From the DJ: "From her start as a member of a nomadic Italian repertory company to the peak of her career as the toast of London, Paris, New York, and Moscow when she alone was recognized as a rival of Sara Bernhardt, The Duse consecrated herself to the theatre. Through it she found outlet for the inner mysticism and fire and through it she found the life that eluded her off-stage. Second only to the theatre as a directing influence was her passionate love for Gabriele d'Annunzio...who cast a lifelong spell over The Duse, spurring her to supreme self-immolation and acting heights in the effort to breathe life into his slow-moving and frequently lifeless plays. Shipping weight 2 lbs.. First Edition. . VG+/VG. 22 X 15 cm.

Terms of Sale
Twin City Antiquarian Books
Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
