What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Sono qui raccolte, in modo organico, tutte le lettere di Amedeo Modigliani (Livorno 1884-Parigi 1920), i principali scritti che rimangono dell'artista. Dalle lunghe confidenze, pervase di slanci dannunziani e nietzscheani, inviate all'amico Oscar Ghiglia, alle brevi corrispondenze con il suo mecenate parigino Paul Alexandre, a cui scrive tra l'altro il celebre aforisma "la felicità è un angelo dal volto grave"; dalle righe asciutte e commoventi indirizzate alla madre ai messaggi allegri e disperati mandati al mercante Zborowski, dettati da esigenze pratiche, ma capaci di aprirsi a riflessioni non occasionali, questi scritti, nella loro essenzialità, disegnano un ritratto dell'artista più autentico di tante testimonianze romanzate. Vissuto a Parigi dal 1906 al 1920, l'anno della prematura morte a soli trentacinque anni, Modigliani è stato una figura leggendaria dell'età delle avanguardie. La sua arte, vicina al cubismo e al primitivismo, ma non dimentica dei maestri del Trecento e del Quattrocento toscano alla cui lezione attinge costantemente, ha esercitato un fascino ineguagliato, eppure è ancora oggi più nota che conosciuta, più famosa che realmente compresa.
