Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 191 pages with photographs in black and white and in color. Folio (12 1/4" x 10 1/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover in original pictorial jacket. Photographs by Peter Christopher. First edition. Spain, more than any other European country, is an extraordinary synthesis of past and present. History is reflected in every sphere of her life and culture, while her landscape, in its many moods, seems to brood on a past by turns violent, ignominious, productive and glorious. Images of Spain portrays Spain in all her aspects. Eight essays define the essence of her history, landscape and culture, each exploring a different facet of the country : the exotic landscape in its amazing variety; the centuries-old architecture and art; the people, young and old, at work and at leisure; the cities, towns and farms; the churches, cathedrals and castles; and the gorgeous festivals and pageants. A hundred photographs, together with an evocative commentary, reveal a whole 'continent unto itself. The world-renowned novelist, Mordecai Richler, leads the reader on a personal tour of the Spain he encountered during his stay there in the 1950s and the Spain of his recent travels. Through anecdotes, interviews and vividly recalled scenes, he captures the paradox of a nation rich in a heritage of timeless traditions and violent upheavals. Peter Christopher's superb photographs, printed in full-color and duo-tone reproductions, are further enhanced and elucidated by excerpts from the many great writers throughout history who have been inspired by Spain and her people: from Cervantes to Lord Byron, from Ernest Hemingway to Gerald Brenan and Sacheverell Sitwell. Condition: Spine head bruised and bumped with split, previous owner's name on 1/2 title and notes on back end paper. Jacket spine head chipped, closed edge tears else a good to very good in a very good dust wrapper.

No detectable flaws to the extremities, contents equally without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked pages and firm, sound binding; near fine, and housed in near fine unclipped dustjacket bearing original price of $19.95. Near fine. Winner of the 1990 Commonwealth Writers Prize, shortlisted for the Booker Prize 1990. Since the age of 11, Moses Berger has been obsessed with the Gursky clan, an insanely wealthy, profoundly seductive family of Jewish-Canadian descent. Now a 52-year-old alcoholic biographer, Berger is desperately trying to chronicle the stories of their lives, especially that of the mysterious Solomon Gursky, who may or may not have died in a plane crash. A rich, irreverent, and exuberant comic masterpiece from the author of The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and St Urbain's Horseman.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine-. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine+. First UK Edition. First Impression of the Canadian author's first book. 8vo; 204pp. Publisher's green cloth, the spine stamped gilt; in a pictorial dust jacket priced 10s/6d.

Overall, a sharp copy of an elusive title (only 2000 copies were printed). "I am looking," [Richler] declared in one interview, "for the values with which in this time a man can live with honour." The Acrobats, which was [first] published in England, conveys such ideals: the protagonist, André Bennett, is a young Canadian painter who visits Spain in search of values by which he can live. The novel explores moral disillusionment, personal responsibility, and the need for ideals in a society whose fabric has been recently torn apart by political chaos."
