Price: US$400.00 + shipping

Description: 10mo., 171 pages. In Good minus condition. Bound in yellow, black, and gray wraps with no lettering to spine. Creasing to spine. A notoriously delicate binding, this copy has glue visible along the gutters, gatherings separated from spine at second free end paper, name on second free end paper, pen on rear flap. States 'First and Original Edition' on title-page. Shelved in Case 2. A novella covering Miller's time living as a struggling writer in Paris during the 1930s, roughly during the same time that he was working on Black Spring. This first edition was published by Olympia Press in 1956 while Miller's work was still being censored in the United States. It would finally see an American release in 1965, after Miller won his obscenity case over the content of Tropic of Cancer. This 1956 edition features black and white photography by Hungarian-born photographer Brassaï (Gyula Halász), who Miller had elsewhere called "the eye of Paris." 1326658. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.

Condition: Very Good

Description: 1 Blatt, 171 Seiten, 2 Blatt. Octavo (17 x 10,5 cm). O'Roark Coll. A 181; Shifreen & Jackson , A100a.; Kearney 20.; Erste Ausgabe des 1940 in New York in erster Fassung beendeten, dann nochmals in Big Sur, Kalifornien 1956 überarbeiteten und hier nun erstmals gedruckten, freizügigen Romans. Das Buch belegt exemplarisch die einander ergänzende Zusammenarbeit von Literat und Fotograf bei der Beschreibung der Pariser Boheme, deren Mitglieder ja meist, wie Miller und Brassai auch, von außerhalb kamen. Außerdem war das Buch einer der Meilensteine bei der Aufweichung der Zensur erotischer Literatur, nicht nur in Europa. In den USA konnte es erst 1965 erscheinen, in Deutschland kam es 1968 heraus. Der Titel wurde für erotische, umstrittene und indizierte Literatur in Deutschland so sprichwörtlich, daß Robert Neumann seine Parodie "Stille Tage in Klischee" nennen konnte. Eine der Töchter von Tajiri hat bestätigt, daß ihr Vater den Umschlag entworfen hat und es sich beim "T." für den Vornamen um einen Druckfehler handelt. Dezenter handschriftlicher Namenseintrag auf Vortitel und Titelblatt. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1200 Schmucklose Original-Broschur mit farbig illustriertem Original-Umschlag von T. (recte: Shinkichi) Tajiri.
