Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. This is "The Mirror of Conrad" a biography and study of the works of the great Polish / English novelist Joseph Conrad, published in 1955 by T. Werner Laurie. This is the hardcover Second Printing, complete with dust-jacket. The book is bound in red, paper-covered… boards, which were given a surface texture to look like cloth. The book is illustrated from photographs ; of interest are the two photographs, one of Conrad's father, Apollo Naleez Korzeniowski; and the other of his mother, Evelina Korzeniowski, née Bobrowska. Excerpted from the jacket write-up : "For E. H. Visiak the mirror of Conrad is that long row of tales and novels which are so astonishing a legacy from the first quarter of this century. It is a mirror in parts crystal clear, and in others clouded and crazed; yet - to find the whole man - it must everywhere be scrutinised with minute attention, and this is what Mr. Visiak has sought to do. Parts of Conrad's works are frankly autobiographical; parts are reputedly so; and parts are 'pure romance' - yet these, too, reflect some essential facets of this strange, impressive, and fascinating genius. For Conrad was, indeed, a man of formidable genius, in his life as well as in his work. This biography is at once a record of that life and a study of the work it produced. E. H. Visiak has studied Conrad's works for fifty years, and some of his earlier criticism upon it was praised by Conrad himself." TITLE : The Mirror of Conrad AUTHOR : E. H. Visiak (Pen name of Edward Harold Physick, 1878 - 1972) IMPRINT : T. Werner Laurie PLACE : London DATE : (1955) EDITION : Unstated Second Printing (bound in paper-covered boards with black lettering on spine, rather than cloth with gilt lettering) STATUS : OP SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES : This copy includes the publisher's printed order form, which is still complete, intact, and unused. PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade hardcover; Contains five plate illustrations, including the frontispiece, which is a reproduction of a pencil sketch of Conrad. The illustrations through the text are taken from photographs, and printed on calendered paper (as is the frontispiece); contains a facsimile of a letter sent by Conrad; contains a Preface, a bibliography, and an Index; 255 pages; approximately 4 3/4" x 8 3/8"; bright red, paper-covered boards and spine, with black lettering on spine; pictorial dust-jacket (with portrait of Conrad on rear panel. CONDITION -- BOOK : NEAR VERY GOOD -- JACKET : VERY GOOD -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and serviceable, with the following particulars noted :: EXTERIOR -- Slight compression to spine extremities, else cover is clean and bright; text-block edges display slight weathering, and a touch of foxing (to the fore-edge) where internal foxing extends to the external. BINDING -- Solid INTERIOR -- The end-papers have toning and foxing (offset toning on the front and rear free end-paper); the most noticeable imperfection to the interior is the presence of a good deal of foxing to the paper, quite noticeable on the title page, front material, and the first few leaves, and diminishing til there seems to be none after the last plate illustration (facing page 48). (The prominent foxing is the reason for the condition grade.) The publisher affixed a label (Printed in Great Britain) to the copyright page which has caused toning on the title page; Else the interior is clean and presentable. DUST-JACKET -- Slight foxing to front panel ; a small smudge to rear panel; a tiny tear to the bottom of the front panel - a small split to the foot of the front flap; spine slightly faded; surface rub is mild. Front flap still has publisher's original price. The whole displays well.

Aggiungi al carrelloFirst edition (expanded). Octavo, pictorial boards. 200 copies printed. In addition to the novel this editions includes twelve short stories, previously uncollected and an essay ("The Significance of Horror Fiction"). The author's short fiction had been previously published in various U.K. anthologies. New introduction by Colin…Wilson. "Visiak is now remembered by macabre enthusiasts for his genuinely original novel MEDUSA (1929). A weird story of a voyage to unknown waters, it earned a dreadful review from the LONDON TIMES when it first appeared, which helped it sink without a trace (the same paper forty years later in Visiak's obituary referred to the book as 'a tour-de-force')" - Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, p. 444. MEDUSA "is a hard to categorize as Lindsay's A VOYAGE TO ARCTURUS (1920). The tale moves gradually, in a slow crescendo, from its beginnings in a normal-seeming nineteenth-century England through adventures at sea and finally into a literal pit of fantasy -- a vast circular hole occupied by the eponymous sea monster which eats sexually aware men alive. The protagonist is a young boy who remains sexually innocent, though haunted by other guilts: he survives while his companions perish." - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), p. 987. [Reference: Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 3-352. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1636. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 219. Bleiler (1978), p. 200. Reginald 14688]. A fine copy, no jacket as issued. (35957).

Aggiungi al carrelloSmall octavo, pp. [1-9] 10 [11] 12-194 [195-196: ads] [note: first leaf is a blank], one illustration by N. W. Physick, title page printed in red and black, original maroon cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. First edition. The author's first novel. Visiak's "best work shadows SF, horr…or and fantasy modes, employing speculative metaphysics in a manner similar to the fiction of his friend David Lindsay. In stories of this sort, the consensual word is argued -- sometimes in passages of considerable length -- as being an expression of the dream world, or world of archetypes. Such texts do not easily fit into template definitions of the various genres of the fantastic . THE HAUNTED ISLAND is clearly fantastic, and engagingly deploys ghosts and magic in a tale of pirates set on a mysterious island in the 17th century." - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, p. 987. Ashley, Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction, p. 175. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 219 (describing a similar copy). Bleiler (1978), p. 200. Reginald 14687. See Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, p. 444 for a concise summary of Visiak's contributions to the horror genre. Corner tips a bit soft, a very good copy with bright cover stamping. A scarce book. (#171554).

"My Dear John, You may have wondered at my silence about my Milton proofs. The explanation is thatthe publication has been postponed until february, and this…has given me the chance of working over and adding to the whole book, with much retyping, alas! - expensive both to pocket and no less failing eyesight. Yet well worth while. I hope very much that you are better. I have been all engrossed - but not forgetting my old friend and helper, As Ever, E.H.V." Folded once for mailing, near fine. E.H. Visiak (pseudonym of Edward Harold Physick 1878-1972); the author of 5 books of poems 1910-1919 (mostly nautical and weird) and the fantasy novels The Haunted Island (1910) & Medusa: A Story of Mystery (1929). Visiak was a scholar, critic and authority on John Milton, the book in question is most likely Visiak's work THE PORTENT OF MILTON: Some Aspects of His Genius (1958).
