This Hermetic Legislature - A Homage To Bruno Schulz

Ex Occidente Press Bucharest, 2012 VERY RARE DOUBLE SIGNED copy of this sought after book. NUMBER 46 OF ONLY 122 COPIES! Possibly the only copy listed on the internet. This Hermetic Legislature is a tribute to Bruno Schulz and the third such homage volume from Ex Occidente Press. At the end of a curious parallel track of imagination the Twentieth Century is frozen by the memory of early spring snows, the lascivious gaze of tradesmen, dark July nights and the chatter of exotic birds. Every face in the crowd is as still as a travelling waxwork exhibit. It is an Age of Genius writ in crumbing ledgers and announced in the margins of charlatans advertisements. Everywhere the agony and ecstasy of its times may be read. Upon every mouldering wall there is a rich mural of creation and beneath every glittering plastic jewel of technology hides an ancient fermentation. In each shop window, with its teetering mannequins, a universe of magical forms unfolds a pageant of infinite life begging to be rewritten, to live again! 1.
