The New Yorker Magazine, New York City, NY, 1972

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 168 pages. Rare Ingmar Bergman and New Yorker Magazine collectible item. Landmark New Yorker Magazine October 21, 1972 Issue. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Contributions by some of the world's finest writers, journalists, poets, humorists, and graphic/cartoon artists. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Unlike most books being published today, American magazines are still being printed in America; many of them are not only superior in quality, they will last in terms of production values. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Ingmar Bergman's "Cries And Whispers" in a felicitous English translation. The very first appearance of Bergman's harrowing short story in published form. The basis of his great film, it is 20 pages long, and is the Issue's Main Feature. It deserves to be read on its own whether one has seen the film or not. The cover features "Blue", one of Saul Steinberg's greatest works. The magnitude of Ingmar Bergman's achievement cannot be overestimated and is matched (but not surpassed) by only three other film artists: Akira Kurosawa, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Robert Bresson. He helped make cinema the central art of the latter-half of the 20th century, ushering in a Second Golden Age, even if it lasted for only twenty-five years at the most. Ingmar Bergman died on July 30, 2007 at the age of 89, an irreplaceable loss to world culture (Antonioni died on the same day a few hours later, at the age of 94). Given the abysmal state and irreversible decline of contemporary cinema, there are no words to describe the loss of its single greatest figure. "The greatest film artist since the invention of the motion picture camera" (Woody Allen). An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Ingmar Bergman collectors. This Issue is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. A rare copy thus. The greatest film director of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER INGMAR BERGMAN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
