Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Second Edition. First impression of the first thus UK edition, Proust published along with Three Dialogues. In the second-state dustwrapper. A republication of Beckett's 1931 essay on the work of Marcel Proust, together with three dialogues with Georges Duthuit on Modern Art, transcribed from memory in 1949. "Proust" was originally published on its own in the UK by Chatto and Windus in 1931. ***Near fine in burgundy cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright. Boards clean and unmarked. No creases or bumps. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. No foxing. Slight offsetting to the pastedowns. Spine tight. Printed in the Republic of Ireland by Hely Thom Limited, Dublin. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated second-state dustwrapper, that has not been price-clipped, with an original publisher's price sticker of £2.00 overlaying the printed price. The spine of this second-state dustwrapper is white [the first-state dustwrapper has an orange spine]. Early SBN number to bottom of dustwrapper flap: 71450033x [the first-state dustwrapper does not have an SBN number]. Bottom of spine of dustwrapper states Calder Boyars [the first-state dustwrapper states Calder]. The rear panel of the second-state dustwrapper has a shorter, different blurb, to that of the first-state - complete with some reviews [Please see scans]. Dustwrapper slightly rubbed at extremities. Rear panel of dustwrapper slightly discoloured and rubbed (being a white background). Front panel of dustwrapper bright. ***212 mm x 138 mm. 113 pages. ***'This is a brilliant critical study of Proust, the first great European novelist of the century, and it is fitting that he should be put under the microscopic eye of Samuel Beckett, probably the outstanding writer of the present time. The dialogues with Georges Duthuit, former editor or the experimental review Transition, deal with three painters, Tal Coat, André Masson and Bram Van Vele. although each dialogue starts from a consideration of the style and intentions of the painter under discussion, their implications are much wider and deal ultimately wit the purpose and the nature of art.' ***A brilliant, at times moving account of the impact of a philosophical novelist on a philosophical poet.' Sunday Times. (Quote and review quote from rear of dustwrapper blurb).***First impression of the first thus UK edition, complete in its original second-state dustwrapper, with different jacket blurb and review quotes on the rear panel compared with the first state dustwrapper, in very nice collectable condition. First impressions of the first UK edition titles in both first and second-state dustwrappers are very hard to find now, this copy being in the second-state dustwrapper. In collector's condition. Of interest to collectors of 20th Century literary first editions and especially the work of Samuel Beckett. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 4521x
