Firenze, 1993, 8vo stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 553/559 con una carta ed una tavola fotografica a colori. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Prima edizione italiana e seconda edizione assoluta, dopo la prima francese del 1834-1835, di una delle più importanti descrizioni ottocentesche della California e dell’arcipelago delle Isole Hawaii, scritta dal celebre viaggiatore che fu ufficiale di marina e sindaco di Saint-Servan 1835-1838, Auguste Bernard Duhaut-Cilly o Auguste Bernard superiore Cilly (Saint-Malo, 26 Marzo 1790 Saint-Servan-sur-mer, 26 ottobre, 1849). L’autore, entrato in marina nel 1807, prestò servizio nell'Oceano Indiano sotto Robert Surcouf. Nel 1815 passò dalla marina militare a quella mercantile prestando servizio sotto l’avventuriero, Jean Baptiste Rives che caldeggiava un’impresa coloniale francese nelle Isole Hawaii, all’epoca conosciute anche come Isole Sandwich dopo che così le aveva chiamate James Cook nel 1778 in onore del suo protettore Lord Sandwich, nome che oggigiorno è considerato coloniale e antiquato. La spedizione era stata ideata come divisa in due parti. Nella prima, finanziata da alcuni banchieri francesi fra i quali Jacques Laffitte, l’impresa, doveva spostarsi verso l’America latina per commerciare in diversi prodotti, poi terminata questa fase, doveva, quindi, proseguire verso le Hawaii per riportare lì, il corpo di un re hawaiano che era morto in Inghilterra a causa del vaiolo. Duhaut-Cilly partì da Le Havre il 10 aprile 1826 su un veliero di 370 tonnellate. La prima fermata avvenne alle Isole Canarie per poi proseguire nelle isole di Capo Verde e Cabo Frio in Brasile. Quindi visitò Rio (il 25 maggio) e poi, il 13 giugno, partì per Valparaiso da Capo Horn dove affrontò una terribile tempesta il giorno 14 luglio. Le successive tappe furono San José del Cabo (novembre) e Mazatlán per poi giungere in California in gennaio anche se a causa della nebbia, impiegò 8 giorni a trovare il Porto di San Francisco. Qui si fermò per un certo periodo e visitò il territorio. Le tappe furono poi Monterey, Santa Barbara e San Diego (aprile). Fu quindi alle Hawaii per poi tornare nell’ottobre del 1827, dopo una pausa in Perù, in California. Da qui si reca di nuovo alle Hawaii e si ferma per due mesi ad Honolulu, dove studia la lingua e le usanze locali, oltre a visitare il territorio. Il volume descrive i viaggi di Auguste Duhaut-Cilly, i luoghi da lui visitati, le lingue studiate, i monumenti e le bellezze naturali viste e rappresenta una selle più importanti e complete fonti storiche, economiche e culturali inerenti alla California e alle isole Hawaii nella prima metà dell’ottocento.

191459133Garden City: Doubleday Page & Company 1914. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 19.5cm. Ribbed orange-brown cloth titled in gilt on spine and front cover; 354pp. Aside from some inconspicuous spotting to text block fore edge a very clean and bright copy Near Fine and unusual thus.<br /> <br /> The last novel published under Norris's name originally written in 1895 while he was a student at Harvard but left unpublished at the time of his death in 1902. In his foreword Charles G. Norris who prepared the manuscript for publication describes at some length the loss of the original manuscript and its rediscovery in a warehouse in 1913. The tale of sexual degeneracy and social disintegration of a young San Francisco gentleman in the Gilded Age did not sit well with pre-WW1 readers and the book met with poor reviews and poorer sales despite Norris's reputation as a pioneer and master of American naturalism. A second printing was announced by the publisher in 1914 but apparently never happened. BAL 15046. BAIRD 1883. Doubleday, Page & Company unknown
