Beschreibung

GOREY, Edward [30] pp. Doubleday & Company, Inc 1958 First Edition 6 1/4" x 8 3/4" The Object-Lesson (1958) is a picture book by Edward Gorey.[1] A work of surrealist art and literature, it is typical of Gorey's avant-garde style of storytelling, with Victorian and Edwardian-esque line drawings and settings, each described with a sentence fragment which adds to a larger continuous narrative. The pictures and text combine to tell a strange and obscure story. Although internally consistent, coherent, and structured, the story has a disjointed and disorienting quality, with melancholic and morbidly humorous effects.
