Condizione: Good. Edition 10 * 18Date de publication : 09/2008" Écrit au début des années soixante par un jeune inconnu qui devait se suicider en 1969, à l'âge de trente-deux ans, parce qu'il se croyait un écrivain raté, La Conjuration des imbéciles n'a été éditée qu'en 1980. Le plus drôle dans cette histoire, pour peu qu'on goûte l'humour noir, c'est qu'aussitôt publié, le roman a connu un immense succès outre-Atlantique et s'est vu couronné en 1981 par le prestigieux prix Pulitzer. Une façon pour les Américains de démentir à retardement le pied de nez posthume que leur adressait l'écrivain, plaçant en exergue à son livre cette citation de Swift : "Quand un vrai génie apparaît en ce bas monde, on peut le reconnaître à ce signe que les imbéciles sont tous ligués contre lui." " Bernard Le Saux, Le Matin 499.

Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 6th Printing. 1981 6th printing in second state jacket (Chicago Sun-Times blurb on rear panel). Near fine in very good jacket. Jacket price clipped, jacket edges a bit rubbed with 1/2 inch closed internal tear on rear corner and 1/4 inch abrasion on spine. 1980 Hard Cover. vii, [5], 338 pp. 8vo. Foreword by Walker Percy. "A Confederacy of Dunces is a picaresque novel written by John Kennedy Toole, published by LSU Press in 1980, 11 years after the author's suicide. The book was published through the efforts of writer Walker Percy (who also contributed a revealing foreword) and Toole's mother Thelma Toole, quickly becoming a cult classic, and later a mainstream success. Toole posthumously won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1981. It is now considered a canonical work of modern Southern literature. The title derives from the epigraph by Jonathan Swift: "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." (Thoughts on Various Subjects, Moral and Diverting). The story is set in New Orleans in the early 1960s. The central character is Ignatius J. Reilly, an educated but slothful 30-year-old man still living with his mother in the city's Uptown neighborhood, who, due to an incident early in the book, must set out to get a job. In his quest for employment he has various adventures with colorful French Quarter characters.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Lindlof, Ed (Wrapper Illustration) (illustratore). First Edition. 1980 at title page and copyright page. Stated eighth printing. Oatmeal colored full cloth boards, black stylized spine titles, fine. Matte mustard lime endpapers. Pages fine; no writing. Bind fine, square. Dust wrapper, slight wear; unclipped 14.95, protected in new clear sleeve. Wrapper features gold medallion at front panel: "Winner of The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction". Sadly, the author, John Kennedy Toole, took his own life at 32, after facing consistent rejection from nearly every American publisher. Toole's mother, finally was able to have her son's work posthumously published; and, as fate would have it, the satirical novel won the Pulitzer Prize. "A masterwork of comedy. pungent slapstick, sature and intellectual incongruities. make for a grand comic fugue" (New York Time). Presented here is "a great slob of a man in violent revolt against the entire twentieth century!" This book's unusual path to success began in 1976 when John Kennedy Toole's mother Thelma, using a walker, hobbled into the office of novelist Walker Percy at Loyola University. She was followed by a chauffeur carrying a manuscript that she told Mr. Percy was a ''masterpiece''. Percy reluctantly agreed to read it. He became entranced as he read, and decided that the novel was ''a major achievement, a huge comic-satiric-tragic one-of-a-kind rendering of life in New Orleans.'' After several more publishers rejected the book, Louisiana State University Press agreed to take a chance with a first printing of only 2,500. The soon to be Pulitzer Prize winner went on to 50,000 copies in hard cover and nearly 600,000 in paperback within three years. Manufactured in the United States of America. 338 pages. Insured post.

Jacket illustration by Ed Lindlof. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. A very nice example, uncommon signed. â A masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue" (The New York Times Book Review). The book's passage to success began in 1976 when John Kennedy Toole's mother Thelma, using a walker, hobbled into the office of the novelist Walker Percy at Loyola University. She was followed by a chauffeur carrying a manuscript that she told Mr. Percy was a ''masterpiece.'' Percy agreed to read it.
