Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Very Good dj. One Volume Edition Second Printing. (price-clipped) [bumped at top rear corner, otherwise a nice clean copy with just light shelfwear; the jacket is a bit age-toned along the edges, with a few tiny nicks along the top and bottom edges, one addtional nick at the right edge of the front panel, and a 2.5-inch split at the bottom rear foldover]. Epic novel set in the Catalonian city of Gerona during the period immediately preceding the Spanish Civil War. "This is the story of a Spanish family [and] of the people of Gerona caught up in an onrushing historical crisis. Representing in themselves the splitting forces that brought on the Civil War, the [family is] torn and puzzled and even destroyed. But they never cease to assert, heart-warmingly, the human estate." Originally published in Spain as "Los cipreses creen en Dios" in 1953, and in the U.S. in a 2-volume edition in 1955, it was the first book in a tetralogy about the Spanish conflict. (This is the second printing of the subsequent one-volume American edition.) Per Wikipedia, it was "written from a Roman Catholic viewpoint, by its Catholic author, who had been educated in a seminary -- but who attempted to approach the many nuances and subtleties among all the factions on the eve of war in a fair, even-handed manner." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.

First edition, first printing. Publishers original black paper covered boards with titles in red and blue to the upper board. 24.8 x 25.4cm. 225pp. Text in German. Typographic cover design by Herbert Bayer. Page typography by László Moholy-Nagy. Illustrated profusely throughout with nine original full page colour lithographs by Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack, Peter Keler, Wolfgang Molnar, Kurt Schmidt, Fritz Schleifer, Rudolph, Paris and László Moholy-Nagy, with a further 11 full page colour plates and 147 black and white plates. Colour lithographs and cover printed by Dietsch & Bruckner, Weimar. A genuinely very good copy, the binding square and firm, with mild rubbing to the extremities, a few light marks to the boards, the corners bumped. The contents, with mild toning to the text pages (not affecting the plates) and few roughly cut edges to a couple of plates, are otherwise clean throughout and free from inscriptions or stamps. All original lithographs are clean, bright and free from tears. An attractive example of this notoriously fragile production which is very uncommon in this entirely original condition. The first book published by the legendary Bauhaus, issued on the occasion of the landmark 1923 exhibition in Weimar. Following its reopening in 1919, the former state art school embarked on a radical new approach to art and education under the direction of Walter Gropius. The 1923 exhibition, 'Art and Technology: A New Unity', offered the public its first comprehensive glimpse of the Bauhaus programme and its revolutionary synthesis of art, craft, architecture, and design. The exhibition catalogue, produced in a total edition of 2,600 copies (comprising 2,000 in German, 300 in English, and 300 in Russian) includes contributions by Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, and Oskar Schlemmer which offer rare insight into the Bauhaus's experimental teaching methods, artistic philosophy, and emerging theoretical principles. A landmark publication and an important primary document of the early Bauhaus, that stands as a testament to the founding of one of the most influential institutions in twentieth-century art, architecture, and design.
