19440001144HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA. Good. 1944. On offer is an interesting World War II Nova Scotia Canada homefront five year diary with one and a half years of the five filled out and then abruptly stopped handwritten by Joyce Lohnes of Halifax.

They attend shows and keep company daily and very intriguingly Joyce writes short notes in shorthand after Tremaine goes home that only create wonder what this deeply religious girl is keeping secret.

In original blue cloth with gilt titling on spine. A very clean copy with crisp pages no foxing folds or tears prior ownership name on ffe. A very good copy of a scarce and important book detailing Shackleton's Ross Sea Party struggle for survival and completion of their mission. Rosove 188.A1.a.</p><p>A diary-based narrative of the depot laying journeys of the Ross Sea Party on Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic Endurance Expedition. Joyce was awarded the Albert Medal for his bravery during the expedition and in total visited the Antarctic for four expeditions. The South Polar Trail is the principal firsthand account of the Ross Sea shore party of Shackleton's 1914-17 expedition. This book is also a very good read.</p><p>Joyce was forthright courageous and tenacious of purpose; he was not given to fanfare but rather discharged his duties capably and quietly. He emerged strong and respected among the ten marooned men assuming moral leadership when Aeneas Mackintosh was disabled and again after his death. Most of Joyce's narrative is a recitation of his journals. Joyce was not concerned with literary style and his story is generally told in the simplest of terms. He could nevertheless communicate the drama of the moment. For example during the six-day holdup for the blizzard on the return to Mt. Hope the entire entry for 20 February is little over forty words – but cannot thousands be read between his lines: "Still blizzarding. Our position serious. Stores running out the sick men not improving in their sleeping bags the dogs weakening on account of being laid up: must halve their allowance. We are up against calamity: no kerosene for the Primus". -- The South Polar Trail p. 148.</p> Duckworth hardcover books

Fine copy in a fine dust jacket. From the publisher: “These essays were only recently recovered from the archives of the University of Padua by Louis Berrone of Fairfield University.

19272020144Paris: Shakespeare And Company 1927. Ninth Printing. Hardcover. fine. Octavo 738 pages later half green morocco green cloth pastel endpapers; bound by N. Papapetrum Chicago IL; ex libris Ary John Arlon M.D. <br/><br/>"Bloom is a universal comic character like Falstaff Daedalus is guilty adolescence - Connolly THE MODERN MOVEMENT 42." The book was sold to subscribers including Winston Churchill. "The most famous rejection came from George Bernard Shaw who claimed ULYSSES was 'a revolting record of a disgusting phase of civilization' and that no Irishman would ever pay 150 francs for this book or any other." Joyce continuously revised the book throughout the typesetting of the first printing. As a result of his revisions and French printers setting a book in English many mistakes crept into the text for which corrections were attempted again and again in subsequent printings. In fact arguably the author's finished text has yet to be published despite the so-called Definitive Edition published in 1996."ULYSSES was printed for Shakespeare and Company eleven times - Slocum & Cahoon 17." The U. S. " government based its case against the novel on the dual grounds of Joyce's use of Anglo-Saxon four-letter words and the erotic passages in Mollie Bloom's monologue. No one who has read ULYSSES could deny that Joyce reproduced the coarse language of Dublin's streets with a fidelity never before rendered in literature." - Alfred Haworth Jones.
