Built of Books

Henry Holt and Company, 2009. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 370. An entirely new kind of biography, Built of Books explores the mind and personality of Oscar Wilde through his taste in books This intimate account of Oscar Wilde`s life and writings is richer, livelier, and more personal than any book available about the brilliant writer, revealing a man who built himself out of books. His library was his reality, the source of so much that was vital to his life. A reader first, his readerly encounters, out of all of life`s pursuits, are seen to be as significant as his most important relationships with friends, family, or lovers. Wilde`s library, which Thomas Wright spent twenty years reading, provides the intellectual (and emotional) climate at the core of this deeply engaging portrait. One of the book`s happiest surprises is the story of the author`s adventure reading Wilde`s library. Reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges`s fictional hero who enters Cervantes`s mind by saturating himself in the culture of sixteenth-century Spain, Wright employs Wilde as his own Virgilian guide to world literature. We come to understand how reading can be an extremely sensual experience, producing a physical as well as a spiritual delight. ISBN: 9780805089936. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

BLAKISTON, THOMAS WRIGHT:

Five Months on the Yang-tsze; with a Narrative of the Exploration of its Upper Waters, and Notices of the Present Rebellions in China. London, J. Murray, 1862.

. Pp. xiv, (ii), 380. With frontispiece, 15 wood engraved plates, two folding maps, seven text illustrations and one specimen page from the author's field-book. Occasionally some staining. Publisher's gilt cloth, faded and extremities lightly rubbed. Bookplate (J. Leveson Gower). First edition of a scarce work which for many years was considered the standard of the region including an accurate map of the river from Hankow to Pingshan. Thomas W. Blakiston (1832-91) was a British army officer and naturalist who was posted to Canton during the second Opium War in 1859. He organised an exploration of the middle and upper course of the Yang-tsze-Kiang in 1861. The mission was to ascend the river as far as the Min, and then cross the province of Szechuan, and reach north-western India via Tibet and Lhasa. The party reached Pingshan after having travelled eighteen hundred miles from Shanghai which was further than any other European explorer before them. This narrative contains interesting information about the country including the fauna and flora, and also comments on the politically volatile situation in China at the time. The illustrations are by Alfred Barton. Cordier BS 121. Löwendahl 1263.

Thomas Wright was an English antiquarian and writer, who contributed to the Gentleman's Magazine and was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. Wright was a renowned scholar, who was perhaps best known for his editing of a number of relics of the Middle Ages.

The work is an important and thorough work which brings to light a previously unknown manuscript. In a quarter morocco binding with paper covered boards.
