Lost in the Funhouse. Fiction for Print, Tape, Live Voice
London: Secker & Warburg, 1969. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0436036738. Dustjacket in plastic protective cover. With remnants and/or residue of sticky tape on endpapers, covers and/or dustjacket. With library stamps and labels. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners and dustjacket. ; The collection consists of 14 stories that range widely in style and structure, but are unified by their exploration of the theme of writing and the role of the writer. The titular story, "Lost in the Funhouse," is perhaps the most emblematic of Barth's approach. It tells the story of Ambrose, a young boy who visits a funhouse at the beach, but on a deeper level, it's about the process of writing and the quest for meaning within narratives. As Ambrose navigates the funhouse, encountering mirrors that distort reality and paths that lead nowhere, Barth similarly navigates through traditional narrative forms, challenging readers' expectations and highlighting the artificiality of storytelling. Other stories in the collection, such as "Night-Sea Journey" and "Menelaiad," experiment with perspective and voice, offering tales from the viewpoints of unlikely narrators, including a spermatozoon and a figure from Greek mythology, respectively. Through these diverse narratives, Barth delves into themes of identity, existence, and the creative process, all while demonstrating a deep awareness of literary tradition and the possibilities of its reinvention. ; Octavo; xii, 201 pages.

La Vie de Saint Gilles par Guillaume de Berneville. Poéme Du Xiie Siècle. Publié D'Apés le Manuscrit Unique de Florence par Gaston Paris & Alphonse Bos (Textes Français 22)
Paris: Librairie De Firmin Didot Et Cie, 1881. First Edition; First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). 188 pages & publisher's catalogue. Deckle-edged. With library stamps & labels. Slight wear & slight soiling to spine, covers & corners. Light foxing to fore edge. ; "La Vie de Saint Gilles par Guillaume de Berneville. Počme du XIIe sičcle. Publié d'aprčs le manuscrit unique de Florence par Gaston Paris & Alphonse Bos" is an essential edition of a 12th-century French epic poem that provides a detailed narrative of the life of Saint Gilles, a popular figure in medieval Christian lore. The text, based on the sole surviving manuscript housed in Florence, is critically edited by the renowned philologists Gaston Paris and Alphonse Bos, who offer not only a faithful transcription of the original Old French but also a thorough linguistic and historical commentary. The poem itself portrays the miraculous events and holy deeds of Saint Gilles, including his retreat to the wilderness, his challenges, and his sanctified interactions with Charles Martel. This edition is pivotal for its in-depth exploration of medieval religious narrative and its influence on later literary and cultural works. The editors' scholarly work illuminates the text's historical context and linguistic nuances, making it accessible to both contemporary scholars and enthusiasts of medieval literature. Their commentary also sheds light on the poems reception and its role in shaping the hagiographical traditions of medieval Europe, offering invaluable insights into the religious and literary milieu of the time. ; Ex-Library; Octavo (standard book size).
