[LATIN AMERICA] [EL SALVADOR] DALTON, Roque; Kathleen Ross & Richard Schaaf, transl; Manlio Argueta, introdBiblio.com

Miguel Mármol Inscribed to Kendra Alexander

198759799New York: Curbstone Press 1987. First English Language Edition. First printing. Octavo. Tan cloth hardcover; dustjacket; xviii19-503pp. Inscribed on front flyleaf: "Para la camarada Kendra Alexander y adelante con la lucha solidaria con el pueblo Salvadoreño y Centroamerica" signed by Miguel Mármol dated 1988. Mild bumps to board corners a bit of rippling to cloth on spine still Near Fine a slightly faded but still Near Fine dustwrapper. A terrific association copy inscribed by Miguel Mármol to American communist and civil rights activist Kendra Alexander. Mármol 1905-1993 founding father of the Salvadoran Communist Party in 1930 and a leading figure of the Salvadoran worker-revolutionary movement for over five decades told his story over the course of several weeks in 1966 to the Salvadoran communist poet Roque Dalton. In his introduction Dalton who was assassinated in 1973 describes the experience as "one of the greatest satisfactions of my life" and the result was indeed one of the most popular and important works of Latin American revolutionary literature of the decade - Mármol's tumultuous life most of it spent in exile came both to exemplify and inspire the revolutionary movement in El Salvador and Central America. Though Miguel Mármol was first published in 1972 and went into numerous subsequent printings in Cuba and the Soviet Union there was no English-language translation until this 1987 edition from the small Latin-American publisher Curbstone. The cloth issue is hard to find and inscribed copies are rare; this a compelling association copy inscribed to the American civil rights leader and Communist Party leader Kendra Alexander 1945-1993 perhaps best-remembered as a close associate of Angela Davis whose Defense Committee she co-chaired during Davis's 1971 conspiracy trial. 59799.

Diaz del Castillo, Bernal (1492-1585)Biblio.com

The True History of the Conquest of Mexico By Captain Bernal Diaz del Castillo one of the Conquerors. Written in the year 1568

1800E0068viii514 pages with frontispiece map. Quarto 10 1/2" x 8 3/4" housed in a custom slipcase. Translated by Maurice Keatinge. First English edition. Bernal Dïaz del Castillo was a conquistador who wrote an eyewitness account of the conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards under Hernan Cortes himself serving as a rodelero under Cortes. Born in Medina del Campo Spain he came from a family of little wealth and he himself had received only a minimal education. He sailed to Cuba in 1514 to make his fortune but after two years found few opportunities there. Much of the native population of the island had already been killed by epidemics and forced labor and in 1517 an expedition was sent to the smaller Caribbean islands to find alternative sources of labor. Dïaz joined this group under the command of Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba. It was a difficult venture and although they discovered the Yucatan coast by the time the expedition returned to Cuba they were in disastrous shape. Nevertheless Dïaz returned to the coast of Yucatan the following year on an expedition led by Juan de Grijalva with the intent of exploring the newly discovered lands. Upon returning to Cuba he enlisted in a new expedition this one led by Hernan Cortes. In this third effort Dïaz took part in one of the legendary military campaigns of history bringing an end to the Aztec empire in Mesoamerica. During this campaign Dïaz spoke frequently with his companions in arms about their experiences collecting them into a coherent narration. The book that resulted from this was Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana English: The True History of the Conquest of New Spain. In it he describes many of the 119 battles in which he claims to have participated culminating in the fall of the Aztec Empire in 1521.As a reward for his service Dïaz was appointed governor of Santiago de los Caballeros present-day Antigua Guatemala. He began writing his history in 1568 almost fifty years after the events described in response to an alternative history written by Cortes's chaplain who had not actually participated in the campaign. He called his book the Verdadera Historia True History in response to the claims made in the earlier work. Dïaz died in 1585 without seeing his book published. A manuscript was found in a Madrid library in 1632 and finally published providing an eye-witness account of the events often told from the perspective of a common soldier. Today it is one of the most important sources in understanding the campaign that led to the collapse of the Aztec Empire and the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Condition:Spine renewed with new period spine label and original boards which the corners and edges are heavily rubbed some foxing to early pages. Frontispiece map repaired. Custom made red slipcase with Japanese toggles and leather spine label in gilt lettering else about a very good copy in a near fine case. Printed for J Wright by John Dean hardcover

There follow essays on assorted topics including pseudo-medicine "Quid sit medicina culinaris"; the Pugna porcorum this Battle of the Pigs being => a satirical poem written solely and perhaps preposterously with words beginning with P; while the Crepundia poetica is a collection of short poems on sundry subjects from doctors to astrologers.

Rea, Alonso de la (1610-1660?) from the library of Professor George M FosterBiblio.com

Crónica de la Orden de N. Seráfico P. S. Francisco Provincia de San Pedro y San Pablo de Mechoacán en la Nueva España

1882CA0128xv488 pages with appendices. Octavo 8 1/2" x 5" bound in quarter leather with gilt lettering to spine in stiff boards. From the library of Professor George M Foster. Second edition. Alonso de la Rea was born in Queretaro in 1610. He wrote his Cronica in 1637-1639 providing data on Michoacán and Jalisco. For many matters he leaned heavily on Torquemada who in turn had copied them from Mendieta. Ricard quoting an 18th century opinion mentions that Rea lacked interest in chronology to an excessive degree. His work was however an official and methodical chronicle of the province preserving considerable detail about it. Rea's Cronica . 1639 was first published in 1643 and is now a bibliographical rarity. The volume is divided into three books totaling 92 chapter. Book 1 describes the region products people their dealings with Aztecs their general traits religious rites the last native emperors and coming of the Spaniards. This is followed by arrival of the Franciscan missionaries with biographies of some of these pioneer friars. Book 2 begins with the division of the province between Michoacán and Jalisco 1606 and contains numerous biographies of the members of that order. Book 3 is also a series of lives and an account of the Custodio del Rio Verde. The second edition was published in Mexico 1882. It includes additional relevant documents in three appendices. At the end of the text there is a table of contents but no index. George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics including acculturation long-term fieldwork peasant economies pottery making public health social structure symbolic systems technological change theories of illness and wellness humoral medicine in Latin America and worldview. The quantity quality and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Provenance from the executor of Foster's library laid in. Condition: Foster's stamp to title. Corners bumped edge wear to boards rubbing to paper boards else a very good copy. Imprenta de J R Barbedillo hardcover
