Monolit
1 the Third |
|
|
18 Feb
2015
 We
already had two different publications of the Yugoslavian anthology Monolit 1. It
contains Phil Farmer's story "Skice
među ruševinama mog uma" ("Sketches Among the Ruins of My
Mind").
Further search brought a third publication of this anthology.
Monolit
2
also had three publications or printings, so I expected the same for
the first book in the series. It took a while to find the proof for
that. The third publication was added on the story page.

Ralf's
list part 4: To Your Scattered Bodies Go |
|
|
12 Feb
2015
My
German friend Ralf Lux keeps me working, by
sending again new and additional
information. But first I want to finish the first, big list of him.
From that list comes the four parts publication of To
Your Scattered Bodies Go, with the translated title Idite
svojim rasutim telima, in the Yugoslavian science fiction
magazine Alef.
It was published in the issues #5 (December 1987), #6 (January 1988),
#7 (February 1988) and issue #8 (March 1988).
Normally I put a serial publication on the short fiction pages, at
least if the original story was published in a series. In this case I
added the Yugoslavian publication on the book page, like I did with the
Polish serial publication of the same novel.
I'm not yet ready with Ralf's list, next come some stories published in
Bulgaria and more from Yugoslavia.

 Ralf
Lux (Germany) came with more proof about the second cover of the
Yugoslavian anthology Monolit
1. The cover pictures show the same scene, of a
woman between snakes. But that alone was not
enough.
It seems that the sites that show this cover for Monolit 3 are wrong.
We saw other covers for it.
At least three reliable sources tell this cover to be the one off the
second edition of Monolit
1. Reason why I now include the cover with the story.
Happy Ralf? Und vielen Dank auch!

Ralf's
list part 3: Yugoslavia |

2015
In
the 1980s editor and publisher Boban Knežević self-published the
anthology series Monolit
in former Yugoslavia. He started the series before Yugoslavia fell
apart in seven
different countries. Knežević published ten of these anthologies. In
the
first two numbers of the Monolit
series he published two stories by Filip Hozé Farmer.
In Monolit 1
is the novelette "Skice
među ruševinama mog uma", a translation of "Sketches Among the Ruins of My
Mind".
The information on the
internet about
this book is a bit confusing. It seems that the book was published with
two different covers, but the information is not conclusive. The second
cover below could be the second cover of Monolit 1, in 1984
or in 1987. But is also used as the cover of Monolit 3 in 1987.
Because of the inconsistencies I left this cover out in the
bibliography. (corrected,
see next entry)

In Monolit 2
is another story of Filip Hozé Farmer, the novella "Jahači rumene nadnice",
a translation of "Riders of
the Purple Wage".
The anthology comes with two different covers in 1984, and has been
reprinted in 1986 with another cover illustration.

Five
Japanese books |
|
|
5 Feb
2015
This
week five odd little books arrived at my home. The first five Japanese books
in my Phil Farmer collection. Odd, because the books are all very small
paperbacks (15×10,5cm) with a dustjacket. And I cannot make a
thing from the to me very strange Japanese characters. Fortunately
there is also a copyright page with a bit of information in English.
Farmer's name in Japanese is フィ
リップ・ホセ・ファーマー
The old cover pictures were replaced with these new scans. I'm trying
to get more Japanese editions and just ordered an anthology.
I saw that I still have to restyle the book page with The
Dungeon titles. Soon I hope.

1 Feb
2015
There
are too many items in the email from Ralf
Lux (Germany), see previous entry, to check and add all these items in
one turn. I have to do it in parts. For now the following stories have
been added.
 Two
publications of a Lithuanian translation, "Antradiento Pasaulis"
(1991 and 1998), of "The Sliced-Crosswise Only-on-Tuesday World". The
same story had also a Yugoslavian translation, "Svijet samo utorkom"
in the magazine Sirius
#5 (1976).
Next we added a Yugoslavian publication of "Sjenka svemira", a
translation of the story "The Shadow of Space", published in Sirius #56 (1981).
Plus another Yugoslavian translation of the novella "Riverworld" with
the title "Rečni
svet". This one was published in the magazine Alef #23 in 1991.
As the last one this time the Swedish translation of "The Alley Man",
with the
title "Gubben Paley"
in the anthology Det
hände i morgon 3 (1974).
