It relates in naturalistic style the overt sexual relationship between a mature black man (Amaro, or-Bom-Crioulo) and a boy of 15 (Aleixo) ? a relationship which develops during their service together in the Brazilian Navy of the late 19th century. XX "BOM-CRIOULO remains a truly revolutionary work: revolutionary in its denunciation of slavery, sadism, cruelty and man's exploitation of man; revolutionary in its revelation of society's complicity, its conspiracy of silence regarding all these abuses; revolutionary in its startling attitudes toward?homosexuality, towards race, towards interracial and interage contacts. Its message echoes beyond our time" [E. A. Lacey (translator). XX "Now [Bom-Crioulo] understood clearly that only with a man, with a man like himself, could he find what in vain he had looked for among women. Aleixo had very clear, speckled, light-blue eyes, and thick, extremely red lips. Only one thing vexed him ? the black man's sexual whims. Because Bom-Crioulo was not satisfied merely with possessing him sexually night and day. He wanted much more . ".

Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in San Francisco, California to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its collectible format, Luis Cernuda's "The Young Sailor And Other Poems". The great, still largely unrecognized by the English-speaking literary world, Spanish poet, in eleven discrete sequences that do justice to his exquisite, erotic, and elusive poems. "In these memories and landscapes, in these notes toward the history of his sensibility, there is great objectivity; the poet doesn't set out to fantasize, or to lie to himself, or to anyone else. He attempts only to illuminate, with an almost impersonal light, something very personal: A few moments in his life. But is it truly ours, this life we must live?" (Octavio Paz). Luis Cernuda will be regarded by posterity as THE leading poet of Spain's so-called "Generation of 1927", whose most famous figure is Federico Garcia Lorca. Rafael Alberti and Jorge Guillen complete the literary quartet. Unlike his contemporaries, Cernuda was restlessly peripatetic, living in the United Kingdom, moving to the United States, then finally settling down in Mexico. Upon leaving Spain, he never returned even if Mother Country - as well as her beautiful young men and the whole of Western Classical civilization - remained his lifelong, central poetic concerns. "What remains of love's happy times and pains when it disappears? / Nothing, or worse than nothing; / what remains is the memory of something forgotten" (Luis Cernuda). An absolute "must-have" title for Luis Cernuda collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Hardcover Edition of about 100 copies.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 120 pages. Published in 1981. Retrospective collection of the author's poetry. One of the most beautiful books on the poetic art and achievement of Jean Genet ever published in the 20th century. Limited Edition of 100 numbered copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition, which is a paperback original only. Published as a hardcover original only. There is NO equivalent volume in French. The Limited Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Bill Sullivan: Regular-sized volume format. Gold cloth boards with red titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Poems by Jean Genet. They are presented on the left-hand side with the English translations by Steven Finch en face. Original art by Bill Sullivan. Printed on thick, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The production values are outstanding in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its Limited Edition format, "Treasures of The Night: The Collected Poems of Jean Genet". A labor of love that celebrates erotic desire and love, its pathos, its pain, and its compensatory pleasures. Gathers six sequences published individually by Genet: "The Man Sentenced To Death", "Funeral March", "The Galley", "The Parade", "A Song of Love", and "The Fisherman of The Suquet". The last two sequences are both tenderly dedicated to Genet's heterosexual and "very much married with children" lover, Lucien Senemaud, an unbearably handsome Frenchman, who appears - "acts" would be an exaggeration, and would have been superfluous - in Genet's feverish and only film, "Un Chant d'Amour" (1946, banned in France and released only recently in various DVD editions). Rainer Werner Fassbinder paid homage to the iconic Lucien Senemaud by casting Brad Davis, his lookalike, more or less, as "Querelle". The title itself comes from the final sequence, "The Fisherman of The Suquet". Genet's greatest champion has given his blessing to this lovely book, and is gratefully quoted by Steven Finch in his Preface: "I have said that true poetry is untranslatable. But note how close these lines are to his prose. They must be translated since they ask to be understood" (Jean-Paul Sartre). "Ask to be understood" is surely THE fundamental reason for the indispensable art of translation, whether of prose or poetry. An absolute "must-have" title for Jean Genet collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 100 numbered copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: ALL other copies available online have serious flaws and are the regular trade paperback edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A very rare copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JEAN GENET TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0917342755. no.
