Title: Death of a Salesman
Author: Miller, Arthur
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: The Viking Press, 1949 First edition, first printing. Publisher's orange cloth, with an illustration of the play's stage setting and the spine lettering in brown, pictorial endpapers illustrated with a reproduced drawing of the play's stage setting by the play's original set designer Jo Mielziner; original first issue dust jacket with illustration of the protagonist Willy Loman designed by Joseph Hirsch. Near fine book with light toning to spine and edges, and slight lean to spine; very good unclipped dust jacket with light wear to edges, lightly nicked corners, a bit of chipping to spine ends. Overall, a vibrant copy without any fading. Death of a Salesman is Miller's best-known play, about Willy Loman, an aging traveling salesman who struggles financially and emotionally after losing his job. The plot was largely influenced by Miller's own experience as part of a prosperous immigrant family who achieved the American Dream only to be later devastated by the Great Depression. The story is told in stream-of-consciousness style, with Loman drifting between the reality of his shabby apartment and the idyllic memories of a more prosperous yesteryear. This literary technique is achieved in the theater setting through Loman's conversation with characters who exist only his imagination, as indicated by the play's half-title. Death of a Salesman debuted on Broadway at the Morosco Theatre in New York on February 10, 1949, starring Lee J. Cobb as Willy Loman and under the direction of Elia Kazan. A literary and theatrical success, Death of a Salesman won both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play in 1949.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

Title: RECUERDOS
Author: Cintrón, Conchita
Seller: lizzyoung bookseller (United States)
Condition: Red morocco with title in gilt. Near fine
Description: Madrid: First Edition, 1962. Hardcover. Red morocco with title in gilt. Near fine. 299 pages. 15.5 cm. Presentation copy - "To Anne and Ranaldo as a souvenir of a few hours in Portugal, With sincere affection, Conchita, Lisbon 1964." Privately rebound with personal photos and letters tipped in. Text in Spanish. Autobiographical account of Cintrón's life and career as a female matador. Cintrón (1922-2009) was born in Chile, the daughter of the first Puerto Rican Graduate of West Point and an American Mother. Beginning at 13, she learned bullfighting in Lima, Peru where her family had settled. Citrón, the most famous female torera of the 20th century, was perhaps the only bullfighter to combine the two main styles of the sport in the same fight - Spanish, in which the matadora is on foot, and Portuguese, in which the bullfighter is on horseback. As her fame grew, she became a media darling. Her legend was sealed in 1940, when she was gored in Guadalajara, Mexico, collapsed, and was carried to the infirmary. Upon regaining consciousness, she returned to the ring, killed the bull, and collapsed again. She ended her career spectacularly in Jaén, Spain, in October 1950. This was during the Franco regime, when women weren't allowed to fight bulls on foot. She did just that, was arrested, and released to cheering crowds. She married Francisco de Castelo Branco in 1951, settled in Lisbon, Portugal, and raised a large family. Ranald H. Macdonald and Anne Thomptson Macdonald were lifetime friends of Cintrón. Anne was the founder of Recording for the Blind and Ranald was a businessman and former governor of the New York Stock Exchange. The letters and photos tipped and laid in to this privately rebound copy show a fondness and closeness that lasted for many years.
