Tales Told of Shem and Shaun by James Joyce (24 results)

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Lange vor der Veröffentlichung von »Finnegans Wake« (1939) wurden bereits einige Teile daraus separat in Buchform veröffentlicht - darunter nicht nur das berühmte Kapitel »Anna Livia Plurabelle« (1928), sondern auch »Tales Told of Shem and Shaun« (1929).Der Keim der Entstehung dieser drei Geschichten liegt in einer Fehde zwischen den Schriftstellern James Joyce und Wyndham Lewis, die sich bei gemeinsamen Zechtouren durch Paris kennengelernt hatten. Joyce beantwortet eine heftige Attacke Lewis' auf den »Ulysses« (»ein Monument wie ein Rekorddurchfall«) und auf das entstehende »Finnegans Wake« (»Kinderspielchen à la Gertrude Stein«).Es gibt in »Finnegans Wake« bekanntlich keinen 'eigentlich gemeinten' Sinn, sondern ein Geflecht aus vielen fragmentarischen Sinnebenen, die sich gegenseitig ergänzen, durchdringen und auch aufheben; eben dies ist die besondere Qualität des Buches. Ziel des Übersetzers Friedhelm Rathjen war es, so viele der im Original vorhandenen Bedeutungen wie irgend möglich wiederzugeben, und zwar in eben der Abfolge und Verschränkung, in der sie im Original erschienen: »'Finnegans Wake' ist ein kühnes Buch für kühne Leser, und das Amt des Übersetzers kann es nur sein, dafür zu sorgen, daß beide zusammenfinden.« 100 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.

SCARCE FIRST EDITION LIMITED OF THE SECOND SEPARATELY PRINTED PORTION OF FRAGMENTS OF "A WORK IN PROGRESS", AND WHAT WOULD ULTIMATELY BECOME FINNEGANS WAKE. FINNEGANS WAKE is perhaps the most ambitiously conceived novel of all time and is the pinnacle of the Modernist movement in literature. Joyce began working on FINNEGANS WAKE shortly after the 1922 publication of Ulysses. By 1924 installments of Joyce's new avant-garde work began to appear, in serialized form, in Parisian literary journals Transatlantic Review and transition, under the title "fragments from Work in Progress". The actual title of the work remained a secret until the book was published in its entirety, on 4 May 1939.

From the edition limited to 650 copies, with this nominatif copy conforming to the edition de tête of 50 hors commerce on Japanese Vellum signed by Joyce in black ink to the half-title; this copy was printed for Harry F. Marks: 'This copy is for / Harry F. Marks' (see the justification). 'The entire edition is for sale at the / Bookshop of Harry F. Marks / 31 West 47 Street New York'. (From the justification). Printed in Paris by Harry and Caresse Crosby's Black Sun Press and with an introduction by C. K. Ogden, 'Tales Told of Shem and Shaun' was offered for sale in New York at the 'Bookshop of Harry F. Marks, 31 West 47 Street New York'. This was the second separately published fragment of Joyce's fabled 'Work in Progress' (after 'Anna Livia Plurabelle' in 1928), although sections had been printed in periodicals as early as 1924, a work which would eventually coalesce - on May 4th, 1939 after 17 years of work - into Finnegans Wake. Picasso had been the first choice to provide a frontispiece but refused on the grounds that he did not produce portraits 'sur commande' and Joyce suggested Constantin Brancusi as an alternative. Brancusi's final 'portrait', the abstract 'Symbol of James Joyce' prompted Joyce's father to remark on seeing it: 'the boy seems to have changed a good deal'. 'A portrait as abstract as the author's text . '. (The Artist and the Book). [The Artist and the Book 32; Slocum & Cahoon A36; see Joyce by Richard Ellmann, pg. 614].

Signed on the half title by James Joyce in black ink and illustrated with Constantin Brancusi's etching Symbole de Joyce, intended by the artist to capture Joyce's "sens du pousser" and described as "a portrait as abstract as the author's text". With a preface by C.K.Ogden who, in the same year as the publication of Shem and Shaun, arranged a recording of Joyce reading from Anna Livia Plurabelle, the first published section of Work in Progress. In an interview of 1936, Joyce said "I haven't lived a normal life since 1922, when I began Work in Progress. It requires an enormous amount of concentration.Since 1922 my book has become more real to me than reality, and everything has led to it". "My book" is Finnegans Wake to which, during its seventeen year gestation, Joyce gave the name Work in Progress. In the late 1920s, Joyce published three sections of Work in Progress: Tales Told of Shem and Shaun is the second. Reviews concentrated on the Joyce's verbal brilliance while noting its limited appeal. To H.G.Wells, Work in Progress was "an extraordinary experiment" but also "a dead end". Joyce was undeterred. In 1937, two years before the publication of Finnegans Wake, Joyce said of "the few fragments which I have published" that they "have been enough to convince many critics that I have finally lost my mind.And perhaps it is madness to grind up words in order to extract their substance, or to graft them one onto another, to create crossbreeds and unknown variants, to open up unsuspected possibilities for these words, to marry sounds which were not usually joined together before, although they were meant for one another, to allow water to speak like water, birds to chirp in the words of birds, to liberate all sounds of rustling, breaking, arguing, shouting, cracking, whistling, creaking, gurgling - from their servile, contemptible role and to attach them to the feelers of expressions which grope for definitions of the undefined".

Slocum and Cahoon A36. One of 100 signed copies on Japanese vellum, this being no. 79. The second separately printed portion of fragments of "a work in progress," which would ultimately become Finnegans Wake. Engraved portrait of Joyce by Constantin Brancusi. Although identified in the colophon as a portrait, this appears as a spiral design. According to the Morgan Library, "Brancusi later explained the cryptic image to the painter Jacques Herold, noting, 'Joyce is like that: he departs from one point, and you'll never meet him again.'" Glassine wrapper is torn at the spine, slipcase toned, else very good.
