Spine tight. ***382 pages. 196mm x 130mm. ***'The trilogy seen as a whole comprises one of the most remarkable, most original and most haunting prose works of the century. It is concerned with the search for identity, for the true self which can rest from self caricature; and as a parallel it is concerned with the true silence which is the end of speech. Molloy, Malone and their final unnamable incarnation are paradigms of humanity in general and of the artist in particular. Beckett has seen the Gorgon's head; but he has not been turned to stone.' - Times Literary Supplement (Quote taken from the back cover) ***First impression of the first UK paperback edition of this collection of novels by Samuel Beckett. This first UK paperback edition is uncommon, especially in this near fine condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Text printed by Will and Sebastian Carter on paper made by J. Barcham Green.

Rather than being signed on the colophon page as with the regular copies, this is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front of the folder: "for Herbert Myron/from his friend/Sam. Beckett/Paris May/1973." The text of THE NORTH comprises the penultimate paragraph of THE LOST ONES with minor variants from the full edition in English. Herbert Myron, a professor of French at Boston University, was a friend who had a lengthy correspondence with Beckett. Myron introduced Beckett to Lawrence Harvey who wrote SAMUEL BECKETT: POET AND CRITIC, focusing on Beckett's least known writings.

Folio. Condition: Fine. Arikha, Avigdor (illustrator). Limited First Edition. Number XIII of XV copies, folio size, [24] pp., with an extra suite of three etchings, all of which are signed by the artist, signed by Samuel Beckett on the limitation page. "The North" is a paragraph extracted from the short prose work "The Lost Ones" originally published as "Le Depeupleur" Paris: Les Editions de Minuit, 1971, by Samuel Beckett (1906-1989). The story has no plot, but is rather a metaphorical exploration of the landscape of the unconscious mind, evoked through the image of a flattened cylinder and its crowded inhabitants. Avigdor Arikha (1929-2010) was a close friend of Samuel Beckett, who he met in Paris, where he settled after escaping a Nazi concentration camp. He is regarded among Israel's greatest postwar artists, and was named a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in 2005. His images of "the woman vanquished" are chillingly somber, and darkly chaotic. A remarkable collaboration between two great artists of the twentieth-century. This is from a special edition of 15 copies which were produced primarily for the publisher Alan Clodd. These were not issued in a slipcase. ____DESCRIPTION: Original white paper portfolio with enclosing lower flap, title in blind to the upper cover, loose folios as issued, three signed etchings with tissue guards, together with an extra suite of those same etchings from the text, signed, hand-set Palatino type, printed by Will and Sebastian Carter at the Rampant Lions Press on J. Barcham Green paper, 15" by 11 5/8", [24] pp., limited first edition, number XIII of XV copies, signed by the author and the artist. ___CONDITION: A fine copy, internally bright and complete, covers are clean and bright, internally free of prior owner markings; crisp and as new, a heartbreakingly lovely work. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please contact us for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
