Durrell, Lawrence. Black Book: An Agnon.. The Obelisk Press, Paris, 1938.
Price: US$1750.00 + shipping
Description: First edition, first issue of the first volume in the Villa Seurat Series. Octavo, original wrappers. In near fine condition. A very sharp example, uncommon in this condition. In August 1937, Lawrence and Nancy travelled to the Villa Seurat in Paris to meet Henry Miller and Anaà s Nin. Together with Alfred Perles, Nin, Miller, and Durrell "began a collaboration aimed at founding their own literary movement. Their projects included The Shame of the Morning and the Booster, a country club house organ that the Villa Seurat group appropriated for their own artistic . . . ends." They also started the Villa Seurat Series in order to publish Durrell's Black Book, Miller's Max and the White Phagocytes, and Nin's Winter of Artifice. Jack Kahane of the Obelisk Press served as publisher. "This is a wild, passionate, brilliantly gaudy and flamboyant extravaganza; it is intrinsically and essentially, the book of a young man â" Durrell was 24 when he wrote it â" richly obscene, energetically morbid, very often very funny indeed, self-pitying, but, above all, stylistically and verbally inventive as no other young man's novel of the period was even attempting to be" (Philip Toynbee, The Observer).

Price: US$1924.01 + shipping
Description: First edition, first impression, presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Audrey Beecham, with greetings from the red blood corpuscules. Henry Miller, Paris, 4/11/39". Beecham was a "poet and eccentric" (ODNB), and descendent of Thomas Beecham, founder of the eponymous pharmaceuticals empire. Miller published several of her poems while editor at Delta magazine. She once took an extended holiday from her Oxford studies to run guns for the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War. When she left Oxford with a second-class degree in 1937, she moved to Paris, where she befriended Miller, Anais Nin, and Lawrence Durrell. In the 1940s she spent much of her time in London, where she garnered a serious poetic reputation, and befriended Joe Ackerley and Dylan Thomas: "she prided herself on her mastery of martial arts and on her claim to have knocked out Dylan Thomas cold when he made unwelcome advances to her" (ibid.) To the surprise of her contemporaries, she applied for and was appointed the warden of Nightingale Hall, the women's residence at the University of Nottingham, in 1950. Lord David Cecil remarked on her unexpected appointment, "There's no martinet like a reformed rake" (ibid.) This is the second work in Miller's Villa Seurat series. It collects 12 essays and short stories, including six previously unpublished works. Pearson A57a; Porter, p. 11. Octavo. Original tan wrappers with flaps, spine lettered in black with imprint in green, front cover lettered in black on green ground, edges untrimmed. Housed in a custom blue cloth flat-backed box. Toned and rubbed, front joint split at ends but firm, rear wrapper soiled, a few nicks and creases to edges. A very good copy.
