488 pages. Index. "One of the very rare accounts of Korea in the latter part of the nineteenth century. At that time Korea was virtually a forbidden land and had only been open to foreigners for abbout ten years. It was and had been under Chinese influence for centuries. The trip was very difficult but so fascinating that, true to character, Isabella adored it. She undertook many arduous journeys by land and river, observed the breathtakingly beautiful countryside, visited the Buddhist monasteries and had many audiences with the Korean king and his soon to be assassinated queen. While Isabella was on her journey the Japanese invaded Korea and she had to leave hastily, ending up in China, penniless.... Bird won fame in her own time as surely the most remarkable woman traveller of the nineteenth century." - from back cover. Average wear. Unmarked. Binding tight and square. Book

"Secondo nome: Huntington" è il catalogo di una mostra in cui designers, biologi e fablabs hanno riflettuto insieme sull'Huntington, una malattia che, come “un secondo nome”, il destino attribuisce alla persona. Sfogliando il libro si entra in questo mondo spesso ignorato da una società votata alla bellezza e al profitto, che preferisce non confrontarsi con le sue “debolezze”: il design si fa strumento per scardinare preconcetti, per regalare letture inaspettate, per innovare a partire dal “minuto”, che non è mai “minore”. I progetti – che esplorano la dimensione affettiva, simbolica e funzionale dell'abitare – riflettono sulle necessità della malattia, ma anche su gesti, emozioni, delusioni, paure e speranze universali. Perché parliamo di Huntington, ma raccontiamo sempre di noi. Curatori: Davide Crippa.

Korea, Tonkin [Vietnam], circa 1866. Carte-de-visite albumen photographs of some of the earliest and most prominent Catholic priest martyrs who were tortured, maimed and killed in Korea and Tokin during persecution in the 1830s and 1860s. Thirteen (13) photographs, pasted onto a single nineteenth century framing matt, ensconced behind a window mount for an elegant presentation. Photographs vary slightly in size, the smallest measuring approximately 5,25 cm x 7,5 cm, and the largest 6 cm x 9,5 cm. Notable age-toning to some of the images, otherwise in very good condition, extraordinarily scare. The Kingdom of Korea, then an isolationist nation, was forbidden to foreigners and did not tolerate Christians. When a Chinese priest managed to secretly enter the country in the 1740s, he found 4,000 Catholics, none of whom had ever seen a priest. The dynamic Catholic communities were led almost entirely by educated laypeople from the aristocracy, as they were the only ones who could read the books that were written in Hanja. In 1801, during King Sunjo of Joseon's reign, Queen Jeongsun ordered a mass attack of Korean Catholics and suppressed Catholicism, in the belief that it conflicted with the tenets of Confucianism. Since the persecution of 1801, also known as the Sinyu Persecution, there had been no priest to care for the Christian community. Serious dangers awaited the missionaries who dared to enter Korea. The bishops and priests who confronted this danger, as well as the lay Christians who aided and sheltered them, were in constant threat of losing their lives. Eventually, two Chinese priests were sent from Beijing, but their ministry was short-lived, and another forty years passed before the Paris Foreign Mission Society began its work in Korea with the arrival of Father Maubant in 1836 who snuck in carefully guarding their purpose. Many arrived discreetly via China. All met and performed their missions in secrecy. Upon the authorities' learning of clandestine Christian activities, an edict was issued in April 1839 and followed by fierce persecution. It is estimated that 8,000 to 10,000 were killed for their faith in 19th-century Korea. Photo
