The Other
Log in Brazil |
|
|
|
|
30
December
2009
Only
five different Farmer novels have been published in Brazil (index).
Maybe because the Portuguese books were imported and sold in
Brazil also, that no other books were published.
One of Brazilian publications is the translation of the novel The
Other Log of Phileas Fogg, which has been published by two
different publishers. As O
Outro
Diário de Phileas Fogg by Editora Global (1974)
and as O
Diário de Bordo de Phileas Fogg by Francisco
Alves (1987)..
None of the other Brazilian books have had the honor of being published
twice or even even being reprinted. Not even the in 1988 Nova Award
winning O
Planeta do Rio
(To
Your Scattered Bodies Go).
Not only did The Other
Log of Phileas Fogg have two editions, but also a reprint
of one of them. I just discovered that Editora
Global reprinted their publication O
Outro
Diário de Phileas Fogg in 1980 with a different
cover.

A
copy of the second printing of the German omnibus Bizarre
Beziehungen (Strange
Relations)
from the publisher Heyne (1993) has been found. We already had the
information about the third printing, but the second one was until now
missing in the bibliography.
The omnibus contains the novels Die
Liebenden (The Lovers) and Eine Frau pro Tag (A
Woman a Day), with the story collection Bizarre Beziehungen (Strange
Relations).

Thanks
to Fred Fischer (US) two more publications of the novel The
Lovers are known now, which brings the total amount
of publications of this book to 50.
Fred emailed me the information about the second printing of the
Ballantine/Del Rey paperback, of March 1981. And also about the second
printing of the Spanish publication, Los Amantes, from
publisher Orbis, 1986.
Strangest thing is, that I discovered that I do own a copy of the
second printing of the Orbis publication. It seems I had totally
forgotten to check the book and include the information in the
bibliography. This has been corrected with the updated information.

You
already could pre-order Riverworld
from Amazon, a book that will be published in March 2010 by Tor. This
omnibus includes the first two Riverworld novels, To
Your Scattered Bodies Go and The Fabulous Riverboat.
Now you also can pre-order the third Riverworld novel, The
Dark Design, from Amazon. Tor will publish this one in June
2010. List price is $17.99.
According to the list "Forthcoming Books through September 2010" in the
December 2009 issue of Locus,
issue 587, which also shows the above mentioned books, no more
Riverworld titles are planned till that month. We will have to wait if
and when they will be published by Tor.

2009
From
France I received three anthologies and three magazines, all with
stories by Phil. Five of these story publications were already known in
the bibliography, but the sixth is new. The story "Attitudes" (the
same title in French) has been published in the anthology Histoires de planètes,
which has had three printings. The one of March 1976 is new on these
pages.
When I'm finished restyling the book pages I will start redoing the
story pages. More information and more scans will be added on those
pages.
First I have to finish the last two book pages. Right now I am
working on the page of A Private Cosmos and then
at last on The Lavalite World.
Before I start on the story pages I will add a new page with eBooks and
Audio Books. So, lots of work to do.

2009
Just
for the month December only the Official PJF Home Page
has a 20% discount on all books that are for sale from Philip
José Farmer's Estate Sale. If you buy several
books the discount can go up to 40%.
Take a look at all those wonderful editions, many of which are signed
by Farmer. Now is the time to buy some of these books. So, if you want
the very rare hardcover edition of A Feast Unknown (The Fokker
D-LXIX Press, 1975) or the first hardcover edition of To
Your Scattered Bodies Go (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1971), or any
of the other books for reasonable prices, now is the time!

Recorded
Books (search for 'author': Philip Jose Farmer) brought in
2000 the first complete audio
version of the novel To
Your Scattered Bodies Go. It was then taped on six audio
cassettes.
That version has been republished in March 2008 on seven CDs. The price
is $44.95 for nearly eight hours recording.
In June 2009 Recorded Books published the second Riverworld novel, The
Fabulous Riverboat, on eight CDs. This recording of
nine hours will also cost you $44.95.
Both recordings can be downloaded from the website of www.audible.com
(search for Philip Jose Farmer) and will cost you $27.97 for
the first, and $24.49 for the second novel..
Recorded Books will bring the third Riverworld novel, The
Dark Design, as an Audio Book in March 2010. Narrator of all
recordings is Paul Hecht.
I have announced
it before this year, that maybe I should make a new page with
Audio Books and eBooks. I didn't know where to put all the new audio
and e-publications. This page is now in progress (= ready) of becoming
real. Very
soon I hope.
