304p. 8vo. Original full green cloth binding, gold decorated and lettered. Spine faded. Hardbound. First Edition. James Stephens (1882-1950) was left fatherless in the Dublin slums at the age of two. His mother remarried or took up with another man when James was about six years of age. She abandoned her young son and he was forced to go to the Meath Protestant Industrial School for Boys. The Meath School was cruel and harsh and he ran away to live in the streets or live with families that took to the likely boy. In 1905 'The Greatest Miracle' was published by Arthur Griffith in The United Irishman. Griffith became good friends with Stephens and published his works in his magazine know as the Sinn Fein. From 1905-1910, Stephens attended Gaelic League classes and become involved with political meetings. During this time he published several pieces which focused on Irish national pride, the importance of learning one's Irish language and customs, and remembering the ancient saga heroes. Stephens met many of his great contemporaries during this period including George Russell (AE), George Moore, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, etc. In the year 1912, Stephens published The Charwoman's Daughter and later in the same year his noted work The Crock of Gold. The Crock of Gold was a great success and Stephens moved to Paris so he could concentrate on writing full time. Cynthia Kavanagh who had been his lover since 1907 accompanied him. He later married her in 1919. The Demi-Gods was published in 1914 and in 1915 he moved back to Dublin to become the Registrar of the National Gallery of Ireland (and stayed in that position till 1924). Stephens witnessed the shooting of a man as a result of the Easter Uprising in Dublin in 1916. This became a turning point for him as the event intensified his patriotic feelings and renewed his interest in old Irish literature. Stephens moved to London in the year 1925. He began a series of lecture tours which extended to the United States. In 1935 Stephens began a literary and personal friendship with James Joyce. His colleagues considered Stephens to be a genius who easily embraced fantasy, philosophy, and comedy - those who read him today will still be struck by his genius. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! STEPHENS/W77

PARIS, Nelle Lib. Celtique - 1957 - 1 ère édition - In-8 °, 23 x 14,5 cm - Broché - 444 pages - Bon exemplaire Celtes d'autrefois, Celtes d'aujourd'hui. Celtisme et Christianisme. Le rêve et la légende [la saga irlandaise, les Mabinogion, la Table ronde et la quête du Graal, les légendes de la mort]. Celtisme & romantisme [d'Ossian à Villiers de l'Isle-Adam et Yeats]. Le monde des idées [celtisme et démocratie, Ernest Renan]. Le monde des formes. La vie et l'action. Infiltrations et influences [magie celte et poésie anglaise, en Amérique, Grands Bretons adoptifs]. Rétrospectives et perspectives. "Breton de race, fin connaisseur des choses d'Irlande, en contact fréquent avec le Pays de Galles et l'Ecosse, A. Rivoallan tente ici de dégager les traits originaux des civilisations celtiques et d'apprécier leur apport à celles d'Occident. Ouvrage inégal dans son information (c'est à l'analyse littéraire que l'auteur, par profession, est le mieux préparé). Etrange carrière, en vérité, que celle du capitaine malouin, Jean de Porcon, qui « remplit de ses faits d'armes la fin du XVe siècle » et qui, avant de mourir sous les coups des Ottomans en 1501, eut néanmoins le temps de déloger l'empereur (lequel ?) de Livourne et de figurer, comme Cervantès, à la bataille de Lépante..."

ill. "'Vi racconto l'Irlanda' è un libro scritto da un viaggiatore qualunque, uno di voi, che programma e segue il suo sogno di viaggiare da nord a sud dell'Irlanda lungo la Wild Atlantic Way, la strada che, costeggiando la costa atlantica permette di ammirare l'Irlanda in tutta la sua bellezza. Un viaggio lungo quasi 2500 km, tra prati verdi e alte scogliere, castelli e chiese celtiche abbandonate, città metropolitane e piccoli borghi colorati dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato. Tutto questo è l'Irlanda, dove il sole si alterna alle nuvole minacciose, dando vita a quello spettacolo definito 'il cielo d'Irlanda'. Vi racconterò tutto con un briciolo di ilarità, mista a un po' di sana avventura e improvvisazione, corredando il tutto da una serie di foto scattate da me [...]. Per chi non lo sapesse sono anche fotografo, e da qui e nata l'idea di raccontarvi il mio sogno con un libro corredato da foto dei luoghi lungo l'itinerario, che vi facciano conoscere la bellezza dell'isola di 'smeraldo'."
