  • The Day of Fire [Suggested by the Life of Arthur Rimbaud] – James Ullman – First Edition 1959

    The Day of Fire [Suggested by the Life of Arthur Rimbaud] – James Ullman – First Edition 1959

    First Edition published by Collins, London in 1959. Octavo, 638 pages. A little sign of age, dust jacket chipped at head, still a very good copy of a special book.

    The author had been working on this book for a number of years and provides a nice foreword about Rimbaud, He thanks New Directions for quotes from their “A Season in Hell”, possibly Voyager’s favourite book.

    No wonder the author invested so much time, Arthur Rimbaud was an extraordinary individual and apart from his poetry and writing led an extraordinary life, not always on the right side of the law.

    Based on the life of Arthur Rimbaud and a colourful life that was.

  • Tourmaline – Randolph Stow – First Edition 1963

    Tourmaline – Randolph Stow – First Edition 1963

    A first edition of this Australian classic published by Macdonald, London in 1963.

    Octavo, 224 pages. A very good copy in a slightly chipped dust jacket. Ownership signature on paste down. A few pages near the beginning exhibit a some show through of text from the other side … a little irritating … overcome with a relaxing cup of tea.

    A derelict Australian gold rush town is the setting for Randolph Stow’s gripping drama.

    The half title informs … “On the surface Tourmaline is the story of an illusion, of a lost township snatching at the chance of rebirth. At a deeper level it is a fable and man’s ever-present temptation to seek refuge from the world of his own reality”

    And …who can go past the haunting Sydney Nolan dust jacket?
