Softcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Corrected & Enlarged Fourth Printing. [light spotting and minor creasing to front cover]. Trade PB (B&W comic book reproductions) The classic Marxist interpretation of the comic books put out worldwide under the Disney brand, with a particular focus on the money-grubbing adventures of Uncle Scrooge, "the World's Richest Duck." Originally published in Chile in 1971, it was "banned and burned" as soon as the government of Salvador Allende was toppled in 1973. A randomly-sampled couple of observations from the text: (1) "The world of Disney is a nineteenth century orphanage. With this difference: there is no outside, and the orphans have nowhere to flee to." (2) "Mr. Disney, we are returning your Duck. Feathers plucked and well-roasted. Look inside, you can see the handwriting on the wall, our hand still writing on the wall: Donald, Go Home!" (There's something like this on every page.) The translator, art historian David Kunzle, has contributed a long and erudite (and resolutely critical of Walt Disney) introduction to the English edition. This printing (the fourth) incorporates some additional front matter not present in the first (1975) printing, notably a full page of excerpts from reviews of the English-language edition; David Kunzle's introduction has been updated for this printing, which also adds an appendix by John Shelton Lawrence, "Donald Duck vs. Chilean Socialism: A Fair Use Exchange," addressing the legal and political right to criticize Disney. It's been stated that the book had been "banned in the USA," but this seems to have been something of an overstatement of the fact that a shipment of the 1975 English-language edition had been seized by U.S. Customs officials concerned about its possible infringement on Disney's copyrights, but released after a year when it was ruled that the mere act of importing the book did not constitute "piracy.".…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 255 pages. Published in 1991. Landmark collection of essays. One of the finest books on its subject ever written. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Softcover Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by a University Press. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Ariel Dorfman's "Some Write To The Future: Essays On Contemporary Latin-American Fiction" in a felicitous English translation. A brilliant and indispensable collection. Incisive, insightful, and highly provocative essays on some of the greatest Latin-American writers. Among them: Jorge Luis Borges, Alejo Carpentier, Miguel Angel Asturias, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, to whom the erudite Ariel Dorfman devotes a chapter apiece. One of Chile's finest writers, Ariel Dorfman has lived in exile in the United States since the bloody collapse of the Allende Government in a US-sponsored coup whose principal architect, Augusto Pinochet, has since died in disgrace. As his title implies, the ultimate greatness of Latin-American literature is that its greatest writers were writing with posterity, that is to say, with literature in mind, rather than just the bottom line or immediate commercial success. A great English novelist memorably described the work of Ariel Dorfman as that of a writer "capable of seeing God in the vertigo of experience" (John Berger). An absolute "must-have" title for Ariel Dorfman collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Should NOT be confused with the Softcover Edition. Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0822311305.…
