When it was first published in 1932, "Memoirs of a British Agent" achieved bestseller status both in the United States and in Great Britain. R.H. Lockhart's account of the years he spent representing Britain's Foreign Office in Russia is still immensely entertaining and informative today. Lockhart was not an espionage agent; he was a diplomat. He was Britain's Vice-Consul in Moscow, then Acting Consul-General, then official "unofficial" representative to the new Bolshevik regime in Russia, between the years 1912 and 1918. Lockhart describes his attempts at rubber farming as a young man in Malaysia and the circumstances that led to his seeking a career in the Foreign Office. He was given the post of British Vice-Consul in Moscow shortly after joining the Service. In these memoirs, Lockhart gives us his insights into Russian culture and politics during the last years of Tzarist rule, the circumstances of Russia's participation in World War I, and Russia's descent into Bolshevism. Lockhart came to love the Russian people and consider Moscow his home while he witnessed the last Tzar unwittingly ensure his own downfall and the succeeding Provisional Government inevitably fail. He gives an honest account of the errors in British and Allied policies during these precarious years in Russia. We get a close-up view of the eternal rift between diplomatic knowledge and political imperative. "Memoirs of a British Agent" is a supremely literate and insightful first-hand account of the fascinating and turbulent time in Russia that gave birth to the Soviet Union through the eyes of a foreigner who knew many prominent members of both the Tzarist and Bolshevik regimes personally. Lockhart manages to convey great sympathy for Russians of various ideologies while at the same time speaking bluntly of their shortcomings. Rarely has a book that is so informative been so entertaining. "Memoirs of a British Agent" is a real page-turner. This edition has the benefit of an introduction, an epilogue and notes by the author's only son, Robin Bruce Lockhart and is lavishly illustrated with period photographs, many from family archives and some published here for the first time.

International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Sir Robert Hamilton Bruce Lockhart, KCMG (2 September 1887 - 27 February 1970) was a British diplomat, journalist, author, and secret agent. His 1932 book Memoirs of a British Agent became an international bestseller by telling of his experiences in Russia in 1918 following the Bolshevik Revolution. He left the country after he was accused of having led a failed plot to assassinate Vladimir Lenin, the so-called Ambassadors' plot, a charge which he always denied. Later research suggests that the "Lockhart Plot" was a sting operation orchestrated by Felix Dzerzhinsky with the goal of discrediting the British and French governments. This edition is fully illustrated and has an introduction, notes and an epilogue by Robin Bruce Lockhart. Ref A5 6. …

Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condición: Excelente. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Bien. Marlene Dietrich: Portraits 1926-1960. Epilogue by Josef von Sternberg. Fotografía. Alemán. Mosel Schirmer. From the beginning of her career in Berlin, in 1926, Dietrich has been a mistress of illusion. She has had a lot of help from gifted photographers like Richard Avedon, Alfred Eisenstaedt and Irving Penn. The epilogue to this collection of Dietrich photographs, written by the man who directed her in The Blue Angel and thus shaped both her career and her persona, is almost as fascinating as the pictures. Von Sternberg insisted on absolute control of every aspect of the films he directed, and the then-passive Dietrich was an ideal actress for him. His essay on her early years is an absorbing document on the creation of stars. Profusely Illustrated (ilustrador).…
