About This Item
Chicago: The Swallow Press, 1959. Softcover. Good. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Ian Hugo. SIGNED at first free endpaper by the author, "Gael, from Anais." Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell was born in Paris, France, of Spanish-French-Danish parentage. She emigrated to the U.S. at age 11. Her Diary ran to 103 volumes by the publication of this volume in 1959 (Wikipedia). She came to the defense of and published the first book by a woman about D.H. Lawrence and wrote prefaces and forewords for Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell and many other, mostly male, masculine authors. She was also a neo-Freudian psychoanalyst under the tutelage of Dr. Otto Rank (publisher's blurb). Sturdy, still tightly bound softcover copy, moderate wear to and mild soiling of covers, less to text-block, but with neither underlining nor highlighting. Some slight foxing here and there, but a clean and bright, unmarked interior. Couple of dog-eared pages. Perfectly readable, usable copy. Illustrated at half-title and with two bound-in black-and-white illustrations by "Ian Hugo," Hugh Parker Guiler (February 15, 1898 â January 7, 1985), her husband from 1923 until her death in 1977 (while she was also married to another man). Ian Hugo was a skilled engraver and filmmaker in his own right, too. Children of the Albatross, like her other works, is drawn from her diary and letters. Ditto for Ladders to Fire, Cities of the Interior, A Spy in the House of Love and others. [6], 7-174 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
