Joyce, James. Dubliners.. Grant Richards, London, 1914.

Price: US$20000.00 + shipping

Description: Rare first edition of Joyce’s first prose work, his great collection of short stories, one of approximately 746 copies bound in the publisher's maroon cloth. Octavo, original red cloth. In very good condition, with the spine gilt fresh, bookplate to the front pastedown. Housed in a custom half morocco and chemise clamshell box. An exceptional example. James Joyce’s Dubliners is a vivid and unflinching portrait of “dear dirty Dublin” at the turn of the twentieth century. These fifteen stories, including such unforgettable ones as “Araby,” “Grace,” and “The Dead,” delve into the heart of the city of Joyce’s birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners’ speech and portraying with an almost brute realism their outer and inner lives. Dubliners is Joyce at his most accessible and most profound. Few texts have traveled such a rocky road to publication. Dubliners was first accepted by the publisher Grant Richards in February 1906, but the printer objected to certain passages and refused to do the job, as under English law "the printer of objectionable material is as guilty of breaking the law as the publisher, and equally subject to criminal prosecution" (Ellmann, 220). In 1910 Maunsel and Co. agreed to publish the book; again certain passages were found objectionable and Joyce made alterations. This time the firm of John Falconer printed 1000 copies but then, with the exception of the page proofs, promptly burned the entire edition. In 1913 Joyce again offered the book to Elkin Mathews who again turned it down. Finally Grant Richards decided to accept the book a second time, with a contract stipulating no royalties on the first 500 copies and a guarantee by Joyce to buy 120 copies himself. Only 1250 sets of sheets were printed for the first edition and 504 of those sets were sold to the New York publisher B.W. Huebsch for the first American edition. "It has also been reported that in 1915 Grant Richards sold without Joyce's knowledge 500 sets of [the original 1250] Dubliners sheets to Albert and Charles Boni of New York… A new title page was prepared for the New York imprint, and 499 copies were shipped to New York on the S.S. Arabic which was torpedoed in August 1915. All copies were lost except one which Albert Boni kept in his personal possession" (Slocum & Cahoon A8).

JOYCE, James.. Dubliners.. London. Grant Richards. 1914., 1914.

Price: US$20715.20 + shipping

Description: London. Grant Richards. 1914. 4°. 95 (4) Seiten + Bildtafeln. Dunkelroter Originalleinenband mit vergoldeten Titeln. Publisher's cloth in dark reds with gilt Lettering. Erste Ausgabe, sehr selten. – Eins von 746 Exemplaren. Es wurden 1.250 Exemplare gedruckt, die Restauflage allerdings zwei Jahre später mit neuem Titelblatt als amerikanische Ausgabe verkauft. – Das erste Prosawerk von Joyce, eine Sammlung von fünfzehn Erzählungen aus den Jahren1904 bis 1912, wurde von vierzig Verlegern abgelehnt, bevor sich Richards entschied, den Text – in »zögerlicher« Auflage – zu drucken. – »Das Werk ist das erste literarische Zeugnis der Haßliebe, mit der Joyce dieser Stadt zugetan war. [ ] Über ihren eigenen literarischen Wert hinaus deuten alle in dem Band ›Dubliners‹ versammelten Erzählungen voraus auf Sprache, Charakter und Schauplatz der drei großen Romane des Verfassers. Die Technik der ›erlebten Rede‹ in den ‹Dubliners‹ (und in ›A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man‹) fortentwickelnd, konzipierte Joyce später die Form des ›inneren Monologs‹ im ›Ulysses‹.« (KNLL). Einige Personen aus »Dubliners« finden sich später im »Ulysses« wieder; Joyce verzichtete 1914 auf eine Erzählung über den Tagesablauf von Mr. Leopold Bloom, um diese zu seinem bedeutendsten Roman auszubauen. First edition of Joyce’s first work in prose. – One of only 746 copies sold with the London imprint. All other copies of the first printing are sold 1916 as First American edition. – Original dark red full cloth. Spine lightly browned. – 5 sheets with small and repaired tears. 19,5 : 13,3 cm. 278, [2] Seiten. – Innendeckel mit altem, schönen Exlibris. – Die letzten 5 Blätter mit kurzen (minimalen), professionell restaurierten, kaum sichtbaren Einrissen im Fußsteg. Insgesamt sehr guter Zustand. Slocum-Cahoon A8. – KNLL VIII, 907 Very good plus / near fine copy. Sprache: Englisch. *** Bitte kontaktieren Sie mich immer BEVOR Sie bestellen!
