Description from the seller
This particular copy is a signed edition, making it a valuable item for both collectors of poetry and admirers of Latin American literature and Octavio Paz’s work.
"On the Edge of the World" is the Czech selection of poems by Octavio Paz, one of the most important Mexican poets, essayists, and later Nobel Prize in Literature laureates, published in Prague in 1966 by the State Publishing House of Fine Literature, Music, and Art (SNKLU). The collection presents a selection of his poetry, renowned for its depth, reflection on existence, and the intertwining of emotion and intellect, including some of Paz’s most significant poems of the 20th century.
The book is in good condition; the transparent cellophane dust jacket is damaged.
Seller's Story
I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art.
Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian.
However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
