I found the book which follows - particularly the photographs - utterly fascinating. There is a common denominator to these faces you see: it's intelligence and to me intelligence always conveys a feeling of beauty and fulfillment a sense that things are working a little better than they have any right to work. And in most cases there is also an expression of happiness in the eyes. These are for the most part people who are being allowed to do for money what they would do for free and it shows."

25020107Amsterdam: Nico Israel 1976. First and Limited Edition. Leather bound. Near fine. One of 1000 copies folio size 257 pp. in a custom binding with clamshell box. The Nuremberg Chronicle also known as the "Liber Chronicarum" "is after the Gutenberg Bible probably the most celebrated of early printed books. It is a compendium of history geography and the wonders of the world as viewed from medieval Nuremberg with some 1800 illustrations provided by the multiple use for different subjects of 645 beautiful woodblocks." n.b. quote from "The Nuremberg Chronicle Designs" by Adrian Wilson printed for The Roxburghe Club of San Francisco and the Zamorano Club of Los Angeles 1969. <br /> <br /> Adrian Wilson known for his Press in Tuscany Alley one of the best of the San Francisco fine press printshops of its day here turned his considerable talents and experience in book design to the exploration of the page layouts for the Nuremberg Chronicle 1493. The story of the discovery of these layouts exemplars is herein recounted telling the story of how this magnificent book came into being. Wilson relates how he worked with the librarians who had custody of the German and Latin Chronicles the many serendipitous finds of stray pieces of the puzzle and the many with whom he worked to put all of these pieces into place. "With all the resources at hand we have attempted to reconstruct the making of the Nuremberg Chronicle: the compilation of manuscript sources by its author; the artists' first concepts for the illustrations; the patrons' agreements for financing the publication; the layouts; the printing; the advertising; the distribution and the final settlement." n.b. from the Preface p. 11. <br /> <br /> This copy with a unique custom binding by Ernest Hassbaum of Lodi 1913-1994. The volume is bound in full brown leather with a debossed wrap-around silhouette of presumably the skyline of medieval Nuremberg protected by a clamshell box with the same skyline in black leather laid onto the cloth covering. PLEASE NOTE: the first picture shown is our best attempt to depict the debossed skyline it is not representative of the colour of the leather binding. <br /> <br /> Selected as one of the Netherlands Fifty Books of the Year. <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Custom binding as described above with Hassbaum's name on the bottom front turn-in the spine with two slightly darker brown pieces of leather laid down one with the middle of the wrap-around skyline silhouette the other with the title and author debossed in black hand-made marbled endpapers at both front and back are reproductions of a medieval map on rust-coloured paper the lettering of the title on the title page by Hermann Zapf replete with reproductions of individual pages of the Chronicle both the exemplars and the final printed pages as well as other related illustrations most of them in black-and-white twelve pages in full colour with extensive Bibliography at the rear; Monotype Bembo printed offset on specially made ivory wove paper folio size 13 7/8" by 9 3/4" pagination: 2 printed map pages 3-8 9-253 1 blank 1 colophon 2 printed map pages one of 1000 copies unnumbered.

It is the main work of 'Lord Haw Haw' who was one of just three people convicted of treason in a British Court since the Second World War and one of just two executed for a crime other than murder since then. Joyce was hugely influential in Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists between 1934 and 1937 when he was sacked following poor results at the election of that year. In August 1939 he managed to flee to Nazi Germany where he eventually became the chief broadcaster of propaganda to Allied forces in which role he gained his nick-name and published this book which was distributed to prisoners of war.

This edition consists of stories by English writers and includes translation of " Counterparts" a story from "Dubliners".</p><p>Joyce's long and difficult journey to the Russian reader began with this publication. As for the translation of "Dubliners" into Russian here Joyce's collection of short stories was waiting for a difficult fate. After first publication in a small supplement of the magazine "Red Niva" the first separate edition of "Dubliners" appeared in 1927. Translated from English and foreword by E. N. Fedotova. Cover by George Fitingof. In the mid-30s the First Translation Association under the leadership of Ivan Kashkin began working on Joyce's collection "Dubliners". The collection was published in 1937 without specifying the names of the translators. The author of the afterword was forced to hide under a pseudonym. The names of the translators became known only in 1982 45 years after the first publication when a new edition of "Dubliners" was prepared in the appendix to the magazine "Foreign Literature".</p><p>Ex-library copy one page lost from last story.
