The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Textsby James P. Allen, Peter Der ManuelianISBN 9004137777 (90-04-13777-7)
Hardcover, Brill Academic Pub

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts'Book summary:"The Pyramid Texts" are the oldest body of extant literature from ancient Egypt. First carved on the walls of the burial chambers in the pyramids of kings and queens of the Old Kingdom, they provide the earliest comprehensive view of the way in which the ancient Egyptians understood the structure of the universe, the role of the gods, and the fate of human beings after death. Their importance lies in their antiquity and in their endurance throughout the entire intellectual history of ancient Egypt. This volume contains the complete translation of the "Pyramid Texts", including new texts recently discovered and published. It incorporates full restorations and readings indicated by post-Old Kingdom copies of the texts and is the first translation that presents the texts in the order in which they were meant to be read in each of the original sources. Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature. [via]

De Occulta Philosophia Libri Tresby Cornelius Agrioppa, V. Perrone CompagniISBN 9004094210 (90-04-09421-0)
Hardcover, Brill Academic Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'De Occulta Philosophia Libri Tres'Book summary:Agrippa's encyclopedic review "De Occulta Philosophia" expressed a fruitful contribution to the Renaissance philosophical discussion concerning the powers of magic and its relationship with religion. Agrippa' s proposal for a discriminating revival of magic tied up directly both with Ficino's and Pico's proclamation of a new "natural" magic and with Reuchlin's statement of the possible fusion of magic and religion. Agrippa aligned himself with this already widespread programme of reforming magic, but he also proposed an original approach, which broadens the ideas found in his sources of forging a much more generalized conception of magic's potentials. This edition of "De Occulta Philosophia" clarifies a number of controversies about the interpretation of this magical work and, more generally, of this Renaissance "magus", in whom scholarly curiosity stands side by side with a thoughtful revision of culture and a commitment, by no means superficial, to the intellectual and religious problems of his time.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Diary of Samuel Pepys: 1663'Book summary:The fourth volume of the complete Diary of Samuel Pepys in its most authoritative and acclaimed edition. This complete edition of the Diary of Samuel Pepys comprises eleven volumes - nine volumes of text and footnotes (with an introduction of 120 pages in Volume I), a tenth volume of commentary (The Companion) and an eleventh volume of Index. Each of the first eight volumes contains one whole calendar year of the diary, from January to December. The ninth volume runs from January 1668 to May 1669. The Diary was first published in abbreviated form in 1825. A succession of new editions, re-issues and selections, published in the Victorian ear, made the diary one of the best-known books, and Pepys one of the best-known figures, of English history. But in none of these versions - not even in the Wheatley, which for long stood as the standard edition - was there a reliable, still less a full text, and in none of them was there a commentary with any claim to completeness. This edition was in preparation for many years, and remains the first in which the entire diary is printed and in which an attempt has been made at systematic comment on it. The primary aim of the principal editors was to see that the diary was presented in a manner suitable to the historical and literary importance of its contents. At the same time they had in mind the interests of the wide public of English-speaking people to whom the diarist himself, rather than the importance of what he wrote, is what matters. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Diary of Samuel Pepys: Companion'Book summary:The companion volume to the complete Diary of Samuel Pepys in its most authoritative and acclaimed edition. Samuel Pepys's Diary was first published in abbreviated form in 1825. A succession of new versions brought out in the Victorian era made the Diary one of the best-known books and Pepys one of the best-known figures of English history. However, not until the publication of the Latham and Matthews edition was the Diary presented in its complete form, with a newly transcribed text and the benefit of a systematic commentary. The text of the Diary is in nine volumes, followed by this Companion and an Index. The edition has justly become established as the definitive version, hailed by The Times as 'one of the glories of contemporary English publishing' and by C. P. Snow as 'a triumph of modern scholarship'. The Companion has been compiled and edited by Robert Latham, with specialist contributions from other scholars. The result of many years' research, it is an essential adjunct to the Diary text. Over 1,700 entries, alphabetically arranged, fill in the background details about the people and places mentioned in the Diary. In addition there are longer articles on a wide range of subjects of particular relevance to Pepys and his period, such as the Great Fire, the Dutch Wars and the Plague. Others reflect Pepys's lively interest in the arts, science and medicine, and his work for the Navy. In addition, many aspects of social history are covered in articles on, for example, dress, food, drink, taverns and travel. The book is completed by an extensive glossary, genealogical tables, a chronology and maps. The Companion will not only enrich every reader's appreciation of Pepys's magnificent Diary, but forms in its own right a fascinating and varied survey of seventeenth-century England. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'El Club Dumas'Book summary:Lucas Corso is a bibliophilic mercenary in the middle to two searches. He needs to prove if a manuscript of The Three Musketeers is genuine. He must also find the solution to the enigma of a diabolic book, burned with the printer in 1667, and of which only two other copies are known. The mystery leads him from the Holy Office to books condemned by the Vatican; from dusty old bookstores to the most select libraries owned by important international collectors.
