[POUND Ezra] &
Pea Enrico
Moscardino
Near fine, covers slightly knocked at corners and head of spine, but otherwise well-protected by clear plastic wrapping. Pages unblemished, if slightly browned.
Pound’s translation into English of Moscardino, a passionate recollection of Italian childhood from 1922 written by the poet and playwright Enrico Pea, and the first instalment in an eventual quartet of novels. A brief introductory note by Pea precedes the text, which is also concluded by a list of ‘Books by Enrico Pea’.
