*Publisher:* M. Rivadeneyra - Impresor - Editor

*Condition:* Very Good +

*Description*

A Very Good + or better copy of the first edition, first printing, bound in
elegant tree calf, INTIMATELY SIGNED BY VALLE-INCLAN on the half-title of
each Volume to Luisa Díaz Sáenz Valiente. (Each Volume has rubbing to the
outer board corners, the rear joint of Tomo Primero appears to have been
expertly repaired, and Tomo Segundo shows a little scuffing to the spine.
Tomo primero lacks the first front free endpaper, and a prior owner has
darkened what appears to be a prior bookseller's stamp from each half-
title --- neither the pastedowns nor the pages show any signs of being
ex-library.) Tomo primero is signed "A mi Princesa / x x x / Valle-Inclán"
and Tomo segundo is SIGNED, INSCRIBED, DATED, and PLACED BY VALLE-INCLAN as
follows: "x x x / A Mi Princesa [underscored twice by Valle-Inclan] / x x x
/ Valle-Inclán / 11-V-1910 / Buenos Aires." Dramatist, novelist, and a
member of the Spanish Generation of 98, Valle-Inclan was a Spanish Literary
giant whose works influenced later generations of Spanish dramatists. The
books contain Valle-Inclan's history of the conquest of the Aztecs by
Hernando Cortes and the conquest of the Incas by Francisco Pizarro
González. TOGETHER WITH an ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH LOVE POEM BY VALLE INCLAN,
loosely laid in to Tomo primero and written on a single sheet of paper
titled by him "Para Señorita Luisa Díaz Sáenz Valiente" which begins as
follows: "Hoy me canta en el fecho tu recuerdo, Argentina,/ Con il canto de
una alondra matutina...." (The poem is in Near Fine condition, although
somewhat brittle at the folds, and shows some fold lines and a short closed
split where the folds meet in the center of the paper, as well as a short
tear at the top.) [As best we can determine, the Poem has never been
published.] Luisa Díaz Sáenz Valiente was a prominent journalist in
Argentina and married to a prominent Argentinean lawyer and diplomat. In
1910, Valle Inclan and his wife traveled for 6 months through Argentina,
Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia, and it appears that he particularly
enjoyed his time in Argentina. Having a notable Provenance, these items
were owned by actor Jack Palance and each volume bears the bookplate from
the 2006 sale of his Personal Property. A remarkable copy of this
two-volume work, INTIMATELY SIGNED IN EACH VOLUME BY RAMON MARIA DEL
VALLE-INCLAN, TOGETHER WITH AN ORIGINAL LOVE POEM FROM VALLE-INCLAN loosely
laid in to one of the Volumes. Books signed by Valle-Inclan are exceedingly
scarce to the market and original signed Poems written and signed by
Valle-Inclan are rare. A collection-distinguishing set and QUITE RARE.
