Description:
London: Verso, 1994. first edition. hardcover. Book NF: clean, square, tight, unmarked./DJ VG+: clean, not clipped.. 8vo 211pp. from front flap: "'Surrealism', wrote Georges Bataille in 1945, 'has from the start given consistency to a "morality of revolt" and its most important contribution-- important perhaps even in the political realm-- is to have remained, in matters of morality, a revolution.' For Bataille, 'the absence of myth' had itself become the myth of the modern age. In a world that had 'lost the secret of its cohesion', Bataille saw surrealism as both a symptom and the beginning of an attempt to address this loss. His writings on this theme--which he had hoped to assemble into a book and which are published here for the first time--mostly date from the immediate postwar period, and are the result of profound reflection in the wake of World War Two." #02382.

New York: The Literary Guild, 1930. hardcover. Book VG: spine sunned, shelf wear, text clean, binding tight./no DJ. 8vo 364pp. from Preface: "The family whose story is told in this volume (and with which I am in no way connected) is the most distinguished in the United States. Suddenly passing from village obscurity into international fame in the latter part of the eighteenth century, it has ever since maintained a preeminent position, due neither to great wealth nor to a hereditary title, but to character and sheer intellectual ability. It is this, in part, which gives it a unique interest, although the life of efach of its members here chronicled ahs an interest also of its own. The volume, however, is not intended to be merely a series of biographies. It is essentially a biography of a family, thrown against the changing background of its times for a hundred and fifty years." #01692.

His is a life of high adventure, of romance and intrigue, and Waltari recounts it with the art of a master storyteller. The Adventurer is another masterpiece by a great creative historian." #01236.
