Apollinaire is considered one of the foremost poets of the early 20th century as well as one of the most impassioned defenders of Cubism and a forefather of Surrealism. He is credited with coining the term "Cubism" in 1911 to describe the emerging art movement and the term 'surrealism' in 1917 to describe the works of Erik Satie. The term Orphism 1912 is also his. He wrote poems without punctuation attempting to be resolutely modern in both form and subject. Apollinaire wrote one of the earliest Surrealist literary works the play The Breasts of Tiresias 1917 which became the basis for Francis Poulenc's 1947 opera Les Mamelles de Tirésias. Apollinaire was active as a journalist and art critic for Le Matin L'Intransigeant L'Esprit Nouveau Mercure de France and Paris Journal. In 1912 Apollinaire cofounded Les Soirées de Paris fr an artistic and literary magazine. Two years after being wounded in World War I Apollinaire died in the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918."

1974PW1032Baltimore:: Johns Hopkins University Press 1974. 1974. 8vo. xi 3 111 1 pp. Figs. index. Beige gilt-stamped cloth dust jacket; jacket chipped. Very good. ISBN: 0801815665 First American edition. Aries was a French medieval historian and friend of Michel Foucault. He is best known for his book Centuries of Childhood 1962 which presents childhood as a social construction rather than an actual physiological state. The other focus of his academic career somewhat paradoxically was the evolution of western societies' concept of death. In Western Attitudes Towards Death he argues that as religiosity has waned societies have become increasingly reluctant to confront death directly. / "Proposing that there is a permanent relationship between one's idea of death and one's self Aries explains how and why death ceased being a familiar routine forgetting of a self and has become a wild feeling of personal failure." –jacket.

Exlib bookplate and perforated stamps on title-page. Very good. "Bang is considered the founder of modern clinical microchemistry. Some of Bang's earliest investigations were on nucleoproteins and nucleic acid. He elucidated the structure of guanylic acid-previously isolated by Hanunarsten-as a compound of guanine pentose and phosphoric acid in equimolar proportions. This research was a major factor in revealing the framework of the nucleotides. He also performed early work on fat protein and nitrogen metabolism so that he coincidentally developed methods useful to clinical chemistry as he demonstrated "normal" and "abnormal" disease chemical processes of the body."

1968253616Hollywood 1968. unbound. 2 pages 10.5 x 7.25 inches Hollywood February 26 1968. Written to Harry Harris of The Philadelphia Inquirer supplying him with a list of what he believes is the ultimate dream show consisting of Philadelphia talent in part: ".It would not be a question of nominating ten people or 'acts' that might make up a well-balanced 'dream show' but rather which network would be able to give us the time to show all of the talents from Philly. However this would be my choice: Bill Cosby as host; Guy Marks - Impressions; Eddie Fisher - doing his Jolson medley; Buddy Greco Frankie Avalon Bobby Rydell Fabian and Al Martino as a group doing 'That Old Gang of Mine'; Susan Barrett singing 'Going Out of my Head'.I would have Mickey Callan dance surrounded by all the broads who ever worked the Latin Casino.I was sorry to see that in your nominations I was not included with the jazz greats as a Jazz Mandolinist or with the concert group as Second Mandolinist or with the string bands as Jewish Mandolinist. However I forgive you for this oversight."

This very rare memoir by Charles Blanchot was aide-de-camp to General Bazaine Supreme Commander of French Forces in Mexico during Mexico's Second Empire. There is so much in here that has never seen light in either Spanish or English for instance: the powerful if behind-the-scenes role of Doña Juliana de Gómez Pedraza widow of Manuel Gómez Pedraza and the vicious if as Blanchot suggests unfounded rumors circulating in Mexico City about Bazaine in 1866-7. Blanchot who married an American of French origin in Mexico City also offers a detailed and lively portrait of Mexico City society at the time.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />First signature of volume one detached with some edge wear along the fore-edges title to volume two detached binding edges and hinges rubbed spines darkened.

First Edition. <br/><br/>Nerone was first performed in Milan at La Scala on 1 May 1924. <br/><br/>"Nerone which had engaged Boito's attention irregularly for nearly 60 years was finally performed six years after his death on 1 May 1924 at La Scala in a version extensively revised by a committee consisting of Toscanini Antonio Smareglia and Vincenzo Tommasini . Nerone exists in two versions: in five acts as in the printed libretto of 1901 and in four acts as in the printed score. The excised fifth act for which Boito sketched music presents Nero playing Aeschylus's Orestes while Rome burns. The four-act version ends with the death of the Christian convert Rubria. All in all Nerone possesses great originality vividly contrasting pagan magic imperial corruption and Christian caritas. It is arguably Boito's finest achievement."
