Beschreibung

A rare example of the 2nd issue from volume 2 of Paris based, English-language literary quarterly Merlin, featuring an excerpt of Samuel Beckett's Molloy, and translations of two poems by Nazim Hikmet - spelled Hickmet in the journal. This issue having been published in 1953, it predates the first full collection of Hikmet's to appear in English by 14 years, and it is possible that the poems here were the earliest available English translations of Hikmet's writing. 6.25" x 9.5" softcover book in blue paper wraps. 132pp. with black and white illustrations. Book somewhat frail, with extensive chipping to front cover and spine and some toning to covers due to their previous storage in a tobacco smoker's home. Faint aroma of smoke to inside. Pages are however clean and unmarked, binding still very sound. Attractive. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1692826136139
