I should be working on my dissertation, and have been, but I thought it'd be fun (for me :P) to loop you all in somehow. Therefore I bring you a very silly poll!

*best means whatever it means to you; feel free to propagandize

**yes, I deliberately excluded Shakespeare (from the poll, not the dissertation, lol)

"Me parecía que todas nuestras quejas; por carecer de algo: Demuestran nuestra falta de agradecimiento, por lo que poseemos.”

Daniel Defoe, "Robinson Crusoe".

[tuportamiviareturn]

La paura del pericolo è diecimila volte più agghiacciante del pericolo stesso: il peso dell'ansia ci pare più greve del male temuto.

Daniel Defoe o De Foe (Stoke Newington, 1660 – Moorfields, 24 aprile 1731)

[melaly]

En vano trataba de distraerme dando largos paseos y, con la atención cautivada por cosas bellas, alejar toda tristeza. Era inútil, porque de nada sirve cambiar de lugar si el alma no cambia de contenido. ¿Qué importa que uno intente alejarse de si mismo si lleva consigo el equipaje de su dolor y no sabe ni acierta a desprenderse de él?

“La paura del pericolo è diecimila volte più agghiacciante del pericolo stesso: il peso dell'ansia ci pare più grave del male temuto.”

It’s Fine Press Friday!

Special Collections just keeps on giving. Every time I find a book with amazing original prints I think for sure its the last, but there are more! 

This week we bring you Roxana, The Fortunate Mistress, by English writer Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) with woodcuts by Austrian printmaker, Bernd Kroeber (B.1942), printed in 1976 at The Stinehour Press in Lunenburg, Vermont for the members of The Limited Editions Club in an edition of 2000 copies signed by the artist. It was first printed for Thomas Warner at the Black-Boy in Paternoster Row, London in 1724. 

Bernd Kroeber cut twelve full page two-color woodcuts and fourteen smaller black-and-white woodcuts to illustrate this text. The prints embrace the grain of the wood blocks and the expressive cuts and figures seem to reference back to German Expressionist printmakers, like Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. 

Roxana could be considered a proto-feminist character, as she raises concerns over sexual freedom and women’s right to own their own estate. Roxana is quoted saying “the Marriage Contract is...nothing but giving up Liberty, Estate, Authority, and everything, to the Man.” 

Book designer Adrian Wilson (1923-1988) designed this book using Bembo type and larger sizes of Bembo and Goudy Ornate for display lines. Wilson also designed the crossed-sword heart motif. The paper was specially made for this edition by Monadnock Mill in Bennington, New Hampshire and the book was bound by Tapley-Rutter Company of Moonachie, New Jersey. 

For the colophon, a print of characters reading Roxana. Too Funny!

Povere Creature non ha deluso le mie aspettative. Partiamo dal presupposto che io adoro Emma Stone,è un'attrice fantastica ed è la ragione che mi ha spinto a vedere questo film,detto ció, si sono affrontati tantissimi temi importanti con la giusta dose di ironia,che ti permette di goderti un film senza che ti appesantisca e senza che risulti una palla pretenziosa. Deve vincere l'Oscar perché la sua interpretazione supera di gran lunga tutte le altre candidate. Voi lo avete visto? Che ne pensate?
