Beschreibung

Smire An Acceptance in the Third Person; by Branch Cabell; Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc.; Garden City, New York, MCMXXXVII (1937) first edition. James Branch Cabell (1879 - 1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. Cabell's work was highly regarded by a number of his peers, including Mark Twain, Sinclair Lewis, H. L. Mencken, Joseph Hergesheimer, and Jack Woodford. His works were considered escapist and fit well in the culture of the 1920s, when they were most popular. Although Cabell's surname is often mispronounced "Ka-BELL", he himself pronounced it "CAB-ble." To remind an editor of the correct pronunciation, Cabell composed this rhyme: "Tell the rabble my name is Cabell." Cabell was also a major influence on Neil Gaiman, acknowledged as such in the rear of Gaiman's novels Stardust and American Gods. This thematic and stylistic influence is highly evident in the multi-layered pantheons of Gaiman's work, The Sandman, which have many parallels in Cabell's work, particularly Jurgen. This book, 311 pages, is in near fine condition, the black binding with silver lettering on the spine as bright now as when it was published. The dust jacket is good only with chips and the spine faded badly but it did its job very well. It is now in a protective mylar wrap. A very scarce book in remarkable condition.
