Uncut and inside clean. Overall acceptable and suited for rebinding. L’intelligence d’une machine was published in January 1946, after more than a tenyear hiatus due to the war, when Epstein had to go in hiding. While the topic reflected in the title of the book had been a constant preoccupation throughout Epstein's previous writings, this text pursues in depth topics that will remain central to all his later publications. He here approaches cinema as a philosophy of time and space more consistently than before, and methodically construes arguments in the field of physics, mechanics, and thermodynamics. Quote from The Philosophy of the Cinematograph: "Cinema is one of these intellectual robots, still partial, that fleshes out representations – that is to say, a thought – through photo-electrical mechanics and a photo-chemical inscription. One can here recognize the primordial frameworks of reason, the three Kantian categories of space, duration, and causality. This result would already be remarkable if cinematographic thought only did what the calculating machine does, to constitute itself in the servile imitation of human ideation. But we know that the cinematograph, on the contrary, marks its representation of the universe with its own qualities, with an originality that makes this representation not a reflection or a simple copy with conceptions, of an organic mentality-mother, but rather a system that is individualized differently, partly independently, which contains the incitements for a philosophy so far from common opinions, the doxa, that one should perhaps call it an anti-philosophy."

Penguin / Viking, 2012. Hardcover w jacket. X, 351 pp. Light shelfwear to jacket else clean and unread copy. The diary as Anne Frank wrote it. At last, in a new translation, this definitive edition contains entries about Anne's burgeoning sexuality and confrontations with her mother that were cut from previous editions. Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, it has been a beloved and deeply admired monument to the indestructible nature of the human spirit, read by millions of people and translated into more than fifty-five languages. Doubleday, which published the first English translation of the diary in 1952, now offers a new translation that captures Anne's youthful spirit and restores the original material omitted by Anne's father, Otto--approximately thirty percent of the diary. The elder Frank excised details about Anne's emerging sexuality, and about the often-stormy relations between Anne and her mother. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation forces, hid in the back of an Amsterdam office building for two years. This is Anne's record of that time. She was thirteen when the family went into the "Secret Annex," and in these pages, she grows to be a young woman and proves to be an insightful observer of human nature as well.

First edition, 1st printing. .- This accordion book of digital photographs was created in conjunction with David Horvitz’s installation at Art Basel in 2013, which consisted of two iPhones, one playing a video of the sun setting in Los Angeles and the other showing the same sun rising in Maldives on the opposite side of the globe. The Distance of a Day explores the delimitations of a day. “If the day is ending in California,” Horvitz asks, “where exactly in the world is it simultaneously beginning?”

"Over the past 30 years Victor Burgin’s work has established him as both a highly influential artist and a renowned theorist of the still and moving image. After 13 years in the United States, Burgin recently returned to live and work in Britain.

New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich - A Harvest Book, 1983 (1950). Large paperback. 500 pages. Foxing to edges and inner cover, else overall clean and solid good copy. Kerouac's debut novel: "In his big, compelling first novel, Jack Kerouac drew on his own New England background and experiences to tell the story of George and Marguerite Martin and their three daughters and five sons, a clan of energetic individuals, each wrapped in his own vision of life. The narrative follows the members of the family from the early part of the century through World War II, which uproots them from their Massachusetts home and scatters them across the country and to Europe and Okinawa. The surviving children are reunited again only briefly at their father's funeral after the war." (from back cover of HBJ edition) The first novel by Jack Kerouac, Founding Father of the Beat Generation, was originally published in hardcover during March of 1950 by then-Harcourt Brace and Company, with the author referred to by his formal name of "John Kerouac" for the first & only time. The novel is written in a conventional style reminiscent of Thomas Wolfe, & the "Spontaneous Bop Prosody" that would revolutionize literature would not blast off until seven years later upon the first publication of On the Road. Nevertheless, this semi-fictional work, as with all his further works, is really an impressionistic, romanticized memoir with thinly disguised characters who represent Kerouac ("Peter Martin"), his family & the real-life cohorts who would co-found the Beat Generation, including William S. Burroughs ("Will Dennison"), Allen Ginsberg ("Leon Levinsky") & Herbert Huncke ("Junky"). The experiences depicted are the legends of early Beat history".
