Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 446 pages. Published in 1982. Landmark retrospective collection of the author's work. Now considered a late-modern classic. Limited Slipcased Edition of 350 numbered and signed copies. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the regular trade edition (which has the same ISBN). The Limited Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by FSG: Regular-sized volume format. Blue linen cloth boards with gilt titles embossed on the spine, as issued. Text by Susan Sontag. Introduction by Elizabeth Hardwick. Cream ribbed-paper and cloth slipcase. In publisher's original shrinkwrap. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its collectible format, "A Susan Sontag Reader". The indispensable retrospective of the author's finest and most representative work in mid-career. Includes selections from her novels and previous collections of essays as well as two, previously unpublished pieces in book form: The controversial Salmagundi Interview and the obituary-essay, "Writing Itself: On Roland Barthes". There is no American writer-intellectual of the last fifty years of the 20th century who wrote about the fundamental - and urgent - issues she raised with the same ardor, commitment, and intelligence. "The inner life tends to mistrust the new. A strongly developed inner life will be particularly resistant to the new. We are told we must choose, the old or the new. In fact, we must choose both. What is life if not a series of negotiations between the old and the new? We cannot do without the old, because in what is old is invested all our past, our wisdom, our memories, our sadness, our sense of realism. We cannot do without faith in the new, because in what is new is invested all our energy, our capacity for optimism, our blind biological yearnings, our ability to forget, the healing ability that makes reconciliation possible" (Susan Sontag). An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Sontag collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition, indicated/numbered as such on the Front Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen by Susan Sontag. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online, is still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant, the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1977 for "On Photography", the National Book Award in 2000 for "In America", and the Jerusalem Prize in 2001. Shimon Peres, in awarding the Jerusalem Prize, described Sontag as "one of the world's finest writers and greatest minds". One of the most influential and important American writer-intellectuals of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SUSAN SONTAG TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0374272166.
