Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Signed by author in black fountain ink on pictorial, laid-in (not affixed) bookplate. (Author famously does not sign the books themselves.) After four novels and several years living abroad, the fictional protagonist of GALATEA 2.2 ? Richard Powers ? returns to the United States as Humanist-in-Residence at the enormous Center for the Study of Advanced Sciences. There he runs afoul of Philip Lentz, an outspoken cognitive neurologist intent upon modeling the human brain by means of computer-based neural networks. Lentz involves Powers in an outlandish and irresistible project: to train a neural net on a canonical list of Great Books. Through repeated tutorials, the device grows gradually more worldly, until it demands to know its own name, sex, race, and reason for exisiting. Richard Powers other novels include THREE FARMERS ON THEIR WAY TO A DANCE, PRISONER'S DILEMMA, THE GOLD BUG VARIATIONS, PLOWING THE DARK, OPERATION WANDERING SOUL (a nominated finalist for the 1993 National Book Award for Fiction) and ORFEO, his latest. GALATEA 2.2 was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle award. His novel, THE ECHO MAKER, won the 2006 National Book Award for Fiction and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.Power's most recent previous novel, THE OVERSTORY, is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Author's scarce second novel, an allegorical adult fantasy. Martin Browning goes in search of his missing wife in a wild quest that takes him to South America and beyond. Kirkus Reviews in a prescient book review in March 1979 remarked that "Pullman is not without ideas or talent; both shine often enough through this grandiose muddle to make one wonder what he'll do next." Well, we all know what he did do next. His Dark Materials trilogy (1995-2000), now ranks him alongside J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis as one of the greatest children's and fantasy writers of all time. signed.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Linda Garland (illustrator). First Edition. A very fine signed first edition of Philip Pullmans rare second novel - writing with great visual imagination around the quotation 'Everything is what it seems' when in reality it is not.

Whilst Pullman has won the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children's F iction Award, the Smarties Prize and Children's Book of the Year at the British Book Awards it was only the final instalment of the His Dark Materials trilogy (which went on to win the prestigious Whitbred Prize, being the first Children's book ever to do so) that seems to have garnered Pullman the popular acclaim he undoubtedly deserves. genuine signature - can send photo of signing.

Original copperplate engraving on a verge type hand laid paper. Sheet has image and text on front and rear. on paper. Size in cm: The overall size is ca. 24 x 41 cm. The image size is ca. 16.5 x 10.5 cm. Size in inch: The overall size is ca. 9.4 x 16.1 inch. The image size is ca. 6.5 x 4.1 inch.Proverb / ethics emblem : 'Galathea ofte Harders-Klachte aen de Eerbare, Seden-rijcke, Segen-rijcke Jonck-vrou Catharina van Muylwyck'. (Galatea or the shepherd's lament, to the honourable, morally high, blessed noble woman Catharina van Muylwyck .) This plate shows a stately house / mansion with garden. This old antique engraved copperplate print and accompanying poetry originate from 'Alle de Wercken van den heere Jacob Cats.', (Complete Works of Jacob Cats) which was published from 1655 on. This plate is from a 1726 edition. The emblems depict lessons of many aspects of life. Each emblem typically has more than one meaning as Cats' poems talk about ethics, wisdom and morale from the perspective of love, religion and society. His work has often been critisized, but contains a treasure of truth and symbolism, often as relevant as it was during the times of it's creation. We might carry this item from a smaller size edition and a 19th c. ed. with steel engravings as well. Inquire if interested.Artists and Engravers: The Author is Jacob Cats, also known as Father Cats (born Nov. 10, 1577, Brouwershaven, Zeeland, Spanish Netherlands - died Sept. 12, 1660, Zorgvliet, near The Hague) Dutch poet. A magistrate and high official, he was enormously popular as a writer of emblem books, consisting of woodcuts or engravings with verses possessing a moral. His Mirror of Old and New Times (1632) contains many quotations that have become household sayings in the Netherlands, and he used it to express the ethical concerns of Dutch Calvinists, especially about love and marriage. The famous poetry by Jacob Cats is often accompanied by well engraved images after the design of Adriaen van de Venne. Not all engravings have been signed, but engravers indicated include J. Swelinc, I. Matham, Wil. Hondius, C. v. Quiborne, D. v. Bremden & possibly others.Condition: Fine. General age related toning. Occasional light staining.

