[Charles Agvent]

NERUDA, Pablo HEIGHTS OF MACCHU PICCHU
Limited Editions Club [New York] (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
