248 pages including references. Would be graded very good but for two defects; when former owner blacked out his name inside front cover the black ink seeped through and is very visible on front cover. There is an average amount of underlining in the book, primarily in pencil. As to the content of the book, it is much more than a collection of the finest pieces, newly expanded and updated, by one of Canada's best-known commentators on religion. In addition to a lengthy introductory statement of his own beliefs, the former relition editor of The Toronto Star has written a number of short essays on controversial issues specially for this book. Here, Harpur is able to speak more frankly than he could as a journalist. A book not only for church-goers but for all who are concerned with religion and its place in the world. Book

213 pages including index and references. "The lovely Gulf Islands of the BC coast have captivated visitors and settlers for almost 150 years. Their tranquil present belies a turbulent past - the pioneers faced cattle rustlers, Indian battles, political upheavals and opium smugglers, but they were still attracted by the islands' independent lifestyle. Everybody worked hard, but they enjoyed themselves too, with tennis parties, picnics and dances that went on till dawn, so the guests could row home safely in daylight. Each island has a different story: Salt Spring exported apples before the Okanagan, Texada boasted an elegant opera house, Lasqueti sheltered notorious robbers, Mayne was known as "Little Hell" for its boisterous pubs. This colourful past is brought together in this volume." - from back cover. Gift greetings inside front cover else clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Sound copy. Book

17,7×8,8 cm. Bellissima scena stereoscopica facente parte della rarissima serie detta delle “Diableries” realizzata intorno al 1860-70. Uno strappo ad una delle due albumine, senza perdita di albumina ma da restaurare, qualche segnetto e per il resto in buone condizioni di conservazione. La scena descrive Satana all’interno del suo gabinetto alchemico dove oltre a vari demoni e scheletri è presente un mago. Queste affascinanti e rare fotografie stereoscopiche vennero realizzate in Francia a partire dal 1860 circa e furono realizzate fino alla fine del XIX° secolo. Le carte raffigurano un intero immaginario sotterraneo, popolato da diavoli, satiri e scheletri intenti nella maggior parte dei casi a divertirsi o impegnati in lavori tipicamente umani. Le carte sono vere e proprie opere d’arte in sé. Conosciute come “french tissues”, furono ideate appositamente per consentire loro di essere visualizzate (in apparecchi stereoscopici) con un gioco di luci che trasformava, quando colpite da una luce diretta, le vedute in bianco e nero, in animate scene a colori tridimensionali. Rappresentarono all’epoca della loro realizzazione un importante innovazione visiva. La fotografia che riproduceva il reale era ora capace di mischiare finzione e realtà creando delle scene che a chi le guardava potevano sembrar esser prese dal vero. Le scenografie erano realizzate con grande umorismo tanto che si possono in parte considerare come le antesignane dei mondi fantasiosi realizzate per il cinema da Georges Méliès sul finire del XIX° secolo. Le scene raffiguranti queste “Diableries” furono realizzate con grande abilità artistica e artigianale in argilla da un piccolo gruppo di scultori che riuscirono a rendere estremamente veritiere le scene realizzate. Poste poi su un tavolo le opere venivano fotografavate con una macchina fotografica speciale ideata per realizzare stereoscopie. Le fotografie venivano poi impresse su carta all’albumina molto sottile. Il recto dell’albumina veniva poi in parte colorata. Un sottile velina veniva poi applicata dietro alle stesse per rendere i colori visibili solo quando la foto si trova con una fonte di luce al recto. Dei piccoli forellini venivano poi aggiunti per aumentare l’effetto visivo in corrispondenza degli occhi dei demoni e degli scheletri o in corrispondenza dei lampioni, lampadari e fuochi. Rarissima.
