New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 22 cm). Edition in English. 343 p., b/w and color ills. Two coasts one sea III: Sections from Turkish-Russian common history. Translated by Natalia Kizilkaya. Two geographies both on Asia and Europe on the coasts of the Black Sea basin, Turkey and Russia. These two countries that are among the most important and strongest figures of the world area have strengthened their relations with rooted cultural, economic and social sharing besides the same lands in the past centuries. They shared the same fate and history of nearly 500 years in Eurasia that has housed several civilizations. Starting from Kiev Russia and Seljuk era, the history of these two geographies have reflected each other on the journey of each turning into strong empires such as Moscow Russia and the Ottoman Beylik and state structures respectively. Russia and Turkey weaved their similar fate of their joint past sometimes with war and sometimes with peace, alliance, aid and friendship... They underwent 12 great wars in depth but showed extraordinary solidarity as if to inspire the proverb "a neighbor is in need of another"; just like the in the war of Independence. The book "Two coasts and One Sea" gives the opportunity to analyze developments in culture, literature, arts and economy in the wide spectrum of history besides acting a unique historian that brings a perspective to our lives shaped in the same geographies. In other words, it accompanies the journey of Turkish-Russian relations from the Ottoman era to the Republic. This is third and the last volume.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original Ottoman illustrated journal. 40x27 cm. In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 8 p., richly ills. Taken from a volume. Foxing on pages, slightly chipped on hinges. Overall a very good copy. Extremely rare early issue of an Ottoman illustrated journal depicting a lynching of colored American citizens in Florida by white Americans, published one year after the proclamation of the Republic in Turkey. The first studies bearing social criticism on issues like slavery and abolition were made in the early years of the young Turkish Republic, which had refused the legacy of its imperial predecessor. In this period, several classics of American anti-slavery literature and contemporary works were translated for the first time, and texts on slavery and abolition in America were translated and published in Turkey. The term "Lynch's Law" apparently originated during the American Revolution when Patriot Charles Lynch (1736-1796), a Virginia justice of the peace, ordered extralegal punishment of the Loyalists. Variations of the term, such as "lynch law," "judge lynch," and "lynching", were standard entries in American and British English dictionaries by the 1850s. In 1811, a man named Captain William Lynch claimed that the phrase, already famous, actually came from a 1780 compact signed between him and his neighbors in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, to uphold their own brand of law independent of legal authority. In the pre-Civil War South, members of the abolitionist movement and other people opposing slavery were sometimes targets of lynch mob violence. (Source: Wikipedia).