Description in Spanish: Descifrar el misterio de un libro que invoca al demonio, del que sólo quedan tres ejemplares en el mundo, se convirtió para Lucas Corso, comprador de libros antiguos por encargo, en peligrosa aventura. Pero por si esto fuera poco, un capítulo manuscrito de los tres mosqueteros de Alejandro Dumas entra en escena y se entremezclan historias para dar origen a un apasionante thriller al mejor estilo de Arturo Pérez-Reverte. "El club Dumas" (1993), una de las novelas más emblemáticas del autor, constituye un modelo ejemplar de utilización de los más genuinos ingredientes de la novela de intriga, de investigación criminal, ambientación histórica y ficción culturalista, además de ser un homenaje al maestro del folletín decimonónico, Alejandro Dumas. Esta novela ha sido llevada a la gran pantalla por Roman Polanski con el título "La novena puerta". [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Glass Palace'Book summary:Rajkumar is only a boy, helping out on a market stall in the dusty square outside the royal palace in Mandalay, when the British force the Burmese King, Queen and court into exile. He is rescued by a far-seeing Chinese merchant and with him builds up a great logging business in upper Burma. But haunted by his vision of the Royal Family and one of their attendants, he journeys to the obscure town in India where they have been exiled, and his family and friends become inextricably linked with theirs. Through the lives of the wider family and connections, an extraordinary story of this century is told: in Malaya, amid the vast rubber plantations, in India, among the growing nationalist feeling, in America where ideas of democracy and terrorist action, as well as business acumen, could be learnt. By the time World War II arrives, Rajkumar - who had made and lost several fortunes -has spread his family and influence from the great estate at Morningside where his son will be involved in the British collapse in Singapore, and one of his relations in the remarkable rebellion of the Indian troops against their British officers. Another of the great characters, the formidable Indian widow, Uma, becomes a spearhead of the Indian nationalist movement and provides a final refuge for the battered remnants of the family as they flee from Burma before the Japanese advance in a horrifying trek across appalling terrain. And it is his grand-daughter who survives that experience who brings the readers back to contemporary Burma, and completes the circle of the family started so long ago in Mandalay. Amitav Ghosh, author of "The Calcutta Chromosome" and "The Shadow Lives", makes his great cast of characters live in readers' minds, and peoples and illuminates the extraordinary, turbulent history of the Burmese over the last 100 years.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Relato De Un Naufrago / the Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor'Book summary:Aunque conocida con este título abreviado, el verdadero título de esta obra, mucho más largo, resume perfectamente la historia: Relato de un náufrago que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa sin comer ni beber, que fue proclamado héroe de la patria, besado por las reinas de la belleza y hecho rico por la publicidad, y luego aborrecido por el gobierno y olvidado para siempre. Publicado por entregas en El Espectador de Bogotá en 1955 y más tarde en libro (en 1970), no una novela, sino un reportaje periodístico que da cuenta de un suceso real. Con impecable técnica literaria y profesional estilo noticioso, García Márquez relata un suceso acaecido a un marinero de la armada colombiana llamado Luis Alejandro Velasco. La historia, reconstruida minuciosamente por el escritor sudamericano en primera persona a partir del testimonio del protagonista, fue tácticamente atribuida a éste en la prensa y sólo legitimada tras el formidable éxito de Cien años de soledad.