von Braun, Wernher; Fred L Whipple: Willy LeyBiblio.com

Conquest of the Moon

1953140947434New York: The Viking Press 1953. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good. First edition first printing. Signed by Wernher von Braun on the title page. viii 126 pp. Bound in publisher's green cloth stamped in silver. Very Good with moderate wear and soiling to covers 1-3/4 inch tear to lower edge of contents page. Gift inscription dated 1984 to half-title page. Offsetting from two newspaper clippings taped to facing page likely indicating occasion of book's signing. In a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with moderate edgewear and toning. Dr. Wernher von Braun was a brilliant and visionary German engineer and onetime SS Stormbahnfuerer who led the V-2 ballistic missile program during the Second World War. He convinced his colleagues to surrender themselves and their materials to the Americans after the war ignoring orders to kill themselves rather than fall into enemy hands. The Americans knew a good thing when they saw it and smuggled 118 German scientists one hundred V-2s and tons of related components and documents out of the country. To Stalin's fury the Soviets were left only with lower-level rocket scientists to press into service hindering their performance in the Space Race years later. Once in the United States von Braun spent fifteen years working for the United States Army on ballistic weapons but his true passion was space travel. He once told a group of British journalists: â€œThe V-2 was a fine rocket. The only thing wrong with it was that it landed on the wrong planet.â€ Frustrated with being sidelined von Braun convinced Collierâ€™s associate editor Cornelius Ryan whom he met at a symposium on space medicine in San Antonio to run a series on space travel. The magazine series provided the material for The Conquest of the Moon published in 1953 by Viking. Neil Armstrong read the book when he returned from his tour of duty in Korea and it influenced his decision to become an astronaut. Von Braunâ€™s work co-written with popular science writers and beautifully illustrated by Chesley Bonestell inspired the U.S. government as well. In 1960 President Eisenhower transferred von Braunâ€™s rocket development group from the Army to the newly established National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA separating space science from military science for the first time. Von Braun became the director of the Marshall Space Flight Center and was in charge of developing the Saturn space boosters used as the launch vehicles for the Apollo Moon program. His work was essential in the competition with the Soviet Union and the former Nazi was lauded as a national hero. The Viking Press unknown

The Exploration of Mars

1956140947438New York: The Viking Press 1956. First Edition. Near Fine/Good. First edition first printing. Signed by Wernher von Braun on the half-title page and inscribed to a young recipient: "Your Uncle Stu has told me of your interest in rockets and satellites. Good luck. Christmas 1958." x 176 pp. Bound in publisher's green cloth titled in silver on the spine blindstamped rocket design to front board. Near Fine with light soiling to covers rubbing to corners and softening to head and tail of spine. Contents lightly toned. In a Good unclipped dust jacket with moderate edgewear creasing and horizontal tears to fold lines and spine and chipping at fold ends and head and tail of spine. Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun a Prussian aristocrat and SS Stormbahnfuerer who was spirited to the United States after the Second World War was one of the most important rocket developers of the 20th century. His passion had always been space exploration but during the 1940s he was charged with the development of the ballistic missiles that terrorized London during the final months of the war. After surrendering to the Americans in 1945 in order to safeguard his legacy and scientific work and himself von Braun was frustrated to spend the next few years cooling his heels with fellow German scientists in Texas and Alabama. He told one of his colleagues: â€œWe can dream about rockets and the Moon until Hell freezes over. Unless the people understand it and the man who pays the bill is behind it no dice.â€ Von Braun wrote the book The Mars Project in order to spark public enthusiasm for his project. Eighteen publishers turned it down but von Braun had a stroke of luck when he met Cornelius Ryan associate editor of Collierâ€™s magazine at a symposium on space medicine in San Antonio. Ryan was impressed with the German engineerâ€™s vision and the magazine published eight influential features on space travel over the next two years starting March 1952 in which von Braun essentially outlined the future of NASA. Those features were expanded into the book The Conquest of the Moon in 1953 and by the time Viking published The Exploration of Mars in 1956 von Braun had become a national figure appearing on a â€œTomorrowlandâ€ feature on Disneyâ€™s popular television show watched by tens of millions of people. The book was co-written with his Collierâ€™s collaborators Willy Ley who had fled Nazi Germany in 1935 to become a science fiction and popular science writer in the United States and the astronomical artist Chesley Bonestell. The Christmas 1958 inscription to little Jimmy was written at the end of a momentous year for von Braun: on January 31 after years of development the satellite Explorer I was successfully launched into orbit. Americans were thrilled and The American Weekly ran von Braunâ€™s autobiography in three installments. The story was turned into the 1960 biopic I Aim at the Stars which inspired Kennedy speechwriter Mort Sahl to quip that Wernher von Braun had aimed for the stars but sometimes hit London.

