  • Publisher: New Directions,
  • Date published: 2013.
[Poetry] Bolano, Roberto. The Unknown University. New York: New Directions, 2013. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with a closed edge tear to the heel of the spine. Roberto Bolano touted poetry as the superior art form, able to approach an infinity in which "you become infinitely small without disappearing." The sum of his life's work in his preferred medium, The Unknown University is a showcase of Bolano's gift for freely crossing genres, with poems written in prose, stories in verse, and flashes of writing that can hardly be categorized. "Poetry," he believed, "is braver than anyone." This bilingual edition is 835 pages.

La revista del vigia ano 20 numero 31 ediciones vigia matanzas cuba,directora laura ruiz con diseno de rolando estevez.edicion limitada de 200 ejemplares hechos totalmente a mano de modo artesanal.Ediciones Vigía, creadas por el poeta >Alfredo Zaldívar, su editor principal hasta 1998, y hasta la actualidad por Agustina Ponce, adquieren su título, de la >Plaza de la Vigía, por el lugar geográfico donde se instala, en la Casa del Escritor de Matanzas (Río y Magdalena en la ciudad de Matanzas) y que, al cobijar bajo el mismo techo a la editorial y operar como un espacio de presentación de autores, se convirtió en un centro de promoción cultural único.Bajo el emblema del >quinqué y caracterizadas por un riguroso criterio de selección, el carácter inédito de sus publicaciones y un diseño singular, las ediciones están dirigidas a un público intelectual sin distinción de edad, sexo o nacionalidad. Surgen en 1985, con el propósito inicial de vincular a los escritores matanceros con la literatura universal y con las creaciones de escritores nacionales. Desde un inicio la idea estética de Vigía estuvo encaminada a acercar lo más posible el libro al trabajo humano.En los primeros años el taller se dedicó a la impresión de las invitaciones de las actividades que se desarrollaban en la recién inaugurada institución, y en otros lugares de interés cultural. Posteriormente, comenzaron los primeros plegables y plaquettes, ediciones bilingües concebidas como apoyo a varios ciclos de conferencias que sobre literatura universal se ofrecieron, catálogos de exposiciones, etc. , y todo ello, combinado con un trabajo de diseño que fue complejizándose y volviéndose cada vez más atrevido. Se incluyeron dibujos que complementaban los textos, trabajados sobre otros papeles y texturas, iluminados manualmente, con los bordes rasgados en los espacios concebidos dentro del impreso, páginas unidas con hilo de yute o >rayón. La utilización de papeles pobres, recortería, papeles hechos a mano, y todo tipo de elementos naturales, textiles, recortería de metales, vidrio, >plástico, etc; es una constante en el trabajo de Vigía.

New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2008 First Edition/First Printing. Softcover. 898 pages. Published simultaneously with the Hardcover Edition. Three colorful softcover volumes in pictorial box. Winner of the 2008 National Book Critics Award for Fiction. Translator Natasha Wimmer has done a extraordinary job. Considered a contemporary classic, it is a masterful work by the late Chilian-Mexican novelist. Becoming extremely rare, in that the softcover Slipcase Set will not be reissued once all the copies are sold, and the slipcase edition had a smaller print run than the hardcover. In the publishers original shrinkwrap. New, still sealed in original shrinkwrap which has a 3 inch X 1inch tear near the bottom of the back of the box, that does not impact the slipcase at all. A fine scarce collectable set. As new. Unopened and unread. From my smoke-free collection. Ships in well-padded box.

Cover painting by Hilla Schürholz. Accompanied by the original publisher's 'La Pista de Hielo' informational bookmark.

Told from the perspective of three different male narrators, Roberto Bolaño's 'La Pista de Hielo' provides a complex and entertaining experience for the hungry minds of mystery readers everywhere.
