A deluxe edition of The Book of Dreams, the dream diaries kept by Federico Fellini, printed in 1000 numbered copies.
The dream diaries kept by Federico Fellini, in an edition of 1,000 numbered copies.
This is a new deluxe edition of the highly colorful journey into the boundless territory of a genius’s imagination, a work that added a fundamental element to the study of Federico Fellini and his creative experience. From the late 1960s until 1990, the great director used this diary to represent his nocturnal visions in the form of drawings, or, as he described them, “scribbles, rushed and ungrammatical notes.”
Currently on the market as a trade edition, this deluxe version will take the form of a facsimile of the two original books, which are kept in the Rimini Archives and will be exhibited in the new Fellini Museum. This edition will include the two books in their original size, a book with critical essays written for the new edition published in fall 2019, and the transcripts of the dreams together with a lithograph, all packaged in a box.
