"The Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, was an intellectual movement in Europe that lasted from approximately the 1770s to the 1880s. The Haskalah was inspired by the European Enlightenment but had a Jewish character. It encouraged Jews to study secular subjects, to learn both the European and Hebrew languages, and to enter fields such as agriculture, crafts, the arts and science. The maskilim (followers of the Haskalah) tried to assimilate into European society in dress, language, manners and loyalty to the ruling power. The Haskalah eventually influenced the creation of both the Reform and Zionist movements" - Shira Schoenberg. Some of its leaders in Russia were: Tobias Cohn; Isaac bar Levinsohn; Max Lilienthal; Alexander Zederbaum; Perez ben Mosheh Smolenskin; Moses Lob Lilienblum; and others. Very good copy. JUDAICA BOX 2

BIOGRAPHY BOX 1
220 pages. Riis "took pictures to document and expose the everyday misery of the despairing and often unseen poor." - from Introduction. "The remarkable journalist and reformer Jacob Riis was the forerunner in America's great tradition of documentary photography. This book brings together for the first time a full selection of Riis's photographs and a detailed account of his extraordinary years with a camera... To Riis, an immigrant struggling to expose human misery in the slums of New York nearly a century ago, such other possibilities as art and self-expression were of no concern. He was a muckraking journalist, to whom fact was the 'mightiest lever', and he took up the camera only because it offered new firepower in his crusade for social justice. Self-taught, he became America's first true journalist-photographer - a pioneer in the use of flash and in obtaining entry to and photographing previously inaccessible slum dwellings." - from dust jacket. "The photographs are direct and penetrating, as raw as the sordid scenes which they so often represent." - Beaumont Newhall, in "History of Photography". Usual library markings. Average wear.

br. Fugger fu il primo plutocrate moderno. Come i suoi contemporanei Machiavelli e Cesare Borgia conosceva il mondo per com'era, non per come voleva che fosse. E fece tutto ciò che poteva per plasmarlo come più gli piaceva. Questa è la storia di come, rendendosi indispensabile per i clienti e spietato con i nemici, Fugger ci abbia lasciato in dote il copione per tutti coloro che aspirino a cambiare la Storia (e il proprio destino) attraverso il denaro. "È risaputo che senza di me Sua Maestà non avrebbe mai acquisito la corona imperiale." Solo un folle o un uomo profondamente conscio della sua posizione rivolgerebbe queste parole all'uomo più potente del mondo. Eppure era così che il banchiere tedesco Jacob Fugger poteva scrivere all'imperatore Carlo V sollecitandolo nella restituzione dei denari necessari alla sua elezione. In tempi in cui in pochi riuscivano a sopravvivere ai propri colpi di fortuna, Jacob Fugger incarnò un uomo di potere fuori dai palazzi reali ed ecclesiastici, un pioniere della politica, un capitalista prima dell'avvento del Capitalismo, il Rockefeller del Rinascimento tedesco.

Jacob George Strutt (17841867) painter and etcher, studied in London, and was a contributor to the Royal Academy and British Institution at intervals between 1819 and 1858. For a few years he practiced portrait-painting, but from 1824 to 1831 exhibited studies of forest scenery, and he is now best known by two sets of etchings which he published at this period `Sylva Britannica, or portraits of Forest Trees distinguished for their Antiquity' (1822; reissued, as here, in 1838), and `Delicia Sylvarum, or grand and romantic Forest Scenery in England and Scotland' (1828). About 1831 Strutt went abroad, and, after residing for a time at Lausanne, settled in Rome. In 1851 he returned to England, but was not active after 1858. Nice copy of the First Quarto Edition, with the plates being mounted proofs on India paper. Bridson & White C537; Nissen BBI 1907. RARE. **PRICE MUCH REDUCED! PLANTS W134