Condition: as new. Met een essay van Rudi Kousbroek : De Galatea's van Carla van de Puttelaar = The Galateas of Carla van de Puttelaar. Amsterdam : Basalt Publishers & Van Zoetendaal Collections, 2004. Hardcover. 79 pp. 29x20 cm. Ills. Text in Dutch & English. Signed by Carla van de Puttelaar. - In dit fotoboek presenteert Carla van de Puttelaar een reeks verfijnde naaktportretten van vrouwen, die zij aanduidt als haar 'Galatea's' - een directe verwijzing naar de mythe van de beeldhouwer Pygmalion, die verliefd wordt op het door hemzelf geschapen beeld Galatea, dat tot leven komt. Rudy Kousbroek's essay verkent dit spanningsveld tussen lichamelijkheid en kunstideaal. Hij verbindt de foto's met de klassieke traditie, filosofische ideeën over het beeld en het vrouwelijke lichaam, en stelt vragen over leven, verbeelding en verleiding. De foto's tonen vrouwenlichamen in fragiele, bijna schilderachtige poses. De huid is bleek, kwetsbaar, vaak gemarkeerd door roodheid, afdrukken of schaduw - sporen van aanraking, tijd en lichaam. Het licht is zacht en natuurlijk, maar tegelijkertijd onverbiddelijk, en legt elke porie, rib, venusheuvel en vouw vast zonder te idealiseren. Dit boek geldt als een van de meest intieme en doordachte bijdragen aan de Nederlandse kunstfotografie van begin 21e eeuw. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9789075574234. Keywords : PHOTOGRAPHY,

First UK edition, signed and dated by the author on the title page. Galatea, a fantasy for adults, is Pullman's second novel, an allegorical fable about a man in search of his missing wife. After this work he moved his attention to writing for a younger audience, with his first children's book, Count Karlstein, published in 1982. Pullman began writing his famed His Dark Materials series in 1993. Octavo. Original dark green boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Dust jacket unclipped, a little rubbed, spine faded to yellow as often, minor creasing to head and foot: a fine copy in a very good jacket.

Condition: Good+. Uncorrected Proof. Privately-printed uncorrected proof of the first edition of W.S. Gilbert's blank verse play. Presentation copy inscribed by the author to the Bishop of Limerick (then George Butler) on the front cover "With the author's compliments." Additionally inscribed by Gilbert on the title page "(Uncorrected proof)" and with authorial corrections to the text on pages 23 - 24. 40 pp., interleaved with blank sheets. Bound in publisher's printed wraps. Good+ with moderate wear, toning, and soiling to covers. Spine reinforced with rice paper, repaired tear to front cover, dampstain to covers at head of spine. Light toning and scattered foxing to contents, first 16 pages detached. Housed in a quarter morocco custom chemise slipcase, raised bands and gilt lettering to spine, extremities rubbed, lacking ribbon pull. W. S. Gilbert's romantic comedy Pygmalion and Galatea, based on Ovid's tale of a sculptor who falls in love with the statue he has created, opened at the Haymarket Theatre in London in December 1871. It was a popular and critical success and ended up netting Gilbert around 40,000 pounds, an enormous sum at the time. By Jane Stedman's count, the happy playwright distributed just eighteen of these privately printed scripts, sending them to members of the Haymarket company and to his personal friends. One of them unfortunately fell into the hands of the press, and an implied insult to the actors of a previous play brought on a libel suit, which was ultimately dropped. A fragile survival, especially scarce signed; six OCLC listings found in a recent search.
