"The most perfectly balanced collection of stories I know... Nine Stories is a book I've gone back to at different moments in my life, and I always find something new. I've passionately loved different stories at different times, first 'Teddy,' later 'For Esmé--with Love and Squalor.' I could list all of them."-- Ann Patchett , Parade

Salinger to American readers in the years after World War II, including "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" and the first appearance of Salinger's fictional Glass family. Nine exceptional stories from one of the great literary voices of the twentieth century.

The stories: A Perfect Day for Bananafish Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut Just Before the War with the Eskimos The Laughing Man Down at the Dinghy For Esmé--with Love and Squalor Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes De Daumier-Smith's Blue Period Teddy, English summary: Salvatore Romano (1875-1955) was one of the most important art collectors of the early twentieth century. In 1946, as homage to the city that had become his home, he offered his collection to Florence. Romano himself, along with his son, determined the exhibition of the different objects, juxtaposing famous works with pieces by anonymous medieval craftsmen, often from places peripheral to Italy's more noted artistic centers. The detailed descriptions provided in this volume provide a useful guide to the museum and its collection. Appendix with English translation Italian description: Salvatore Romano (1875-1955) fu uno dei massimi cultori d'arte della prima meta del Novecento. Nel 1946 dono a Firenze, la citta che lo aveva ospitato fin dal 1924, un nucleo coerente di oggetti, come contributo morale e culturale alle profonde ferite inferte dalla guerra al paese, in memoria del padre e del paese natio, Meta di Sorrento. Il progetto di allestimento fu pensato dallo stesso collezionista - le cui spoglie sono conservate al centro dell'ambiente in un sarcofago dal coperchio paleocristiano - in collaborazione con il figlio Francesco, accostando opere di artisti di grande fama a manufatti di anonimi medievali, spesso provenienti da luoghi periferici rispetto all'Italia artisticamente piu nota. Le dettagliate descrizioni di Serena Pini, Raffaella Calamini e Silvia De Luca accompagnano il visitatore attraverso la collezione. Gli argomenti spaziano dalla vicenda del fondatore alla storia del museo e della sua sede, l'antico Cenacolo di Santo Spirito. Glossario, biografie degli artisti e un ricco apparato arricchiscono il volume. Appendix with English translation

    This book' condition was listed as "good," but it actually could have been listed as brand new, making it an especially great value! There is no sign that the book was ever opened. It arrived within the original delivery window, in spite of a conflicting, and erroneous, email this morning saying that the arrival date had been delayed. All in all, a very smooth transaction. I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again. Thanks!

    SUPER nice book, it is even better than described, looks 100% brand new. Seller shipped it to me immediately and the price was more than fair. I appreciate the great customer service, my only suggestion is to send in a padded envelope or box. This hard cover book was shipped in a thin plastic envelope but I lucked out and it wasn't damaged in transit. Other than that, really top-notch transaction, thank you so much!!

    Novel in very good condition and delivered on time

    The novel arrived in very good quality and had no writing in or outside. It arrived on the 13 which is within the arrival window. If you enjoy reading about America after the Second World War, this is a great choice for you. Salinger's change of style from The Catcher in the Rye shows how complex of an author he is.
