JOYCE (James). Tales Told of Shem and Shaun. Three Fragments from Work in Progress. Parigi: The Black Sun Press, 1929. — In-8, 210 x 165: (6 fogli, il primo e il terzo bianchi), 1 tavola, copertina stampata. Brossura, copertina rinforzata, cofanetto. Edizione originale, con prefazione del linguista britannico Charles Kay Odgen. Nel 1929, Harry e Caresse Crosby, editori della Black Sun Press, contattarono Joyce — tramite la libraia Sylvia Beach — per pubblicare queste tre brevi favole tratte da *Finnegans Wake*, che hanno come protagonisti i tre bambini del romanzo, Shem, Shaun e Issy. I titoli sono: «The Mookse and the Gripes», «The Muddest Thick That Was Ever Heard Dump» e «The Ondt and the Gracehoper». Finnegans Wake apparirà nella sua versione integrale solo nel 1939. L’edizione è illustrata da un ritratto astratto fuori testo dell’autore realizzato da Constantin BRANCUSI (1876-1957). Tiratura limitata a 650 esemplari. Questo è uno dei 500 su carta Holland Van Gelder (n. 228). Esemplare in ottime condizioni.
