231 pages. Footnotes. Bibliography. Reprints of archival documents. "Fortunately for the scholars and history buffs of today, the Russian police of a century ago gathered and preserved their information on the Doukhobors and their emigration venture very well. It is only in the past decade, however, that many of the documents in this colection have been known to anyone but the police themselves. Translated and published here for the first time in the centenary year of the Doukhobors' arrival, they shed new light on a most significant event in the history of Canada as a multicultural society." - from back cover.

Ex-library copy with one single institution stamp to title-page and pocket with discard stamp to endpage. Minor fading to spine. ; 208 pages; During the last two centuries of the Roman Republic emigration from Italy to the provinces was widespread and increasing. This book is the first to survey the movement throughout the Empire; the emphasis is on private rather than state-organised settlement. The first part is about the Western Mediterranean provinces, whose Romanization began in this period; the second part treats emigration to the Greek East, where, by contrast, the settlers tended to become more and more hellenized. The principal matters considered are the volume of emigration, the kinds of communities formed overseas by the emigrants, their motives and origins, the regions and places settled, the fortunes of the settlers in the upheavals of the late Republican period, and their relations with the people among whom they lived.

Papier wurde gefaltet und gelocht, oben mit handschriftlichem Zahlennotat, insgesamt gut erhalten. Das Original-Schreiben enthält insgesamt 14 Zeilen, es ist auf den 21. November 1979 datiert. Peter Weiss schrieb den freundlichen Brief an die ihm verbundene Buchhändlerin der Autorenbuchhandlung in Westberlin. Diese einstige Buchhandelsinstitution (Carmerstrasse, Berlin-Charlottenburg) war gemeinsame Unternehmung und wichtige Anlaufstelle für viele Autoren der Zeit in West- (und auch Ostberlin) sowie der BRD. Weiss nahm im Brief Bezug zu einer Einladung nach Westberlin. Er schrieb ihr: "Ich würde gern kommen, um Dich bald wieder mal zu sehn - aber ich kann jetzt nicht von der Arbeit weg - sitze im kritischen Stadium meines Buchs, da stört jede Unterbrechung." Sehr wahrscheinlich ist die Arbeit am dritten Band der "Ästhetik des Widerstands" gemeint, welches dann 1981 bei Suhrkamp veröffentlicht worden ist. Es folgen weiterhin kurze Absprachen mit der Autorenbuchhandlung. Weiss unterschrieb mit: "Viele Grüsse bis zum nächsten Mal Dein Peter". Original-Brief des deutsch-schwedischen Schriftstellers.
