New ed. Paperback trade, very good condition, bottom corner rear cover little creased, covers little scratched, minor edgewear. 202 pp. This Mark Twain Library text of this surprising and little-known novel (No. 44) is a photographic reproduction of the text published in Mark Twain's Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts. Based on boyhood memories of the Mississippi River Valley and the printshops of Hannibal, the story is set in medieval Austria at the dawn of the printing craft. It is a psychic adventure, full of phantasmagoric effects, in which a penniless printer's apprentice - a youthful mysterious stranger with the curious name 44 - gradually reveals his otherworldly powers and the hidden possibilities of the mind. Ending on a startling note, this surprisingly existential novel reveals a darker side to the author's genius. Presents for the first time the novel as Mark Twain wrote it. Features expert notes and commentary, and - for the first in the Mark Twain Library edition - a glossary of printer's terms.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st. Cloth, xiii, 256 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Small remainder mark/tail edge. First printing. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. *** "Stelarc is the most celebrated artist in the world working within technology and the visual arts. He is both an artist and a phenomenon, using his body as medium and exhibition space. Working in the interface between the body and the machine, employing virtual reality, robotics, medical instruments, prosthetics, and the Internet, Stelarc's art includes physical acts that don't always look survivableor, as science fiction novelist William Gibson puts it in his foreword, 'sometimes seem to include the possibility of terminality.' Stelarc's projects include Third Hand, a grasping and wrist rotating mechanism with a rudimentary sense of touch that is attached to the artist and activated by EMG from other body areas; Amplified Body, in which the artist performs acoustically with his brainwaves, muscles, pulse, and blood flow signals; and the Stomach Sculpture, a device--or 'aesthetic adornment'--placed in the artist's stomach and presented through video. Works in progress include the Extra Ear Project, a soft prosthesis of skin and cartilage to be constructed on the artist's arm. Stelarc's work both reflects and determines new directions in performance art and body art. Although there have been hundreds of articles written about Stelarc since he began performing in the late 1960s, Stelarc: The Monograph is the first comprehensive study of Stelarc's work practice in over thirty years. Gathering a range of writers who approach the work from a variety of perspectives, it includes William Gibson's account of his meetings with Stelarc, Arthur and Marilouise Kroker's emphatic 'WE ARE ALL STELARCS NOW,' and Stelarc himself in conversation with Marquard Smith. Taken together, these writers give us a multiplicity of ways to think about Stelarc." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The will to evolve, by Jane Goodall; An itinerary and five excursions, by Timothy Druckrey; We are all Stelarcs now, by Arthur and Marilouise Kroker; Stelarc's technological "Transcendence"/Stelarc's wet body: the insistent return of the flesh, by Amelia Jones; The evolutionary alchemy of reason, by Brian Massumi; A sensorial act of replication, by Julie Clarke; Animating bodies, mobilizing technologies: Stelarc in conversation, by Stelarc and Marquard Smith.