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sexual Life in Ancient China: A Preliminary Survey of Chinese Sex and Society from Ca. 1500 B.C. Till 1644 A.D.'Book summary:In 1961 Robert van Gulik published his pioneering overview of "Sexual Life in Ancient China," This edition of the work is preceded by an elaborate "introduction" by Paul Rakita Goldin assessing the value of Van Gulik's volume, the subject itself, and its author. The introduction is followed by an extensive and up-to-date "bibliography" on the subject, which guides the modern reader in the literature on the field which appeared after the publication of Van Gulik's volume. One of the criticisms in 1961 regarded the Latin translations of passages deemed too explicit by Van Gulik. In this 2002 edition all Latin has for the first time been translated into unambiguous English, thus making the full text widely available to an academic audience. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Signor Marconi's Magic Box: How an Amateur Inventor Defied Scientists and Began the Radio Revolution'Book summary:Gavin Weightman tells the story of how Guglielmo Marconi invented the wireless - and how it amused Queen Victoria, saved the lives of the Titanic survivors, tracked down criminals and began the radio revolution. The wireless was one of the most fabulous inventions of the 19th century: the public thought it was magic, the popular newspapers regarded it as miraculous, and the leading scientists of the day (in Europe and America) could not understand how it worked. In 1897, when the first wireless station was established by Marconi in a few rooms of the Royal Needles Hotel on the Isle of Wight, nobody knew how far these invisible waves could travel through the "ether", carrying Morse coded messages decipherable at a receiving station. (The definitive answer was not discovered until the 1920s, by which time radio had become a sophisticated industry filling the airwaves with a cacophony of sounds - most of it American). Marconi himself was the son of an Italian father and an Irish mother (from the Jameson whiskey family); he grew up in Italy and was fluent in Italian and English, but it was in England that his invention first caught on. Marconi was in his early twenties at the time (he died in 1937). With the "new telegraphy" came the real prospect of replacing the network of telegraphic cables that criss-crossed land and sea at colossal expense. Initially it was the great ships that benefited from the new invention - including the Titanic, whose survivors owed their lives to the wireless. [via]

The Spanish Armadasby Winston GrahamISBN 0002218429 (0-00-221842-9)
Hardcover, Collins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Spanish Armadas'Book summary:The story of the Spanish Armada, sent crashing to destruction in stormy seas by English battleships, is one of the most famous and popular of British history. Philip II of Spain's crusade to conquer Protestant England was the culmination of an undeclared war between the two nations which had simmered for years. The dramatic destruction of the Spanish fleet by Howard, Drake and their men ensured that England kept her political and religious freedom - but it was not the end of the story. This history places the Spanish Armada in its true context, as the most spectacular of Spain's continued attempts to return England to Catholicism, first through friendship, then by marriage and finally through war. It explains that the 1588 battle was only one in a series of Spanish naval campaigns against England - it was not until the 17th century that peace was fully assured. Winston Graham, author of the Poldark novels, brings all his gifts as a storyteller to this fascinating work, making the momentous sea battles come to life and telling a tale of human hostility and passions.

