Description

A stunning large-paper copy of the first edition of the definitive text of the author's most important work, one of the chief literary manifestations of Catalan modernism. The first two editions appeared in 1905, and were printed on cheap paper, and there were no large-paper copies. 135 large-paper copies of this 1909 edition were printed, of which THIS IS ONE OF 35 NUMBERED COPIES PRINTED ON FINE JAPANESE PAPER AND SIGNED IN INK BY THE AUTHOR (the remaining 100 large-paper copies were printed on laid paper, and were not signed). 8vo. A PRISTINE COPY IN THE ORIGINAL WRAPS, ADORNED WITH A BEAUTIFUL MODERNIST (i.e., Catalan art nouveau) DESIGN. UNCUT AND UNOPENED. A bit of foxing to edges (not on pages), else FINE AND BRIGHT, with no defects. Complete with prospectus, also printed on Japanese paper. A wonderful copy of perhaps the most important modern Catalan novel--very, very few copies of this deluxe issue have surivived in the original wraps.
