THE LIFE AND DEATH OF LEON
TROTSKY, by Victor Serge and
Natalia Sedova Trotsky, translated by
Arnold Pomerans. Basic Books,
$10.95
Trotsky has been fixed in the con–
temporary imagination as the very
model of the revolutionary hero and
martyr. This classic portrait of him
was written by his widow and a
trusted friend and confidant , two
people who knew this difficult and
en igmat ic figure best , who under–
stood his thoughts and feelings , and
witnessed at first hand the events of
his life .
GUSTAV KLlMT, by Alessandra
Comini. (48 plates in full color.)
George Braziller, $15.00
Klimt's role in the development of
twentieth-century art is just being
realized . Dr. Comini treats his work in
a new manner, discussing his por–
traits , al legories , and landscapes as
separate facets , tracing the develop–
ment of each through to its culmina–
tion . Her text is heavily illustrated
with documentary photos of Klimt
and his associates, as well as with
comparative works of other artists ,
bringing a new dimension to the
understanding of the art of this extra–
ordinary man .
ULYSSES: A FACSIMILE OF THE
MANUSCRIPT, by James Joyce, In–
troduction by Harry Levin, biblio–
graphical preface by Clive Driver.
Octagon, $150.00
The 810 pages of handwritten
manuscript of Joyce's Ulysses are
here reproduced in two volumes by
quality photo-offset lithography. The
facsimile is accompanied by a third
volume that reproduces a copy of the
first edition marked with the differ–
ences between this text , the manu–
script, and the Little Review install–
ments , changes in form and concep–
tion which uniquely demonstrate
Joyce's working method . The manu–
script also brings to light the many
typographical errors in all printed
editions , as well as many lines over–
looked in its initial transcription. The
student and scholar are thus pro–
vided for the first time with the means
for establishing a definitive text . The
three volumes , stoutly boxed , are
issued in a numbered edition limited
to 1,775 copies .
