Softcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Inscribed by Author. The Garden Gate, a book full of stories and characters, takes as its starting point a historian's invitation to his family and friends to celebrate the completion of a biography. The venue, chosen because the subject of his study is the botanist Ferdinand von Muell…er, is the Royal Botanic Gardens, and it is through the several gates of this famous garden that the characters enter our consciousness. The time is the late seventies, the place Melbourne, and the members of the group, having dispersed before the party has properly begun, are followed through their intertwining lives until the book returns to where it began. 421 pages.

Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. Inscribed by Author. Operas are known by their composers, famous arias they contain, and well loved singers who've starred in them. Librettists are for the most part ignored, because audiences, concentrating on voices and, if moderately sophisticated, the action, hardly wonder whose ideas underl…ie what they see and hear. But they are there, the Da Pontes and Boitos who gave The Marriage of Figaro to Mozart and Falstaff to Verdi. The famous situations of Europe's operatic tradition had to be created before music could be found for them. This collection of eighteen librettos sets out to create a new and different tradition, suitable for a populist, indeed revisionist age, able to see the great tradition in an altered way, and then to turn it into something else. Love in the Age of Wings, which gives the collection its title, was written first, and after that came all the others 192 pages. Oblong. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Music::Opera; Fiction; Inscribed by Author. Inventory No: 264709.
