and understanding that "Bernheimer would one day donate everything to a single university library." Instead, owing in part to a rancorous and expensive divorce and to Frost's manifest resentment Bernheimer sold off his collection in a famous 1950 New York auction.The editor, Lesley Frost Ballantine or Lesley Frost as she always liked to be known (1899-1983) was the second child of Robert and Elinor Frost. She spent her early childhood on the Derry, New Hampshire farm that informed her father's developing poetic voice and where he drafted many of his early poems. It was during her first marriage and after the birth of her first daughter, Elinor (named after her mother and to whom this book is dedicated) that Leslie edited this collection of "Christmas Poetry, Song, Drama and Prose". This 1935 second edition was issued when Lesley was divorced and teaching. She was an author and worked in various fields, but her most well-known work was as custodian of her father's legacy. She eventually served as the first chair of the Robert Frost Foundation, oversaw restoration of the Frost farm in Derry, and gained "an international reputation for her correspondence with her father's friends and for her articles and lectures on his work."George Matthew Adams (1878-1962), to whom Lesley's inscription is addressed, was a newspaper columnist and founder of the George Matthew Adams News Service, which syndicated columns and comic strips to more than one hundred newspapers all over the world over the course of half a century.References: Crane E17; Parini, Robert Frost: A Life; Tuten and Zubizarreta; University of New Hampshire; University of Rochester, ANB.
