Matthew J. Bruccoli – Some Sort of Epic Grandeur: The Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald - Harcourt, Brace & Jovanovich, New York, 1981, 1ª edição absoluta, 624 páginas.

Em língua Inglesa

Hardcover

Trata-se de um ex-livro de biblioteca, como tal tem carimbos e cartões de registo (no final do livro, não visível nas fotos)

Tem também as marcas a caneta que pode ver na última foto.

Tem marcas de fita-cola (que eu tirei) nas capas do livro propriamente dito.

Tem um pequeno rasgão na página ao lado do índice (visível na penúltima foto, à esquerda)

Dust-jacket (com pequenos rasgões na lombada, foto 2) tem um plástico protector que eu acrescentei (não era da bibiloteca) e que pode ser removido, não está colado.

O papel usado é de qualidade, texto perfeitamente legível, não tem assinaturas de posse ou notas mas infelizmente tem subinhados feitos por caneta azul, vermelha e marcador amarelo (semelhante ao que pode ver na última foto).

Texto da segunda edição, revista (2002)

The standard work on Fitzgerald, revised, enlarged, and updated; Since its first publication in 1981, Some Sort of Epic Grandeur has stood apart from other biographies of F. Scott Fitzgerald for its thoroughness and volume of information. It is regarded today as the basic work on Fitzgerald and the preeminent source for the study of the novelist.

In this second revised edition, Matthew J. Bruccoli provides new evidence discovered since its original edition. This new edition of Some Sort of Epic Grandeur improves, augments, and updates the standard biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald.

*

Matthew J. Bruccoli is always able to look through the events themselves to the essential fact about Fitzgerald: his existence as an artist, and not only to how it came about, but what it came to. Some sort of epic grandeur is exactly what Fitzgerald had. It is a perfect title for this book, for the grandeur is there, in the struggle to create memorable work. I fully expect that this will be the indispensable biography of a very great American writer, for the spirit of the man is in the facts, and these, as gathered and marshaled by Bruccoli over thirty years, are all we will ever need. But more important, they are what we need. - James Dickey

""Impeccably researched...both comprehensive and judicious... Bruccoli brings Fitzgerald vividly alive."" - Newsweek

""This masterpiece contains exactly what we need to know about this dazzling figure."" - Publishers Weekly

""It is difficult to imagine any work on Fitzgerald and his literary product that will supplant this one."" - The New Yorker

""Indispensable and definitive."" - The Times Literary Supplement
