Book First Edition
Milano, Feltrinelli (Tip. "La Tipografica Varese"), collana «Le comete», 1, 1959 (settembre), Seconda edizione italiana. Ottimo esemplare. Brossura con leggeri segni d usura, dorso brunito; carte e tagli normalmente bruniti. Seconda edizione italiana del settembre 1959 (la prima edizione, sempre Feltrinelli, è del giugno dello stesso anno) con traduzione di Luciano Bianciardi per il primo volume della collana «Le comete» del capolavoro di James Patrick Donleavy. Respinto da moltissimi editori negli Stati Uniti per il suo contenuto considerato osceno, "The Ginger Man" fu inizialmente pubblicato nel 1955 dalla casa editrice con sede a Parigi Olympia Press su consiglio di Brendan Behan, scrittore, drammaturgo e membro dell IRA amico di Donleavy. Specializzata nella pubblicazione di libri in lingua inglese considerati contrari alla morale pubblica, la Olympia sfruttava le più tolleranti leggi francesi per aggirare la censura (pubblicando per prima, tra gli altri, «Lolita» di Nabokov). Il romanzo dello scrittore americano, tuttavia, venne inserito nella collana esplicitamente dedicata a testi pornografici, scatenando la reazione rabbiosa di Donleavy. Ne nacque una lunga causa legale tra le due parti che si trascinò per anni, mentre il libro - a lungo comunque bandito in molti paesi - si diffondeva ottenendo un enorme successo. in 8°, brossura con titoli neri e arancioni al piatto e neri al dorso, pp. 353 [3].

First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. First English Edition. First UK edition (and first hardcover edition), first printing. Publisher's blue cloth, with spine lettered in black; in its original blue pictorial dust jacket, with black and orange illustration of a lounging Sebastian Dangerfield, lettered in orange. Fine, with just a touch of toning to foot of spine, and a tiny bump to right edge of front board; fine unclipped dust jacket, with a hint of fading to spine. Overall, a pristine copy. The titular "ginger man" of J. P. Donleavy's classic debut novel is Sebastian Dangerfield, a young and charismatic man studying law at Dublin University, who lives with his wife and infant in an eerie, ramshackle house on a cliff. The book follows Sebastian on his comic misadventures, as he engages in messy affairs and drinks himself into oblivion. The book is told in a picaresque style, in the vein of Henry Fielding's Tom Jones (1749) and Laurence Stern's Tristram Shandy (1759), with stream-of-conscious prose that often verges on poetry. The book was originally published in softcover by the Paris-based Olympia Press, which published other famously controversial books like Nabokov's Lolita (1955) and William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch (1959). Donleavy was enraged at Olympia Press for publishing the novel under their "pornographic" imprint, the Traveller's Companion series, and became embroiled in a twenty-year legal battle with Olympia Press's publisher, Maurice Girodias, which culminated in Donleavy purchasing Olympia Press at auction after Girodias declared bankruptcy. This first UK edition of The Ginger Man was published one year after the true first edition, with the text expurgated to comply with British standards.