A Vanished Worldby Wilfred ThesigerISBN 0007108370 (0-00-710837-0)
Hardcover, Harpercollins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A Vanished World'Book summary:A beautifully produced volume of Wilfred Thesiger's finest portraiture of tribal peoples taken over decades of travel in some of the remotest areas on the planet. Wilfred Thesiger's superb portraits of tribal peoples have earned him worldwide recognition as a photographer. Using a simple box camera which had belonged to his father, Thesiger began his photographic career during a short hunting trip in Ethiopia in 1930 and used the same camera to photograph hostile Danakil tribesmen when he returned three years later to explore the Awash river. Whilst in the Sudan, and now equipped with a Leica 35mm, Thesiger portrayed the Muslim tribes in Nothern Darfur, pagan Nuer in the Western Nile swamps and Nuba wrestlers. Among Ethiopia's Danakil he had travelled as a European accompanied by servants, but here he lived increasingly on equal terms with his followers and his photography mirrors this changed attitude. The dramatic visual impact of Arabia's deserts fully awakened Thesiger's latent talent for portraiture and composition. During his five years in Arabia from 1945-50 he was able to depict his Bedu companions with a sensitivity and power only suggested by his pre-war photographs. Conceived in the harshest of settings, these Arabain pictures bear eloquent testimony to the inspirational effect the desert had upon this great traveller. In contrast, tranquil images of reeds, waterways and lagoons characterize Thesiger's matchless portraits of the Marsh Arabs of Iraq -- in which he captures a world which has now completely disappeared. In the seldom visited regions of Kurdistan, Pakistan and Afganistan Thesiger took many photographs of their striking inhabitants who remained thoroughly unselfconscious in front of the camera -- as did the graceful tribespeople of northern Kenya and Tanzania later in Thesiger's eventful life. These unique portraits were all taken under exceptional conditions. Together they provide a magnificent pictorial record of diverse cultures and vanished worlds. [via]

Hardcover, Aarhus Universitetsforlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Woven into the Earth: Textiles from Norse Greenland'Book summary:One of the century's most spectacular archaeological finds occurred in 1921, a year before Howard Carter stumbled upon Tutankhamun's tomb, when Poul Norlund recovered dozens of garments from a graveyard in the Norse settlement of Herjolfsnaes, Greenland. Preserved intact for centuries by the permafrost, these mediaeval garments display remarkable similarities to western European costumes of the time. Previously, such costumes were known only from contemporary illustrations, and the Greenland finds provided the world with a close look at how ordinary Europeans dressed in the Middle Ages. Fortunately for Norlund's team, wood has always been extremely scarce in Greenland, and instead of caskets, many of the bodies were found swaddled in multiple layers of cast off clothing. When he wrote about the excavation later, Norlund also described how occasional thaws had permitted crowberry and dwarf willow to establish themselves in the top layers of soil. Their roots grew through coffins, clothing and corpses alike, binding them together in a vast network of thin fibers - as if, he wrote, the finds had been literally sewn in the earth. Eighty years of technical advances and subsequent excavations have greatly added to our understanding of the Herjolfsnaes discoveries. Woven into the Earth recounts the dramatic story of Norlund's excavation in the context of other Norse textile finds in Greenland. It then describes what the finds tell us about the materials and methods used in making the clothes. The weaving and sewing techniques detailed here are surprisingly sophisticated, and one can only admire the talent of the women who employed them, especially considering the harsh conditions they worked under. While Woven into the Earth will be invaluable to students of medieval archaeology, Norse society and textile history, both lay readers and scholars are sure to find the book's dig narratives and glimpses of life among "the last Vikings" fascinating.

A caballo entre dos siglos, la edad vieja, duecuento, y la nueva, trecento, se funden en su obra. De la primera recoge la sutil tematica -stilnovista-, irradiando su propia erudicion en todos los campos del saber; el trecento manifiesta una concepcion mas moderna del gusto, un interes mas discreto para los clasicos y una vision mas amplia de la vida moral. La comoposicion de la Divina Comedia ocupo los ultimos quince anos de la vida de Dante, convirtiendose en un empeño de caracter cientifico, filosofico, teologico e historico, a la vez que en una experiencia ascetica que acomete el alma del poeta.

