The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited…first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Elliot Ackerman's "Waiting For Eden". The third novel in what is, ostensibly, a War Trilogy for our time, preceded by "Green On Blue" (2015) and "Dark At The Crossing" (2017). "How often does one encounter a novel as perfectly shaped, as fresh, as subtle, and as explosive as this? I couldn't turn away from Elliot Ackerman's taut wonder, and when I got to the final page, I wanted to start all over again, in light of the haunting last words. Patiently, and unflinchingly, Ackerman is becoming one of the great poet laureates of America's tragic adventurism across the globe" (Pico Iyer). An absolute "must-have" title for Elliot Ackerman collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, placed, and dated in black pen-marker on the title page by the author: "7/10/19 NYC Elliot Ackerman". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed, placed, and dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. Finalist of the National Book Award in 2017 for "Dark At The Crossing". One of the most brilliant new voices in American literature. A fine copy.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. SCARCE SIGNED! UK EDITION! BOOKER PRIZE SHORT LIST. FIRST EDITION, third printing. Book is brand new and unread. Personally hand signed by the author, Pulitzer Prize winner, Paul Harding, directly to the full title page. NOT a tip in. NOT a bookplate. Dust…jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years or reading/collecting! Shortlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize Shortlisted for the 2023 National Book Award for Fiction From the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Tinkers, a novel inspired by the true story of Malaga Island, an isolated island off the coast of Maine that became one of the first racially integrated towns in the Northeast. In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discover an island where they can make a life together. Over a century later, the Honeys descendants and a diverse group of neighbors are desperately poor, isolated, and often hungry, but nevertheless protected from the hostility awaiting them on the mainland. During the tumultuous summer of 1912, Matthew Diamond, a retired, idealistic but prejudiced schoolteacher-turned-missionary, disrupts the community s fragile balance through his efforts to educate its children. His presence attracts the attention of authorities on the mainland who, under the influence of the eugenics-thinking popular among progressives of the day, decide to forcibly evacuate the island, institutionalize its residents, and develop the island as a vacation destination. Beginning with a hurricane flood reminiscent of the story of Noah s Ark, the novel ends with yet another Ark. In prose of breathtaking beauty and power, Paul Harding brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters: Iris and Violet McDermott, sisters raising three orphaned Penobscot children; Theophilus and Candace Larks and their brood of vagabond children; the prophetic Zachary Hand to God Proverbs, a Civil War veteran who lives in a hollow tree; and more. A spellbinding story of resistance and survival, This Other Eden is an enduring testament to the struggle to preserve human dignity in the face of intolerance and injustice. Signed by Author(s).

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Fine. Original registry book bound in grey Art Nouveau cloth. All edges marbled. The endpapers are printed with "The English Manufactory of Book and Register." The front cover bears the printed title "Ζυγολογιον" (Zugologion) in Greek. Occasional foxing, otherwise, a fine copy. Demy 8vo (22 x 15 cm). In Ott…oman Turkish (Arabic script). 52 pages are written out of approximately 200 blank pages, containing a complete report, one folding hand-drawn coloured map, and three tables. Extremely rare and unpublished Ottoman manuscript report documenting the Cholera Expedition organized by the Konya Province Medical Inspectorate during the epidemic in Prokopi (Ürgüp) in 1911 and presented to the Konya Sanitary Inspectorate on October 16, 1911. This detailed report offers a firsthand account not only of the cholera outbreak but also of other prevalent diseases in the region, including measles, frengi (syphilis, pox), various types of humma (fevers), and more than fifteen other conditions, along with notes on their frequency. It features a folded, hand-drawn, and coloured map titled Ürgüp Bölgesi Sağlık Haritası [i.e., Prokopi Region Sanitary and Epidemic Map], which provides invaluable information on the demographic structure of the area. The report also includes three statistical tables recording demographic, historical, and religious data under the headings "Muslim" and "Non-Muslim". Dated 1329 AH at the end of the first 10-page report. The second part is titled "Mecelle-i Memâlik-i Osmaniye'ye Ait Minvallere Cevabât Yazılarak Üsküp Kaymakamlığı'na Takdim Olunan Müslüman Sıhhiye Raporu" [i.e., Muslim Health Report Submitted to the Ürgüp (Prokopi) District Governor]. Following this, the next chapter, titled "Usûl-i Sıhhiye" [i.e., Sanitary Method], provides detailed information on various epidemics, their historical contexts, treatments, and preventive measures. The manuscript is highly legible, written neatly in black, blue, and red ink. The Ottoman lands, serving as a bridge between Asia and Europe, were repeatedly devastated by epidemic diseases that emerged at various times. In the 19th century, the primary source of these outbreaks was cholera morbus, which originated in India, in the lower Bengal delta between the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. By the early 19th century, cholera had become a global threat. It first appeared within Ottoman territories in 1822 and continued to reemerge in subsequent outbreaks. Due to its strategic geographic position, the Ottoman Empire was particularly vulnerable, and cholera caused significant loss of life throughout the 19th century. Even by the early 20th century, cholera remained a serious public health problem. The years from 1910 to 1913 marked one of the most disastrous periods in the history of the Ottoman Empire. The cholera epidemic was a major factor contributing to this calamity. Early cases were diagnosed on July 15, 1910, in Erzurum, imported from Russia, after which the disease quickly spread within the empire. Cholera reached Istanbul on September 1 and spread rapidly. This alarming situation necessitated the mobilization of all civilian and military resources. Despite these efforts, Istanbul, with its intense human traffic, became a major center of cholera in the empire. During the same period, cases also entered Iraq from Iran and spread from Italy to Libya, fueling outbreaks in adjacent regions. This wave of epidemic subsided by January 1911. According to official records, between July 15, 1910, and January 12, 1911, cholera claimed 4,023 lives. However, in May 1911, cholera reappeared in Samsun and rapidly spread throughout the empire, infecting 18,876 people, of whom 12,143 died. The crises continued through 1912 and 1913, years during which the foundations of the Ottoman Empire were further weakened by the Balkan Wars, military defeats, territorial losses, an influx of refugees, and the devastating toll of the ongoing cholera epidemic. Due to the chaos of the period.

