› Find signed collectible books: '18th Century Highlanders'Book summary:The new 43rd Regiment formed in 1739 not only wore bonnets, but had short jackets in place of coats, and belted plaids instead of breeches. In addition to their firelocks and bayonets they were armed with Scots broadswords, pistols and dirks. In the early days a few of them may even have carried circular shields or targets. The British Army was never to be the same again. Stuart Reid explores the history, clothing and equipment of the 18th-century Highland regiments, in a text complemented by a multitude of photographs and illustrations, including full colour plates.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Age of Reason'Book summary:Thomas Paine's primary object in writing "The Age of Reason" was to call into question the conventional understanding of religion and to undermine the power of the Christian church. As provocative and controversial today as when Paine first wrote it, this incendiary work suggests what is necessary to transform religion into a social force that has its foundation in reason. [via]

The American Revolution: A Historyby Gordon S. WoodISBN 1842126806 (1-84212-680-6)
Hardcover, Weidenfeld & Nicolson
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The American Revolution: A History'Book summary:Gordon S. Wood's The American Revolution, part of the Modern Library Chronicles series, is an erudite, concise summary of the events and circumstances surrounding the seminal conflict, both physical and philosophical, in American history. The Modern Library Chronicles are accessible-but-serious works of scholarship, meant to serve as introductions (or refresher courses) on large subjects for interested readers. The American Revolution is an excellent case in point. Wood deftly describes seeds of the Revolution, most notably disgruntlement on the colonists' part brought about by increasingly maladroit and fiscally punishing British policies. He then follows the course of actual warfare and its aftermath, most interestingly the fraught, bitter battle to draw a governing blueprint for the new country.
Wood breaks little new interpretive ground himself, here, but as a synthesizer (and amiable, skillful narrator/guide) he stands on high ground. --H. O'Billovitch [via]

The Blue Flowerby Penelope FitzgeraldISBN 0006550193 (0-00-655019-3)
Hardcover, Flamingo
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Blue Flower'Book summary:Penelope Fitzgerald wrote her first novel 20 years ago, at the age of 59. Since then, she's written eight more, three of which have been short-listed for England's prestigious Booker Prize, and one of which, Offshore, won. Now she's back with her tenth and best book so far, The Blue Flower. This is the story of Friedrich von Hardenberg--Fritz, to his intimates--a young man of the late 18th century who is destined to become one of Germany's great romantic poets. In just over 200 pages, Fitzgerald creates a complete world of family, friends and lovers, but also an exhilarating evocation of the romantic era in all its political turmoil, intellectual voracity, and moral ambiguity. A profound exploration of genius, The Blue Flower is also a charming, wry, and witty look at domestic life. Fritz's family--his eccentric father and high-strung mother; his loving sister, Sidonie; and brothers Erasmus, Karl, and the preternaturally intelligent baby of the family, referred to always as the Bernhard--are limned in deft, sure strokes, and it is in his interactions with them that the ephemeral quality of genius becomes most tangible. Even his unlikely love affair with young Sophie von Kühn makes perfect sense as Penelope Fitzgerald imagines it.
The Blue Flower is a magical book--funny, sad, and deeply moving. In Fritz Fitzgerald has discovered a perfect character through whom to explore the meaning of love, poetry, life, and loss. In The Blue Flower readers will find a work of fine prose, fierce intelligence, and perceptive characterization. [via]

The Collected Poems of Lord Byronby George Gordon Byron ByronISBN 1853264067 (1-85326-406-7)
Softcover, Lb May & Assoc Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Collected Poems of Lord Byron'Book summary:'I mean to show things really as they are, not as they ought to be', wrote Byron (1788-1824) in his comic masterpiece Don Juan, which follows the adventures of the hero across the Europe and near East which Byron knew so well, touching on the major political, cultural and social concerns of the day.
This selection includes all of that poem, and selections from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the satirical poems English Bards and Scotch Reviewers and A Vision of Judgement. Paul Wright's detailed introductions place Byron's colourful life and work within their broader social and political contexts, and demonstrate that Byron both fostered and critiqued the notorious 'Byronic myth' of heroic adventure, political action and sexual scandal.

