Madrid, Imprenta de la Viuda de Manuel Fernandez, 1755. 4to.; 2 hs., 464 pp. Encuadernación en pergamino, de la época.

Madrid, Imprenta de la Viuda de Manuel Fernandez, 1755. 4to.; 2 hs., XVI pp., 398 pp. y un mapa plegado, grabado en cobre, que muestra las misiones jesuitas en la India. Encuadernación en pergamino, de la época. Parte destacada del presente volúmen esta formada por las "Cartas" del Padre Sebastian Rasle (1658-1724) en las Misiones del Canadá, entre los Indios Abenakis, en Norridgewock, en el Rio Kennebec, en tiempo de las luchas contra los ingleses de New England, a manos de los cuales murió finalmente tras haber sido puesta a precio su cabeza. Su prestigio y fama entre los Abenakis fue imperecedero, su conocimiento de su lengua y costumbres impresionante, como lo prueba el manuscrito de su "Diccionario de la Lengua Abenaki", milagrosamente conservado hasta hoy en la Biblioteca del Harvard College y publicado en 1835. Otra interesante relación es la que contiene el viaje y estancia en el Tibet entre 1716 y 1721 del Padre Ippolito Desideri. No menor es el interés del Informe de la Visita de Fray José Peralta, Obispo de Buenos Aires, a las Misiones jesuítas del Paraguay en 1743.

Roy. 8vo., First Edition, with numerous coloured and monochrome plates; cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in the dustwrapper.
8vo, br. ed. softcover, 747pp. Il piccolo Clé, alter ego dell’autore, è un bambino ribelle e vivacissimo, dalla memoria prensile e dalla curiosità insaziabile. Infinite per lui sono le fonti di stupore, gioia e conoscenza: la saggezza dei contadini toscani e i libri fotografici sull’Oriente della mamma inglese, la visione della nebulosa di Andromeda e i discorsi raffinati degli scrittori ospiti dei genitori. Fin da bambino, Maraini sperimenta così le differenze tra il mondo della natura, di tutto ciò che è esterno a noi, e il nostro mondo interiore, che si esprime a seconda degli uomini, delle epoche, delle religioni e delle civiltà. Il compito dell’uomo che voglia vivere una vita piena, comprendendo davvero ciò che lo circonda, è costruire ponti tra questi mondi. È quello che Maraini farà per tutta la vita, saltando di paese in paese, di cultura in cultura, di civiltà in civiltà con lo stesso vitalismo festoso con cui da ragazzo balzava da un albero all’altro. Questo libro, romanzo autobiografico di una vita meravigliosa, è stracolmo di avventure esotiche e domestiche, del corpo e della mente. Tutto – dalla scoperta dell’eros in Maremma a quella del Budda nel remoto Tibet, dai durissimi mesi passati in un campo di concentramento giapponese alle spedizioni alpine – rappresenta un’irripetibile occasione offerta dal girotondo dell’esistenza, che questo esploratore innamorato accoglie sempre e comunque con pienezza e gratitudine. Introduzione di Dacia Maraini.
First Edition, xi,[i],392pp., orig. cloth, a fine copy. This major subject bibliography describes 3,500 books on all aspects on Chinese life. It is an excellent reference for collectors, easy to use, and provides a broad exposure to books in any given subject. The collection is based on the collection of Thomas Hunt, a merchant who gained his fortune in China during the middle of the 19th century. A lifelong collector, Hunt gave his collection to the Essex Institute, where it is currently housed. The Library contains about 4000 volumes. It was with the purpose of increasing the library's usefulness to scholars that the current catalog was compiled. Subjects are Chinese in America, Jews in China, Buddhism, folklore, secret societies, and dozens of others.

Vol 1 portrait frontis , 2 maps, xxiii, 318 pp. Vol II 6 plates and map of Asia in pocket, xiii, 367 pp. Vol III map and 2 text illus, xv, 270 pp. Vol. IV, xii-359. hard rebound in half black cloth with gilt lettering on spine, and blue boards . very scarce chinese reprint . much scarcer than the london original (before the days of photo-reproduction), from the plates of the Hakluyt Society's 1913-16 edition, This could not have been a pirated edition, as the original plates seem to have been used. . It is a miracle that some academic in Beijing was interested enough to print these volumes in those times and another miracle that they survived the l wars between the Nationalists, the Communists and Japan that were devastating China in 1942. No copies traced in any library or auction records, and the Hakluyt Society cannot account for the Peking printing. A rarity In excellent condition.

8vo, br. ed. 259pp. Challenging assumptions about science fiction's Western origins, Nathaniel Isaacson traces the development of the genre in China, from the late Qing Dynasty through the New Culture Movement. Through careful examination of a wide range of visual and print media-including historical accounts of the institutionalization of science, pictorial representations of technological innovations, and a number of novels and short stories-Isaacson makes a case for understanding Chinese science fiction as a product of colonial modernity. By situating the genre's emergence in the transnational traffic of ideas and material culture engendered by the presence of colonial powers in China's economic and political centers, Celestial Empires explores the relationship between science fiction and Orientalist discourse. In doing so it offers an innovative approach to the study of both vernacular writing in twentieth-century China and science fiction in a global context. fantascienza cina.
