Franklin Square, New York: Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1884. First edition thus. Rare. Gigantic 15" x 19" elephant Folio design weighing over seven lbs. Beautifully illustrated coated beveled boards in bright gilt and crisp black on grey-green b.g., moderate shelf wear. Cover depicts crouching angel holding key and candle with richly decorated, gilded wings. Pages and plates very good, no writing; moderate discoloration to few. Bright gilded text block at all sides. Dark brown pastedown and end pages. Bind good, square; hinges reinforced. Wood engraved frontispiece of Pallas w/busts of Poe and Doré designed by Elihu Vedder. Additionally, twenty-six full-page illustrated plates of Gustave Doré grace the large volume from various engravers. Doré's mystical and chillingly macabre imagery illuminate Poe's eerie poem of sadness and longing for the dearest Lenore. Doré passed a year previous in January, 1883 after completing this, his last commission. With comment on Poe's narrative poem by Edmund C. Stedman. Near very good rarity as shown. Insured post. Edgar Allan Poe's hazy narrative begins on a night in December when "The Raven" haunts the unnamed narrator who sits reading "forgotten lore" to sublimate the loss of his love, Lenore. A "rapping at his chamber door" reveals nothing, yet excites his soul to "burning". A similar rapping, slightly louder, is heard at his window. When he investigates, a raven enters his chamber. Paying no attention, the raven perches atop a bust of Pallas high above the door. Amused by the raven's comically serious disposition, the man asks that the bird tell him its name. The raven's only answer is "Nevermore". The narrator is surprised that the raven can talk, though at this point it has said nothing further. The narrator remarks to himself that his "friend" will soon fly out of his life, just as "other friends have flown before". The raven responds again with "Nevermore". The narrator reasons that the bird learned the word "Nevermore" from some "unhappy master" and that it is the only word it knows. Regardless, the narrator pulls his chair directly in front of the raven, determined to learn more. He thinks for a moment, and his mind wanders to his lost Lenore. He thinks the air grows denser and feels the presence of angels, and wonders if God is sending him a sign that he is to forget Lenore. The bird again replies in the negative, suggesting that he can never be free of his memories. The narrator becomes angry, calling the raven a "thing of evil". Finally, he asks whether he will be reunited with Lenore in Heaven. When the raven responds with its typical "Nevermore", he is enraged, and, calling it a liar, commands the bird to return to the "Plutonian shore", - but it does not move. The narrator's final admission is that his soul is trapped beneath the raven's shadow and shall be lifted "Nevermore".. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Doré, Gustave. Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall.

The acclaimed translation of Borges's valedictory stories, in its first stand-alone edition Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of the twentieth century. Now Borges's remarkable last major story collection, The Book of Sand, is paired with a handful of writings from the very end of his life. Brilliantly translated, these stories combine a direct and at times almost colloquial style coupled with Borges's signature fantastic inventiveness. Containing such marvelous tales as "The Congress," "Undr," "The Mirror and the Mask," and "The Rose of Paracelsus," this edition showcases Borges's depth of vision and superb image-conjuring power.
