195115733Editions René Julliard 1951. In-8 broché de 239 pages au format 14 x 19 cm. Couvertures à rabats, illustrées d'une photographie de l'auteur. Dos carré, avec petit manque au bas. Plats avec petits frottis et tassements aux coins. Intérieur frais. Courte biographie, avec photo, et présentation du livre sur les rabats. Exemplaire du service de presse, perforé " S.P " au 4ème plat. H.-G Clouzot vient d'épouser Véra, rencontrée sur le tournage du film " Quai des Orfèvres ". Ils veulent profiter de leur voyage de noces au Brésil, pays natal de Véra, pour réaliser un documentaire. Mais excepté quelques images d'introduction tournées à Paris et conservées à la Cinémathèque, le projet du film " Brasil " n'aboutira jamais et le périple brésilien se transforme en livre " Le Cheval des Dieux ", qui a pour sujet essentiel les rites religieux pratiqués sur tout le territoire brésilien par certaines sectes fétichistes et qui entraine le lecteur dans les bas-fonds de Bahia, parmi les magiciens et les envouteurs. Livre orné de 8 photographies prises par l'auteur, pendant son séjour, et tirées en héliogravure. Mais cette épisode exotique marque profondément le cinéaste et servira à son prochain long métrage, le mythique film d'aventures " Le Salaire de la Peur " , d’après le roman de Georges Arnaud, et qui se déroule dans les décors d'une contrée d'Amérique du Sud ( réinventée en Camargue ). Bel état général. Très rare édition originale. Précieux exemplaire enrichi d'une belle dédicace, autographe, signée de Henri-Georges Clouzot. Le nom du destinataire à été effacé, mais il s'agissait certainement d'un acteur. Les dédicaces de Henri-Georges Clouzot, sont rarissimes.

1928List1922Bahia 1928. Folded map. Fine condition. Fine. Teodoro Sampaio was an Afro-Brazilian cartographer engineer politician and historian who was very active in Brazil particularly in Bahia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Offered here is Sampaio’s map of Bahia from 1928 which updates a map he produced in 1899 of the same region with updates of the settlement of the region including a detailed inset of the city of BBahio de Todos os Santos on the lower right corner. At the time of the map’s production Sampaio was an authority on Brazilian geography being a member of the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia serving as president in 1922 and a member of the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro and the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia and publishing several books on Brazilian geography. The period between 1899 when the first edition of this map was published and 1928 saw the development of rubber plantations in Bahia and the map provides detail on the region’s roads and population centers. We find no publicly held examples of this edition and one copy of the 1899 edition at Princeton though we do find a reference to this edition at the Brazilian National Archives. unknown

Aoyagi was also instrumental in negotiating for Japanese government funds to buy land in Brazil for immigrant farmers.