It begins as a "will-o'-the-wisp" goes to ask the Childlike Empress for help against the Nothing, which is spreading all over. The Empress is ill, which may be the cause of the Nothing. She then reveals that the only thing that can save Fantastica is a human child, who must give her a new name to restart the cycle of life. Thus, Bastian re-names the Empress 'Moon Child'; and helps re-build Fantastica with his imagination. Description in Spanish: El Reino de la Fantasia esta en un serio peligro: pronto va a desaparecer sin que sus habitantes puedan evitarlo. Solo hay un ser que podria ayudarles.

Elena Poniatowska se dedico, pues, a oir las multiples voces de los protagonistas -indiferentes, solidarias, quejumbrosas o airadas- y compuso este enorme testimonio colectivo, que, a la manera de un coro plural, da la relacion de los hechos. Desde cualquier punto de vista o posicion que adopte ante lo sucedido en esos dias, el lector sentira que esta obra de algun modo le concierne y lo reclama. Estudiantes, obreros, padres y madres de familia, profesores, empleados, soldados y hombres de Estado, en fin, diversos componentes de la sociedad mexicana, aportan su modo de ver, sentir y considerar los acontecimientos. No se trata de emitir un juicio general, sino de recoger la experiencia misma y su reflejo en la memoria de muchos. Los testimonios fueron fielmente transcritos: las palabras vibran en la pagina con su textura y su tono oral. Este es un libro que sera oido mas que leido. Un libro que no podemos dejar de oir. 11a edicion corregida. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Relato De Un Naufrago / the Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor'Book summary:Aunque conocida con este título abreviado, el verdadero título de esta obra, mucho más largo, resume perfectamente la historia: Relato de un náufrago que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa sin comer ni beber, que fue proclamado héroe de la patria, besado por las reinas de la belleza y hecho rico por la publicidad, y luego aborrecido por el gobierno y olvidado para siempre. Publicado por entregas en El Espectador de Bogotá en 1955 y más tarde en libro (en 1970), no una novela, sino un reportaje periodístico que da cuenta de un suceso real. Con impecable técnica literaria y profesional estilo noticioso, García Márquez relata un suceso acaecido a un marinero de la armada colombiana llamado Luis Alejandro Velasco. La historia, reconstruida minuciosamente por el escritor sudamericano en primera persona a partir del testimonio del protagonista, fue tácticamente atribuida a éste en la prensa y sólo legitimada tras el formidable éxito de Cien años de soledad.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Arvet Efter Arn'Book summary:Ingrid Ylva blev en legend redan i sin livstid vid mitten av 1200-talet. Hon var en av flera starka änkor som styrde riket efter de blodiga segrarna mot Danmark. Om henne sades att hon var trollkunnig och att så länge hon höll sitt huvud högt skulle intet ont drabba folkungaätten. Med järnvilja fostrade hon sina söner i en skoningslös tid där den starkares rätt var den enda lag som gällde. Att just en av hennes söner till slut skulle segra i maktkampen kunde inte ha förvånat någon. Men med en hänsynslöshet som till och med skrämde hans samtid krossade Birger Magnusson maffiaväldet för all framtid. Och de lagar han stiftade om hemfrid, kyrkofrid och kvinnofrid blev rikets norm för 600 år framåt. Historien känner honom som Birger Jarl, Stockholms grundare och Sveriges skapare. Men sagan om Birger är mycket större än så. Arn Magnusson må ha varit ett helgon. Det var sannerligen inte Birger. Men han var en segrare som inte vek undan för moraliska eller praktiska hinder på sin väg från yngling i Västra Götaland till riksbyggare. Arvet efter Arn är en vacker och blodig riddarsaga där marken skälver under dundrande hästhovar och skummet yr om korsfararnas fartygsbogar på väg österut. Det är också berättelsen om förlorad kärlek som en del av maktens höga pris. Detta är en fristående fortsättning på Jan Guillous trilogi om riddare Arn Magnusson. Trilogin har på bara några år sålt i över 1 miljon exemplar i Sverige. Böckerna är under utgivning i de nordiska länderna samt i Holland, Tyskland, Italien, Frankrike, Spanien och England. [via]
