Beschreibung

Book. 350 x 350 mm, 238 pp., invisible binding in folded, printed wraps - colour illustrations throughout. A comprehensive survey of the assembling magazine Leopold Bloom - with a specially designed red, black and white cover by Ákos Székely that makes use of the work of the Hungarian artist and writer Géza Perneczky. Preface text and image captions come with English translations (by Juli Székely), and the useful appendix at the back provides a front cover image for each issue, together with a list of contributors and contents. Contributions / illustrations / performances by: Vittore Baroni; Julien Blaine; Eva Bortnyik; Imre Bukta; Antonio Gomez; Galantai Gyorgy; Istvan Kovacs; Katalin Ladik; Dora Maurer; Ben Patterson; Stephen Perkins; Geza Perneczky; Balint Szombathy; and Gabor Toth, et al. Widely regarded as the most significant Eastern European assembling magazine of the 1990s to the mid 2000s, the 'Leopold Bloom' journal was produced according to a strict A5 format, with 75 contributions per issue, structured around a particular buzzword. It owes its name to the protagonist of James Joyce's modernist epic Ulysses, whose father and grandfather hailed from Szombathely, a small town outside of Budapest. This survey also provides photo documentation of the various 'Bloomsdays' to have been enacted in Szombathely between 1996 - 2009. Like the famous 'Bloomsday' in Dublin, whereby the same streets are traced, and pubs frequented, as in the novel (on the very same day it is set - 16th June), the 'Bloomsday' of Szombathely similarly commemorates the life and work of James Joyce by visiting the scenes featured in the book. There are also recordings and documentation of events, seminars and artistic performances celebrating the modernist. Condition: fine. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001086
