Περιγραφή από τον πωλητή
William Sansom. THE EQUILIBRIAD [1948]. The Hogarth Press. First Edition. Hardcover in 8vo: 46 pages. Limited edition 48/750, with full-page black and white illustrations by Lucian Freud, marbled boards and leather spine with gilt lettering. A rare copy, signed by the author.
William Sansom (1912–1976) was a British novelist and short story writer. 'The Equilibriad' is an unusual 'Kafkaesque' novella about a man who wakes up one morning to discover he had lost his body's equilibrium, only able to walk at a 45-degree angle.
The book is illustrated with five full-page plates after drawings by British artist Lucian Freud (1922-2011), the grandson of Sigmund Freud. In 1944, as a young artist, Freud was already showing his exceptional draftsmanship in the illustrations for Nicholas Moore's poetry collection, 'The Glass Tower' (PL Poetry London Edition).
Provenance: British author, critic, collector John Russell Taylor.
