411, (3 ads) pages. "This volume of war correspondence and travel bridges forty years of personal wanderings and adventure." - from Introductory. The adventures described took place in many places around the world. Here are the author's thoughts after a time in China: "The Chinese are noted for their savage cruelty. I had several instances, but I will not jar my readers' feeling by going into details of the Chinaman's 'gentle art' of disposing of his captive enemies. China, too, is the land of corruption. Every man considers it his duty to cheat his neighbour. It is a cardinal article of Celestial life. The process is known as 'squeezing' and, beginning with the Emperor, it is prosecuted down step-by-step." - from page 224. Unmarked. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's red cloth adorned with gilt lettering. Binding intact. Moderate spine slant. Backstrip all but loose.

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 22 cm). Edition in English. 343 p., b/w and color ills. Two coasts one sea III: Sections from Turkish-Russian common history. Translated by Natalia Kizilkaya. Two geographies both on Asia and Europe on the coasts of the Black Sea basin, Turkey and Russia. These two countries that are among the most important and strongest figures of the world area have strengthened their relations with rooted cultural, economic and social sharing besides the same lands in the past centuries. They shared the same fate and history of nearly 500 years in Eurasia that has housed several civilizations. Starting from Kiev Russia and Seljuk era, the history of these two geographies have reflected each other on the journey of each turning into strong empires such as Moscow Russia and the Ottoman Beylik and state structures respectively. Russia and Turkey weaved their similar fate of their joint past sometimes with war and sometimes with peace, alliance, aid and friendship... They underwent 12 great wars in depth but showed extraordinary solidarity as if to inspire the proverb "a neighbor is in need of another"; just like the in the war of Independence. The book "Two coasts and One Sea" gives the opportunity to analyze developments in culture, literature, arts and economy in the wide spectrum of history besides acting a unique historian that brings a perspective to our lives shaped in the same geographies. In other words, it accompanies the journey of Turkish-Russian relations from the Ottoman era to the Republic. This is third and the last volume.
1 corner very slightly bumped else fine. ; Colloquia Pontica 11; 394 pages; The book is the first in German to present the results of the excavation of Byzantine Cherson (7th-14th centuries) in the Crimea.

Very Good Turkish Original autograph greeting card signed by Edige Mustafa Kirimal sent to 'Bahire Hanim'. 10x12 cm (Open size: 10x24 cm). In Turkish. 1 p. Written on the card as print 'Die besten Münche zum Jahresmeschel'. Dated 'Münih, 23.12.1963'. 8 lines. Written 'Yeni yilinizi candan kutlar, saglik ve saadet diler, samimî selâm ve hürmetlerimizin kabulünü rica ederiz'. This is a new year celebration and greetings. Kirimal is best known for his meticulous research and publications on the history of Crimean Tatars in the first half of the 20th century. He served as the editor of Dergi, one of the publications of the Institute for the Study of the USSR in Munich, and was among the first scholars to explore the fate of ethnic minorities living in the Soviet Union. Edige's father Mustafa Shinkievich, who came from a Lithuanian Tatar (also known as Polish Tatar) family, had moved to Crimea before World War I. He was a descendent of soldiers under the command of the Golden Horde Khan Toktamish who had fled to Lithuania in the late 14th century. Born in Bahçesaray in 1911, Edige received his early education in Dereköy, near Yalta and graduated from the Russian gymnasium in Yalta. He enrolled in the Institute of Pedagogy in Simferopol (now Crimean State University of Engineering and Pedagogy), but his involvement in Crimean Tatar nationalist activities made it impossible for him to remain in Crimea. The Soviet repression, marked by the arrest, execution and deportation of thousands of Tatars, forced him to flee to Azerbaijan and then to Iran. He arrived in Istanbul in 1932. Two years later, he joined his uncle Yakup Shinkievich, who was serving as Muftu of the Lithuanian Muslims in Vilnius, a city then under Polish occupation. Edige graduated from the University of Vilnius with a degree in political science in 1939. Following the invasion of Poland by German forces in September 1939, he left for Berlin and then for Istanbul. During the German occupation of Ukraine and Crimea (1941-44), Kirimal was active in Germany, trying to secure rights and protection for the Crimean Tatars, and later helped refugees from Crimea settle in German camps. After World War II ended, Kirimal pursued graduate studies and received his doctorate degree from the University of Münster in Germany. His often quoted monograph, Der nationale Kampf der Krim-türken (Emsdetten/Westfalen, 1952), was based on his dissertation. He joined the staff of the newly founded Institute for the Study of the USSR (Institut zur Erforschung de UdSSR) in Munich in 1954 and became the editor of Dergi, the Institute's publication in Turkish. Kirimal published numerous articles on the history and nationalist struggle of Crimean Tatars under Russian and Soviet rule. He was fluent in Russian, Turkish, Polish and German. He retired in 1972 when the Institute closed, and died in 1980 in Munich. (Source: International Committee for Crimea).