Le Rouge Et Le Noirby StendhalISBN 2035881374 (2-03-588137-4)
Softcover, Larousse Editions
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Le Rouge Et Le Noir'Book summary:Au rouge des armes, Julien Sorel préfèrera le noir des ordres. Au cours de son ascension sociale, deux femmes se singularisent, comme pour figurer les deux penchants de son caractère : Madame de Rênal - le rêve, l'aspiration à un bonheur pur et simple - et Mathilde de La Mole - l'énergie, l'action brillante et fébrile. A ces composantes stendhaliennes (conception de la vie qui dépasse la stratégie narrative pour s'étendre à l'existence de l'auteur) correspondent deux facettes stylistiques : la sobriété et la restriction du champ de vision. Dans cette Chronique de 1830, bien avant l'existence du cinéma donc, Stendhal alterne les prises de vue pour concilier réalisme et romantisme. Le Rouge et le Noir, portrait social, est également un roman de l'individualité où le regard des personnages sert de philtre au narrateur et où la cristallisation stendhalienne, cette phase irisée De l'amour, trouve un formidable support dans les champs, contrechamps, plongées et contre-plongées. Cette écriture visuelle ajoute à l'analyse une intelligence psychologique profonde. Inversement, le ton dépouillé permet au romantisme d'éviter le lyrisme abusif et de demeurer ironique envers la société sclérosée de la France de la Restauration. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Napoleon Bonaparte'Book summary:You won't come away from this energetic biography thinking much of the French emperor either as a man or as a general. Historian Alan Schom depicts Napoleon (1769-1821) as a cold-hearted manipulator: Schom's blistering accounts of the 1798-99 Egyptian campaign and the disastrous 1812 retreat from Russia show the French army decimated due to its leader's failure to inform himself about the lands he was invading or to properly plan for provisioning his troops. The fun of this book comes from vigorous prose that vividly evokes Bonaparte's titanic personality and the colorful band of schemers surrounding him. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Napoleon Bonaparte: A Life'Book summary:Filling a remarkable gap, Alan Schom, an acclaimed historian, scholar, and author, offers the most complete picture ever of Napoleon Bonaparte, "the scourge of Europe" and France's greatest hero. Based on more than ten years of exhaustive research, Schom illuminates Napoleon's important economic and social reforms, his reorganization of the French government, and his tempestuous personal life and its effect on his political decisions.Remarkably ambitious and compulsively readable, Napoleon Bonaparte covers every aspect of l'Empereur's life and career, from his childhood on Corsica to his dramatic rise to the throne of France, his campaigns of conquest to his final crushing defeat at Waterloo and death in exile on St. Helena. A lively and accessible text, Schom's book is generously illustrated with halftones and maps and features startling new insights about Napoleon's key aides, ministers, and generals. Schom portrays Napoleon with candor, exalting his ambition and undeniable genius, but also addressing his dark side -- his ego, his failures and frailties, and the misery caused by his years of warfare across Europe. Powerful, dramatic, colorful, and impossible to put down, Napoleon Bonaparte is a biography as complex, challenging, and fascinating as the legend himself. [via]

Phanomenologie Des Geistesby Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Hans-Friedrich Wessels, Heinrich ClairmontISBN 3787307702 (3-7873-0770-2)
Hardcover, F. Meiner Verlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Phanomenologie Des Geistes'Book summary:Wissenschaft der Erfahrung des Bewußtseins, so lautete der ursprüngliche Titel von Hegels erstem, 1807 erschienenen Hauptwerk. Noch während der Buchbindearbeiten wurde er abgeändert in Wissenschaft von der Phänomenologie des Geistes, unter dem das Buch heute bekannt ist. Ähnlich verwickelt wie die Titelfrage und die Entstehungsgeschichte sind Struktur und Aufbau des Werkes, das, wie schon von Zeitgenossen beobachtet wurde, zwischen der Individualentwicklung des zu sich kommenden Bewusstseins und der kollektiven Bildungsgeschichte der Menschheit unproportioniert schwankt.
Wollte man den Inhalt bündig zusammenfassen, könnte man vielleicht sagen, dass die Phänomenologie des Geistes darstellen will, wie das absolute Wissen, nach Hegel die vollkommene Übereinstimmung von Wissen und Gewusstem, in verschiedenen Gestalten des Bewusstseins erscheint und an ihnen sich auswirkt. Dieser Weg des Erscheinens, gleichsam die Odyssee des menschlichen Geistes, hat ihr eigenes Bewegungsgesetz, für das Hegel das Zauberwort Dialektik geprägt hat. Jeder erscheinende bewusstseinsmäßige Ausgriff auf einen Gegenstand, in dem Wissen und Gegenstand zur Deckung gelangen sollen, erweist sich als unzureichend, so dass jede Gestalt über sich hinausweist auf eine höhere, neue Bewusstseinsstufe, der sich die Erkenntnis wiederum anzugleichen hat. Erst wenn der Geist sich nicht nur anschaut, sondern sich wissend durchschaut hat, ist das Werden der Wissenschaft in der Philosophie vollendet.
Für die Erforschung des menschlichen Selbstverständnisses in der historisch gewachsenen, modernen Wirklichkeit, ist die Phänomenologie des Geistes ein einzigartiges Dokument. Lehrstücke wie die Dialektik von Herrschaft und Knechtschaft wurden zu einem Schlüsseltext marxistischer Gesellschaftskritik und bilden noch heute einen Anknüpfungspunkt in sozialphilosophischen Debatten. --Jens Kertscher [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Rights of Man'Book summary:Rights of Man is a classic statement of the belief in humanity's potential to change the world for the better. Published as a reply to Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, it differs from that great work in every relevant respect. Where Burke uses the language of the governing classes, Paine writes with the vigour of a self-taught mast-maker and exciseman. With passionate and rapier wit, Paine challenges Burke's assertion that society cannot be judged by rational standards and found wanting. Rights of Man contains a fully-costed budget, advocating measures such as free education, old age pensions, welfare benefits and child allowance over 100 years before these things were introduced in Britain. It remains a compelling manifesto for social change. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Three Musketeers: Being the First of the D'artagnan Romances; and Twenty Years After, a Sequel'Book summary:Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury A historical romance, The Three Musketeers tells the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman, D'Artagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of seventeenth century France are vividly played out in the background. But their most dangerous encounter is with the Cardinal's spy, Milady, one of literature's most memorable female villains, and Dumas employs all his fast-paced narrative skills to bring this enthralling novel to a breathtakingly gripping and dramatic conclusion [via]

