The contents with scattered foxing to the endpapers are otherwise in very good order and clean throughout. An interesting association copy of this comprehensive extensively illustrated and luxuriously produced survey of the people culture history politics economy industry agriculture geography and natural history of Uruguay at the beginning of the twentieth-century belonging to the influential Australian author journalist and poet Dame Mary Gilmore 1865-1962. </p><p>A prolific contributor to Australian literature and the broader national discourse during the first half of the twentieth-century Gilmore wrote for a number of leading newspapers and journals of the period serving as the editor of the women's section of The Australian Worker 1908-1931 as well as The Bulletin The Sydney Morning Herald and the Communist Party's Tribune becoming known as a campaigner for the welfare of the disadvantaged. Her first volume of poetry was issued in 1910 thereafter publishing prodigiously for the ensuing half-century coming to be regarded as one of Australia's most popular and widely read poets. Her poetry essays and memoirs covered a wide variety of themes although public imagination was particularly captured by her evocative views of country life with her best known work - 'No Foe Shall Gather Our Harvest' - serving as a morale booster during the Second World War.</p><p>A political progressive Gilmore gained a reputation as a 'fiery radical' - a champion of the workers and the oppressed. Involving herself with the burgeoning labour movement early in her life she had become a devotee of the utopian socialism of William Lane 1861-1917. In 1896 Gilmore and two hundred others followed Lane to Paraguay where they established a communal settlement called New Australia. She started a family there with William Gilmore whom she married in 1897 but the colony was ultimately short-lived with Gilmore leaving in 1900 living in Buenos Aires for six months followed by a period in Patagonia returning to Australia in 1902 after having saved enough money for a return passage.</p><p>Gilmore maintained a strong interest in Latin American politics culture and literature for the rest of her life. Indeed she also engaged in translation projects bringing Latin American literature to a wider audience notably endeavouring to produce a 'Uruguayan anthology' for which she corresponded with friends and associates in the country. This was perhaps also the origin of the present volume which itself forms a pleasing representation of Gilmore's wide-ranging ambitions.</p><p>By her later years Gilmore was a doyenne of the Sydney literary world and became something of a national icon making frequent appearances in the new media of radio and television and maintaining a significant literary output into old age publishing her last book of verse in 1954 aged 89. She died at the age of 97 and was accorded a state funeral a rare honour for a writer and has featured on the reverse of the Australian ten-dollar note since 1993.

290 pages. Reproductions of black and white photos in text. "Whether by accident or design, governments and agencies have remained silent, so all the research has been up to us. However this true fifty year old shame must be revealed in the hope that mankind remembers and never allows it to be repeated." - from Foreword. "Our story tells what happened to 168 Allied Airmen who jumped into Northern Europe after their planes had met with an explosive and fiery end... Because our eventual betrayal to the Gestapo was accomplished so smoothly, a number of these encounters will be explained so that you can better understand our dilemma. The retelling of our encounter with our Gestapo hosts is mild, for many of us do not wish to recall the most unpleasant details that deserve to stay well hidden in the back of our minds... Now with this story told, we again wish to forget." - from Prologue. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Binding intact. A sound copy. Book
195025986Milwaukee WI: Tee-Pee-Gee Company n.d. but ca.1950. Board game consisting of one 1 game board 21.5" x 22" set of two 2 red acrylic dice 41 round and square painted wood pieces in black white green red yellow blue and brown one black piece replaced 17 game cards 2.25" x 3.75" printed on rectos only and original instruction manual 6" x 4". Dice game pieces and cards housed in the original manufacturers two-piece box. Game board is hinged with linen lightly worn at extremities with some occasional board exposure; instruction manual is browned overall folded in half with some splitting along spine fold and holographic notes to front and rear wrappers. Box for entire game not present though it is unclear whether or not one was issued. Presumed complete. "The fascination of this game lies in the variety of ways chances and combinations in which it can be played. For instance - a player may decide to play all the men on the straight and narrow path to freedom by being pardoned or take a shorter but more risky method as a fugitive. The trials of fate and temptation may enter at any time and upset all plans. This novel game which may be played by two to six players illustrates the separation of prisoners from the outside world and their discipline and reformation. It is a game of chance and skill and the possibility of your opponents' chance to win depends upon where and how you make your moves. It will hold you spellbound from beginning to end" - opening statement from instruction booklet.<br/><br/>A prison-themed board game with a phantom manufacturer; our research has failed to reveal much information about either one though in theory and objective it bears remarkable similarities to the much later ca.1990's board game The Slammer produced by Ruppert Games. Tee-Pee-Gee can be played by up to six players and while it appears fairly easy at first glance the dynamics are quite complicated with game pieces representing inmates messengers guards and visitors. The possibility for numerous moves exists dictated by the roll of the dice cards chosen and each players respective positioning on the board. Prisoners can be released or can choose to escape with or without the help of visitors. The winner of the game is the player with all their prisoners outside the walls either as "pardoned" or "fugitives" and their visitors "in good standing" with the prison officials.

L’auteur, natif de Paris en 1801, un normalien qui se vit fermer la carrière universitaire parce que trop indépendant, émigra à Guernesey où il enseigna au collège Elisabeth.
