1991014806N.Y.: Armchair Detective Library 1991. 1st hardcover edition. A fine unread copy in slipcase. ONE of 100 NUMBERED COPIES this being #98 SIGNED by Kaminsky bound in burgundy cloth without dust wrapper as issued in matching burgundy slipcase gilt stamping to front board and spine pencil sketch of the author by Carolyn Hartman at front board a very fine unread copy. A new introduction by Kaminsky. The 1st Rostnikov title. Set in Moscow the debut Ratnikov novel demonstrates how Kaminsky captures the flavor of that city. This powerful sense of time and place is doubly remarkable because Kaminsky had never been to Russia before he wrote the book. His depictions of Rostnikov coping with a corrupt Moscow police force underlying KGB pressures and the overall inefficiencies of working in the then Soviet Union are dead-on. Death of a Dissident shows a master storyteller at his finest. . Signed by Author. Limited/Numbered. Hard Cover in Slipcase. Fine. Limited Edition. Armchair Detective Library Hardcover

It also addresses certain animal and bird species in depth. The second book concerns ethics: it features the thinking of modern and classical moralists and studies the vices and virtues that characterise humanity. The third book the most original part of this work deals with matters related to politics and the art of government which is according to the author the most important and noblest of all sciences. The miniatures in this codex are extremely rich and varied. The artist's boundless imagination fills the margins of the 18 folios with countless arabesques and drolleries which constitute one of the most highly developed most interesting and earliest series of this genre in the history of the European miniature. There are also countless beasts grotesque and peculiar figures dwarves up to all sorts of tricks acrobats doing balancing acts and juggling musicians playing trumpets flutes violas tambourines organs and bagpipes.