Die Ilias (altgriechisch 8»¹¬Â Iliás, vermutlich Troerin ), eines der ältesten schriftlich fixierten Werke Europas, schildert einen Abschnitt des troianischen Krieges. Das Epos umfasst 24 Bücher bzw. Gesänge, wie diese Abschnitte seit der Übersetzung durch Johann Heinrich Voß bezeichnet werden. Die Ilias beruht auf frühgeschichtlichen Mythen und Erzählungen und wird Homer zugeschrieben (zur Verfasserschaft, auch hinsichtlich der Odyssee, siehe Homerische Frage). Die Ilias-Darstellung der Olympischen Götter dürfte erheblich zur Entwicklung einer nationalen griechischen Religion beigetragen haben und prägt bis in die Gegenwart die europäische Kunst- und Geisteswissenschaft.

Hardcover, F. Meiner Verlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Phanomenologie Des Geistes'Book summary:Wissenschaft der Erfahrung des Bewußtseins, so lautete der ursprüngliche Titel von Hegels erstem, 1807 erschienenen Hauptwerk. Noch während der Buchbindearbeiten wurde er abgeändert in Wissenschaft von der Phänomenologie des Geistes, unter dem das Buch heute bekannt ist. Ähnlich verwickelt wie die Titelfrage und die Entstehungsgeschichte sind Struktur und Aufbau des Werkes, das, wie schon von Zeitgenossen beobachtet wurde, zwischen der Individualentwicklung des zu sich kommenden Bewusstseins und der kollektiven Bildungsgeschichte der Menschheit unproportioniert schwankt.
Wollte man den Inhalt bündig zusammenfassen, könnte man vielleicht sagen, dass die Phänomenologie des Geistes darstellen will, wie das absolute Wissen, nach Hegel die vollkommene Übereinstimmung von Wissen und Gewusstem, in verschiedenen Gestalten des Bewusstseins erscheint und an ihnen sich auswirkt. Dieser Weg des Erscheinens, gleichsam die Odyssee des menschlichen Geistes, hat ihr eigenes Bewegungsgesetz, für das Hegel das Zauberwort Dialektik geprägt hat. Jeder erscheinende bewusstseinsmäßige Ausgriff auf einen Gegenstand, in dem Wissen und Gegenstand zur Deckung gelangen sollen, erweist sich als unzureichend, so dass jede Gestalt über sich hinausweist auf eine höhere, neue Bewusstseinsstufe, der sich die Erkenntnis wiederum anzugleichen hat. Erst wenn der Geist sich nicht nur anschaut, sondern sich wissend durchschaut hat, ist das Werden der Wissenschaft in der Philosophie vollendet.
Für die Erforschung des menschlichen Selbstverständnisses in der historisch gewachsenen, modernen Wirklichkeit, ist die Phänomenologie des Geistes ein einzigartiges Dokument. Lehrstücke wie die Dialektik von Herrschaft und Knechtschaft wurden zu einem Schlüsseltext marxistischer Gesellschaftskritik und bilden noch heute einen Anknüpfungspunkt in sozialphilosophischen Debatten. --Jens Kertscher [via]

Homero (Siglo IX a.C. - Sigl)
Poeta griego. Homero es el literato más famoso de la época arcaica, considerado el autor de dos de las obras más importantes de la Literatura Universal: la Iliada y la Odisea. Alrededor de su vida existe un halo legendario, especulándose incluso que no existió. La Iliada tiene 24 cantos y unos 15.000 versos mientras que la Odisea se queda en unos 10.000. Sobre Homero se han vertido ríos de tinta, siendo considerado como mero recopilador de los versos que componen sus obras o el autor de los poemas. Es difícil tomar partido por alguna de las dos opciones aunque parece que la segunda va tomando más consistencia entre los estudiosos. Incluso ahora se empieza a adjudicar a Homero la autoría de algunas obras arcaicas como La Tebaida o los Epígonos. [via]More editions of La Iliada / the Iliada:
