"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

Synopsis
The "original, first-rate, serious, and beautiful" short fiction ( New York Times Book Review ) that introduced J. D. 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. Witty, urbane, and frequently affecting, Nine Stories sits alongside Salinger's very best work--a treasure that will passed down for many generations to come. 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, The "original, first-rate, serious, and beautiful" short fiction ( New York Times Book Review ) that introduced J.

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 Esm --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

    Description of 'like new' was accurate, book arrived a couple of days ahead of estimated date, and it arrived in a slightly padded envelope but no damage was on the book. The price was a little high for a book that's 2 years old, but cheaper than what I found elsewhere. I would buy from this seller again.

    Book arrived in great condition. It was described accurately. It was shipped in a bubble mailer, so there was some minor damage to it on edges. No big deal, still worth the price! Seller was communicative and recieved my message when I dmed them about an issue.
