NERUDA,  Pablo.  HEIGHTS  OF MACCHU PICCHU.  [New  York]:  Limited
Editions  Club  (1998).  Oblong folio (15" x 12") bound in  full  dark
green  linen  with  a  black leather spine  label  lettered  in  gilt.
Translated  by  John Felstiner and illustrated with  photogravures  by
Edward  Ranney.  This  poem is the result of a visit  by  the  Chilean
winner  of the Nobel Prize to the mysterious citadel in Peru built  by
the  Incas.  "The superb photographs of Macchu Picchu by  Ranney  that
accompany  Pablo  Neruda's  Heights of Macchu Picchu stand  among  the
finest  works  of a photographer whom one critic calls 'a very  modern
visionary  of  the  antique,' embodying 'a  gnomic  monumentality,  an
almost  clinical sublimity.'" Copy #154 of 300 numbered copies  SIGNED
by  the  translator  and by the illustrator. Monthly Letter  laid  in.
Fine in slipcase, as issued.                                  $2500.00
