Dublin. A rare opportunity to acquire an ephemeral archive which not only exemplifies the theatrical passions of a single family across least three generations but documents the evolution of nineteenth century stage production charts the popular progress of Italian-language libretti in both Britain and on the Continent and exhibits the situation of English theatre prior to the post-war dominance of television and film. .

1921100261<p>Milano January 15 1921. 1921. Very good. - Over 60 words penned in Italian on 10-1/2 inch high by 8-1/4 inch wide cream "Via Verdi 4 Milano" stationery. Puccini writes to the publishers Fratelli Treves on behalf of his friend the writer Enrico Pea. He addresses Guido Treves the nephew of the firm's founder Emilio Treves who took over the company upon Emilio's death in 1916. Guido Treves ran the company with his wife Antonietta. Puccini writes that there is a manuscript awaiting publication at Treves' house. It is from his dear friend the Apuan region poet Enrico Pea. He asks that publication be expedited as there is a second volume ready for print. Puccini states that he wrote to Beltrami Giovanni Beltrami the managing director at Fratelli Treves who promised that it would be published soon. Signed "tuo yours G. Puccini" followed by his regards to Guido's wife. Folded horizontally and vertically for mailing the letter is slightly creased at the corners with a couple of minuscule chips to the edges. Once mounted there are remnants of archival tape along the top edge of the verso.</p><p>Giacomo Puccini often enjoyed a table at the Antico Caffe di Simo in Lucca with his friend Enrico Pea.</p><p>The book being discussed by Puccini is without doubt the first volume in Pea's "Trilogia del Moscardino" simply titled "Moscardino" published by Fratelli Treves in 1922. The book was translated into English by Ezra Pound. It was reviewed in the January 1 2005 edition of the New York Review of Books: "A small masterpiece Pea's lyrical autobiographical novel paints a fiery and intimate portrait of an old man through the brushstrokes of his grandson. The passions and tensions between the old eccentric and his brothers play themselves out in mythical sketches before a vivid backdrop of the hills of Lunigiana. Moscardino the first novella of his tetralogy Il romanzo di Moscardino is anarchic and haunting. Pound conducts Pea's vernacular song allowing images to flow from the land the flesh and beyond."</p><p>Little needs to be said about the life of the great Italian opera composer Giacomo Puccini 1858-1924 who composed several of the best known Italian operas. His works include "Manon Lescaut" "La Boheme" "Madama Butterfly" and "Turandot" among many other works.</p><p>The Italian poet novelist playwright and theatre impressario Enrico Pea 1881-1958 produced literary works that are said to be divided into two periods. The first being that of "Moscardino" and the second beginning with "Il Figlioccia" which takes on a softer delicate modulated style.</p> Milano, January 15, 1921.

100159<p>New York Canell . Very good. - An original 10 inch high by 8-1/8 inch wide sepia toned gelatin silver photograph of the opera contralto Else Brems. The portrait depicts Else Brems from the shoulders up looking up with a soulful smile. The photographer's credit "Canell NY" is printed in white at lower right of the image.

She first performed in Copenhagen at the age of 20 and her success propelled her to study with the American opera singer Sara Cahier who was herself famous for her performances of Carmen. She went on to appear as Carmen with the Royal Danish Theatre at the age of 22. Following a highly acclaimed private concert in Chicago she went to study in New York under Enrico Rosati the great voice teacher of Benniamino Gigli Giacomo Lauri-Volpi and Mario Lanza. She went on to perform the role hundreds of times and also performed the role of Bess in Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" during the Second World War. Following the liberation of Denmark she sang the role of Elisabeth in the patriotic "Elvehoj". She performed many other roles while at Copenhagen's Royal Theatre and elsewhere.</p> New York, Canell,

This was the last time that what became "The Boston Theatre" was called "The Academy of Music". Among the singers were Madame Lorini Mlle Morensi Signor Maccaferri Signor Susini Mademoiselle Cordier Signor Dubreul etc.</p><p>The November 15 1862 New York Herald review of an earlier performance of "Norma" at the Academy of Music possibly the Brooklyn Academy of Music in that case highly praises the quality of the Soprano's voice "It follows as a matter of course from what we have just stated that Madame Lorini's debut last night was a success. She had sung but a few passages when the audience recognized the beautiful quality of her voice--pure round and fresh--and though not as powerful as one would wish to hear in Norma still with volume sufficient to give a perfect interpretation of the music of the part. Her method is excellent and exhibits evidence of her Italian training."</p> [Boston]: Transcript Job Printing Office, 1863.

br. Su un lontanissimo pianeta coperto di ghiaccio, Breq sta per recuperare l'oggetto di cui è in cerca da tempo - un prezioso manufatto costruito dall'inconoscibile e temutissima specie aliena Presger -, quando si imbatte in un corpo semiassiderato nella neve: è Seivarden Vendaai, una persona che Breq credeva morta da mille anni. Perché Breq non è ciò che sembra: diciannove anni, tre mesi e una settimana prima di quel giorno era la "Justice of Toren", una gigantesca astronave da trasporto truppe in orbita attorno al pianeta Shis'urna insieme alle sorelle "Sword" e "Mercy". Come tutte le navi dell'impero Radchaai, la "Justice" è un'intelligenza artificiale che controlla ancelle umane. Ma ora la "Justice" è stata distrutta e della sua coscienza pensante è rimasto solo un frammento: Breq. Chi l'ha devastata ha portato via tutto ciò che le era più caro; solo due cose le rimangono: un fragile corpo umano nel quale sta imparando a nascondersi e un'inesauribile sete di vendetta. Il suo obiettivo è Anaander Mianaai, Lord del Radch, la creatura semi-immortale che da tremila anni detiene il potere assoluto sull'impero grazie alle sue migliaia di corpi interconnessi. La trilogia "Ancillary" disegna un universo originale e ricco di particolari spiazzanti, tanto complesso quanto coerente: un sistema nel quale le intelligenze artificiali si appassionano alla musica polifonica e sono ossessionate dal tè, mentre le differenze di genere non hanno senso. Ann Leckie esplora le sottigliezze psicologiche, i pregiudizi razziali, le passioni politiche e religiose dei suoi personaggi. Ma soprattutto fa ciò che da sempre fa la fantascienza: accompagnare il lettore, tra gigantesche battaglie interplanetarie e viaggi spaziali, alla scoperta di nuovi mondi, dove nessuno è mai giunto prima. Contiene anche i racconti "Il lento veleno della notte" e "Lei comanda e io obbedisco".