REINHARDT, Django - RONIS, Willy (photo).Biblio.com

Django Reinhardt et son fils Babik.

1945150388Paris: Willy Ronis 1945. Django and son Captivating and deeply compatissant image of Django with his young son Babik captured in 1945 by the celebrated French photographer Willy Ronis. At the time Django and his wife Naguine "were living in such a crummy cramped apartment in Paris Ronis was forced to shoot the image in a mirror to have space to capture them both" Dregni p. 102. Willy Ronis 1910-2009 "has been called 'the most poetic photographer of the menu peuple this century'. He travelled little preferring his native France better still his native Paris and best of all the patch around Belleville-Ménilmontant where he could photograph the local people of the 'popular classes' with whom he felt such a gentle affinity. Ronis was born in Paris the son of a Jewish refugee from Odessa who had a photographic studio near the Place de la Nation. His first love was music. He learned the violin and studied composition but his studies were interrupted in 1932 when his father fell ill and he took over the studio. He later claimed to find a resemblance between music and photography in 'the taste I have for composition particularly counterpoint. Many of my photographs are taken from above either looking down or up three planes in one image like three different melodies in a fugue which work together to give the piece structure and harmony'" The Guardian obituary. Distinguished jazz historian James Lincoln Collier remarks that Reinhardt is "without question the single most important guitarist in the history of jazz and probably would be named on most lists of all-time jazz greats. Despite a crippled left hand he had a solid technique; his melodic conception was formidable. and his ability to swing was immense". Original silver gelatin print image size: 316 x 260 mm sheet size: 400 x 305 mm verso with Ronis's studio wet stamp and pencilled inventory numbers. One or two minor creases otherwise in excellent condition.

First edition - presentation-copy and one of 175 numbered copies on Hollande premier papier out of a total of 725 numbered copies - of Colette's fascinating novel "Chéri" published at the dawn of the roaring 20'ies. The scandalous novel which portrays the love between an older woman and a much younger man is partly inspired by Colette's own life and is considered one of her very best works. Extremely controversial as a person Colette has always been the object of fascination as well as controversy. In 1893 she married Henry Gauthier-Villars who was already a famous author and publisher. He used the pen-name "Willy" under which Colette's famous first novels the Claudine-stories also appeared. Colette and Willy separated in 1906 with a final divorce in 1910. Colette is well known for the series of lesbian relationships she embarked upon after her separation. In 1912 however she married Henry de Jouvenel editor of Le Matin and took his name. Not for her publications but she clearly used it in her personal correspondence. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1924 however due partly to her affair with her 16-year-old stepson Bertrand de Jouvenel. Chéri is partly based upon her experiences with her much younger stepson. " 'Me a feminist' She scoffed in 1910. 'I'll tell you what the suffragettes deserve: the whip and the harem'. COLETTE is an intriguing and flamboyant figure. Born in Burgundy in 1873 she moved to Paris at the age of twenty with her husband the writer and critic Henry Gauthiers-Viller Willy. Forcing Colette to write Willy published her novels in his name and the Claudine series became an instant success. She escaped her exploitative first husband to live by her pen and work in music-halls as a dancer. Colette had a lesbian love affair with a niece of Napoleon's she married three times had a baby at 40 and at 47 preferring 'passion to goodness' she seduced her teenage stepson. In the meantime she wrote stunning novels that were admired by Proust and Gide -- Gigi Sido Cheri and Break of Day. Colette lived to be over 80. She was the first woman President of the Academie Goncourt and was the first woman in France to be accorded a state funeral." "Colette in full Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette 1873 - 1954 outstanding French writer of the first half of the 20th century whose best novels largely concerned with the pains and pleasures of love are remarkable for their command of sensual description. Her greatest strength as a writer is an exact sensory evocation of sounds smells tastes textures and colours of her world. Her best work was produced after 1920 and followed two veins. The first vein followed the lives of the slightly depraved postwar younger generation. Among these novels are Chéri 1920 and La Fin de Chéri 1926; The Last of Chéri dealing with a liaison between a young man Chéri and an older woman. Encycl. Britt. René Baer 1887 - 1962 was a famous French author journalist playwright and songwriter. Georges Leroux 1922-1999 was one of the most accomplished and esteemed French binders of the twentieth century. Before he became a book binder in 1959 he was a poet. His works are known for their exotic materials use of metallic effects and strong polychromatic color. hardcover
