With greetings! Yours Helene Weigel and ‘The Berliner En- semble’“. The Berliner Ensemble is a theatre company established by Brecht and Weigel in Germany in 1949 and still operating today. The troupe visited London during the late summer of 1956, only a few weeks after Brecht’s death, where they performed Mother Courage, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, and Trumpets and Drums at the Palace Theatre. Critic Michael Billington later recalled it as one of the pivotal moments in post-war British theatre. Though Clark’s identity is unknown, he was obviously instrumental in assisting Weigel and her col- leagues during this important visit. £650 [77763] 59. which 2 are double-page.

This was done and a second issue produced with asterisks marking where the passages had been. Ironically these honest, fearful and touching lines are some of the best Sassoon ever wrote. As for Graves, of all the thousands of books written about the Great War none have achieved the lasting fame of this brilliant account written by a major author at the height of his powers. Connolly included the book in his list of 100 key books of the modern movement, noting the peculiar genius of an author to transform autobiography into art. £2,000 [79823]

There is no record of this translation being attempted, but the young De Bosis became obsessed with the figure of Icarus (and, by extension, Joyce’s Icarian character Stephen Dedalus). In 1928 he entered the literary competition of the Olympic Games with a classical drama entitled Icaro, for which he won the silver medal; it was a work of Ro- mantic mytho-politics in which the tyrant Minos bore obvious parallels to Mussolini, and the hero Icarus to De Bosis himself. Then, on 3 October 1931, after enduring a period of political exile for his support of Vic- tor Emmanuel III (De Bosis was posing as a concierge in a Rome hotel named after the king), De Bosis, though an inexperienced pilot, took to the skies over Rome in a plane (christened “Pegasus”) to bombard the city with antifascist leaflets. Through the agency of Mussolini’s air force, De Bosis completed his final flight in true Icarian style, plunging 444. first french edition, presentation 446. and Huebsch in New York, the play did not by Joyce himself, wielding the two rubber in flames into the Tyrrhenian sea. copy, of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. receive its first English-language production stamps “with great delight”.
