Description:
Vermont: The Bird Press. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "The basis of this book is a dynamic text/image collaboration between writer and im- age-maker. The collaborative process consisted of texts and images sent back and forth in dialogue with one another, each element continuing on from the last. This created a freely evolving narrative that turned into a surrealist story that Accame describes as "...a short story in images and words that tells of how a dark force calls to a man and sweeps him away to the unknown places of his soul". The original Spanish text was translated into Eng- lish, and both languages appear on each page. The drawings were made on lithographic stones and printed in careful register over archival pigment prints on Kitakata papers. They were then mounted onto the pages of the book alongside the letterpress printed texts. The finished book was exquisitely hand bound by Mark Tomlinson." (from prospectus). Tight, bright, and unmarred. np. Illus.…

Nigeria, 1958. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good+. First Edition. Original Wraps. The central focus is the city of Ile-Ife; the author, the late J. A. Ademakinwa, was an Ife indigene. He puts the mythologies and traditions of his people to good use to speak to a host of subjects.". . . "Ademakinwa's book fulfills the goals set out by the author, conveying ideas to understand historical events within the idioms and conception of history by his own people. It links rituals with mythologies to explain events and phenomena. It explains the formation of Yoruba customs and culture in combination with traditional accounts that tell us about Yoruba history and culture. The book deals primarily with a past that is no more, that very distant time not covered by scientific explanations but by mythologies. In this sense, the myths are valid within the rubric of traditional stories. The book is the history of Ife and the Yoruba; as a body of impressive myths about the past; and as the memory of a…