Añadir al carritoTwo beautifully painted handscrolls on paper (I: 280 x 12,395; II: 280 x 13,290 mm.). [Japan]: 1840 (date of colophon). It is difficult to overstate the great beauty of these two illustrated scrolls depicting the life of Shinran, a key figure in Japanese Buddhism. The artist, while anonymous, was extremely skilled in portraying…scenes from Shinran's life, employing large amounts of gold, silver, sprays of golden mist (called kindei "golden mud") to depict clouds, and thick pigments to give 3-D effects. The images show architectural details; complex garden landscapes; the different seasons signalled by colorful flora; richly detailed attire; and luxuriously appointed interiors, wall paintings, silk screens, and sliding doors. The artist has also portrayed the faces of the priests and other participants in Shinran's life in remarkable detail, using varying hues for each face. Throughout the scrolls, the coloring is rich and vivid. Quite simply, these scrolls are of the highest quality, accomplished by a skilled and sensitive artist. Shinran (1173-1262) was a priest and founder of the J?do shinsh? ????, the True Pure Land sect. After initial studies at Mount Hiei - where he regularly circumambulated a statue of the Buddha Amit?bha and recited his name for 90 days - Shinran in 1201 became a disciple of H?nen ?? (1133-1212), the popularizer of Pure Land Buddhism in Japan. After being separated from H?nen when both were banished, and later by the latter's death, Shinran, "neither monk nor layman," married and raised a family, while preaching the practice of reciting the Buddha's name among the common people. Later, Shinran came to believe that the traditional practices of the bodhisattva path to Buddhahood were futile. "Shinran refers often to the single utterance that assures rebirth in the pure land. This utterance need not be audible, indeed not even voluntary, but is instead heard in the heart as a consequence of the 'single thought-moment' of shinjin [??, 'the mind of faith'], received through Amit?bha's grace."-The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism (2014), p. 808. After Shinran's death, the regional centers formed by his disciples eventually came under the control of the Hongan-ji temple, where a memorial cult surrounding Shinran took form. Our scrolls are products of this cult. The first scroll is divided into eight wide sections, each of which comprises text followed by exquisitely painted scenes that are much broader than the average shoulder-width scene of most scrolls. The second scroll has a similar structure and consists of seven sections, six of which contain accompanying images. The first section of the first scroll describes Shinran's family background and his entry into a Buddhist monastery. The second section shows Shinran's first visit to H?nen. The third depicts Shinran's meeting with the Boddhisattva Kanon (Guanyin) in a dream. The fourth describes how an associate of Shinran received a message in a dream suggesting that Shinran is an incarnation of Amit?bha Buddha. The fifth talks about how H?nen gave Shinran permission to copy his works and one of his portraits. The sixth and seventh sections focus on Shinran's establishment of his doctrine of shinjin, which only some of H?nen's disciples would accept. The final section describes one of Shinran's disciples painting his portrait. Again, evidence is presented suggesting that Shinran is an incarnation of Amit?bha Buddha. The first section of the second scroll discusses the prohibition of the Pure Land practices and H?nen's and Shinran's banishment. This is shown in a set of four images within the first section. The second section focuses on Shinran in exile in the northern part of Honsh? In one of the two images within this section Shinran is shown preaching to the common people in a snowstorm. In the third section, an enemy of Shinran is said to have plans to kill him, but ends up being converted instead. The image in the fourth section shows Shinran on his way back to Kyoto from banishment. In the fifth section, with two images, Shinran is in Kyoto, and in one of them we see him sitting in a temple building. Shinran's death is discussed and depicted in the sixth section, with people weeping and the monk's body lying on his tatami. In a second image within this section, Shinran's body is cremated, surrounded by a large group of followers. We believe the seventh section, which has no image, describes the establishment of a mausoleum for Shinran. Our scrolls follow earlier models but with variations in image. The example held by the city of Komatsu is dated to 1484 and is their oldest scroll. The copy in Isumi is even older, carrying colophons with the date 1344. The original was produced in 1295 by Kakunyo (1270-1351), one of Shinran's disciples. Our scrolls have a colophon dated June 1840. Two temples are named in the colophon: Enju-ji in Higo province (today's Kumamoto prefecture) and Yao Daishin-ji in Osaka. In fine condition; and preserved a beautiful lacquered wooden box with six gold inlays (a family crest employing peony images?).
