Tales of Mystery and Imagination EDGAR ALLEN POE, ILLUSTRATED BY HARRY CLARKE An anchor piece in any serious library, this volume escaped wide circulation because it was too wicked for common comprehension. Published at the height of the Decadent Movement and in symphony with it, Poe and Clarke rendered the other contemporary dandies a shade whiter. Part of our exclusive Xistis Press Gold Folio series, we offer this revisitation as a hand-bound leather collector’s volume, hand-bound by a master book-binder in Eastern Europe.

Lillian Lieber EARLY WRITINGS LILLIAN LIEBER “‘We’re all intrinsically of the same substance,’ astrophysicist Janna Levin wrote in her exquisite inquiry into whether the universe is infinite or finite. ‘The fabric of the universe is just a coherent weave from the same threads that make our bodies. How much more absurd it becomes to believe that the universe, space and time could possibly be infinite when all of us are finite.’ How, then, do we set aside this instinctual absurdity in order to grapple with the concept of infinity, which pushes our creaturely powers of comprehension past their limit so violently? That’s what the mathematician and writer Lillian R. Lieber (July 26, 1886–July 11, 1986) set out to explore more than half a century earlier in the unusual and wonderful 1953 gem Infinity: Beyond the Beyond the Beyond — one of seventeen marvelous books she published in her hundred years, inviting the common reader into science with uncommon ingenuity and irresistible warmth. Emanating from Lieber’s discussion of infinity is a larger message about what it means, and what it takes, to be a finite but complete and balanced human being.” - HT - Natalie Wolchover Paperback | $19.99 Trade | £13.95 | €17.95 148 x 210 mm | March 2018
