Every day from nine to five I sit at my desk facing the door of the office and type up other people's dreams.An office assistant in a hospital pursues a secret vocation.

'All the pieces presented here are revealing . . . It ought to round out one's knowledge of the writer, and, perhaps, offer some surprises. Luckily it does both.' Margaret Atwood, New York Times'A beautiful, delicate, commanding poet.' Lena Dunham'She embodied a seismic shift in consciousness which enabled us to feel and think as we do today, and of which she was a supremely vulnerable and willing casualty. She changed our world.' Margaret Drabble, Guardian Every day from nine to five I sit at my desk facing the door of the office and type up other people's dreams.An office assistant in a hospital pursues a secret vocation.

Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sylvia Plath commented in her journals: 'For me, writing verse is an evasion of the real job of writing'. From her mid-teens she wrote stories, at first easily and successfully, but then with increasing difficulty as the demands of her real vision complicated her growing ambition to make a career as a conventional story writer.When the first edition of Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams appeared, Margaret Walters said of it in the Guardian:'.the book does offer.new insight into her development as a writer,' suggesting how even her mistakes and dead ends contributed to the formation of an original and pathfinding talent.'This second edition contains the thirteen stories included in the first edition together with five of her more interesting pieces of journalism and a few fragments from her journal; and in Part IV, a further nine stories selected from the Indiana Archive. All items are given approximate dates of composition in so far as that is known. A collection that outlines the author's early preoccupation with issues of mental illness, creativity and femininity, all of which would become recurrent themes in her later work. It contains the thirteen stories together with five pieces of her journalism, as well as a further nine stories selected from the Indiana archive. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Leinen. Condition: gut. Lizenzausgabe. Illustrierter Ganzleineneinband mit Rücken- und Deckeltitel und farbigen Vorsätzen. Die Schnitte dezent berieben, eine Seite mit winzigem Randfleckchen, ansonsten guter Erhaltungszustand. " "Nichts fällt mir wohl schwerer im Leben, als zu akzeptieren, daß ich nicht auf irgendeine Weise "vollkommen bin", sondern auf verschiedenen Gebieten nur um Ausdruck ringe: im Leben (mit Menschen, und auf der Welt überhaupt) und im Schreiben." Die wahnsinnige Spannung und die latente Bedrohung, unter der das kurze Leben der Sylvia Plath, einer der wichtigsten Schriftstellerinnen dieses Jahrhunderts, stand, ist auch in ihrem erzählerischen Werk stets spürbar. Die Bibel der Träume enthält dreizehn Erzählungen aus den Jahren 1958 bis 1963 - Geschichten ihres kurzen Lebens." (Verlagstext) Sylvia Plath (* 27. Oktober 1932 in Jamaica Plain bei Boston, Massachusetts; gestorben [Freitod] 11. Februar 1963 in Primrose Hill, London) war eine US-amerikanische Schriftstellerin. Als Plaths Hauptwerk gilt ihre Lyrik, insbesondere der nachgelassene Lyrikband Ariel, sowie ihr einziger Roman Die Glasglocke. Daneben schrieb Plath Kurzgeschichten und Kinderbücher. Sylvia Plaths Literatur wird zumeist im Kontext ihrer Lebensgeschichte gewertet. Ihre Gedichte gelten als Confessional Poetry (Bekenntnislyrik), und auch in ihrer Prosa verarbeitete sie autobiografische Erlebnisse wie einen Suizidversuch oder die Beziehung zu ihrem Ehemann Ted Hughes. Erste Arbeiten veröffentlichte Plath bereits zu Lebzeiten, der literarische Erfolg setzte aber erst postum nach ihrem Suizid mit der Veröffentlichung nachgelassener Gedichte sowie der US-Publikation ihres Romans in den späten 60er und frühen 70er Jahren ein. Neben ihrem Werk wurde auch Plaths Leben und ihr früher Tod zum Gegenstand des öffentlichen Interesses. Plath wurde zu einer Symbolfigur der Frauenbewegung stilisiert und ihre Lebensgeschichte als Spiegelbild der Rolle der Frau in der Gesellschaft verstanden. Sowohl Sylvia Plaths literarischer Erfolg als auch der Mythos, der sie als Person umgab, setzten erst nach ihrem Tod und insbesondere nach der späten Publikation der Glasglocke 1971 in den Vereinigten Staaten ein. Der Roman hielt sich danach über ein Jahr auf den Bestsellerlisten des Landes. Die amerikanische Literaturkritikerin Marjorie Perloff stellte im Frühjahr 1973 fest: "Während des letzten Jahres wurde Sylvia Plath zu einer echten Kultfigur." Und sie urteilte: "Plaths wird nicht aufgrund eines bedeutenden ?uvre erinnert werden, sondern wegen einiger erstaunlicher und ausgezeichneter Gedichte, eines faszinierenden autobiographischen Romans und wegen des Beispielcharakters ihres Lebens mit seiner schrecklichen Spannung zwischen Erfolg und Leiden". Ihre Kollegin Ellen Moers hob Sylvia Plaths Bedeutung für die Frauenbewegung hervor, als sie 1977 würdigte, dass "keine andere Schriftstellerin für die gegenwärtige feministische Bewegung wichtiger war, obwohl Sylvia Plath kaum eine Feministin war und sie im Alter von dreißig Jahren starb, bevor die feministische Bewegung begann." (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 214, (2) pages. 8° (120 x 190mm).

First edition. 250pp. Original publisher's orange cloth boards lettered in silver, with the unclipped bright orange dustwrapper. Spine bumped with a few other marks to both boards and dustwrapper, internally bright. From the estate of Olwyn Hughes, recently dispersed, though no indications of such. The first edition of a posthumous collection of Sylvia Plath's (1932-1963) prose writing, as compiled by her estranged husband Ted Hughes some fourteen years after her death. Presented in three parts; thirteen completed short stories, 6 further stories, and four diary excerpts. Olwyn Hughes (1928-2016) was a translator, agent and literary executor who had worked in Paris for NATO, Martonplay, and King Peter II of Yugoslavia, among others. After the death of her sister-in-law Sylvia Plath, she returned to England to help her brother, Ted Hughes, raise his young children, eventually taking over the management of both his career and Plath's literary estate. While she did have some other clients as a literary agent, including Jean Rhys, much of the rest of her life was dedicated to preserving - and defending - both Plath and Hughes. Size: 8vo.
