30977Paris Grasset 18 octobre 1926. 1 vol. 125 x 185 mm de 272 p. et 2 f. Broché sous emboîtage Devauchelle. . Édition originale. Couverture illustrée d'un bois gravé de Pierre Lissac. Un des 11 premiers exemplaires sur chine. Exemplaire de passe non numéroté pour Maurice Genevoix. . Un an après Raboliot Goncourt 1925 c'est vers la Loire à la suite de la Sologne que se tourne Genevoix. Il est revenu vivre après 1919 à Châteauneuf-sur-Loire près des lieux pour lesquels il avait déjà donné quatre plus tôt un merveilleux Rémi des Rauches qui mettait déjà en scène avec bonheur le fleuve-roi par la grâce d'un tonnelier offrant au lecteur de magnifiques descriptions qui sont autant d'invitations au voyage. La Loire était même le dédicataire de son roman c'est dire. La Boîte à pêche est de prime abord une évocation quasi ethnographique des diverses formes de pêche et du plaisir qu'elles procurent : un roman « du terroir » que le milieu intellectuel parisien a taxé de « régionaliste » avec ses oeillères habituelles ; pour sa part Genevoix le justifie par la nécessité de conjurer le souvenir de la barbarie de la première guerre toujours vive ainsi qu'il l'exprime dans son avant-propos en hommage au maître à pêcher Najard et aux camarades de collège et de pêche Bailleul et Jeanneret. C'est à la faveur du succès de Raboliot Rémi des Rauches et La Boîte à pêche - trois textes imprégnés d'un vocabulaire d'une exceptionnelle richesse sensorielle que Genevoix pourra en 1927 acquérir la maison des Vernelles à Saint-Denis-de-l'Hôtel. Il y aménagera un bureau face à la Loire et y écrira une grande partie de son oeuvre à venir. Précieux exemplaire de tête qui provient de la bibliothèque de l'auteur aux « Vernelles » avec ex-libris.

185253892Paris: Imprimerie Administrative de Paul Dupont/ Varnout et Galante 1852. First edition second printing. Softcover. g to vg. Small quarto. 49 1pp. Illustrated blue wrappers with black lettering on the covers. String-tied binding for the book block.<br /> <br /> A scarce illustrated catalog of early vulcanized rubber medical devices manufactured by the French company Varnout et Galante. Included here are more than 80 medical surgical and gynecological instruments designed under the supervision of physician and gynecologist Marie Maurice Gariel 1811-1878. The work includes numerous small engraved figures throughout illustrating various products. Each item is numbered for reference with a description some brief and some longer. The products include not only items related to reproductive medicine and women's health such as breast-feeding instruments vaginal douches tampons urethral probes and urinals for incontinence but also more general medical equipment such as crutches braces bandages protective gloves mattress pads for medical beds restraints compression belts and inflatable cushions. <br /> <br /> This publication is notable and intriguing in that it was produced at a time when both the modern medical field of gynecology was in it's infancy and the revolutionary process of vulcanizing rubber was a newly established industry. Only eight years earlier in 1844 American chemist and engineer Charles Goodyear had patented the groundbreaking process for manufacturing this material on an industrial scale and its wide range of potential uses was just starting to be discovered. The introductory pages extoll the virtues of the new technology of vulcanized rubber and include tables comparing vulcanize to un-vulcanized rubber under various metrics. Table of contents at the rear.<br /> <br /> Text in French.<br /> <br /> Wrappers with minor rubbing to extremities and small chips to the bottom right corners of the front cover and at a few points on the spine. Light foxing at the bottom of the back cover. Interior with a very few tiny sporadic stains but otherwise very clean. Wrappers in good interior in very good condition overall. Scarce. Protected in modern mylar. Full title: Catalogue des Appareils et Instruments de Médecine et de Chirurgie en Caoutchouc Vulcanisé Fabriqués sous la Direction Immédiate de M. Le Doctuer Gariel Par Varnout et Galante<br /> <br /> This second printing is the same in every way to the first printing of the previous year save that the printed year at the bottom of the title page has been adjusted to 1852 instead of 1851.<br /> <br /> Marie Maurice Gariel 1811-1878 was a French physician and gynecologist. He was a member of the Société anatomique de Paris Anatomical Society of Paris and a notable figure in the focus of reproductive medicine and women's health at a time when the field of gynecology was in its early stages.

Arranged alphabetically—from <em>Avidum animal</em> to <em>Zelus Zelotipus</em>—the author ironically surveys women's wit eloquence moral qualities and physical appearance combining satire polemic and learned rhetoric. The book also offers insight into early-eighteenth-century Protestant debates on marriage gender and Catholic religious culture.<br />The author was an Amsterdam merchant and former Catholic priest who converted to Calvinism and became known for his vehemently anti-Catholic writings often directed against monastic life and clerical celibacy. <em>Zeege-pralende lof-tooneel der vrouwelyke sexe</em> must be read within this broader religious and ideological agenda: Johannes Mauritius presents Catholic denunciations of women as a deliberate strategy employed by "the Papists" to justify the prohibition of marriage and to lure men into the cloister. He was the father of the prodigy poet jurist and later Suriname governor Joan Jacob Mauricius 1692–1768 whose early intellectual development was shaped by his father's militant anti-Catholicism and literary ambitions.</p><p><strong>Condition: </strong>corners slightly bumped front joint splitting.

1946483421946. Fine. 1946 21.70 x 11.50 cm 7 feuillets foliotés Autograph manuscript by the author 14 pages in octavo published in issue no. 12 December 1945January 1946 of L'Arche. A complete recto-verso manuscript in a densely written hand with numerous deletions corrections and additions. Essay published on the occasion of the release of Father du Lubacs Le Drame de lhumanisme athée. After the war the place of Friedrich Nietzschealongside the Marquis de Sade and Søren Kierkegaardin Maurice Blanchots thought reflects the decisive influence of Georges Bataille and the philosophers he held in highest regard. From this point on Blanchot devoted many texts to these figures and Du côté de Nietzsche stands as a key testimony of that engagement. The very title of his forthcoming collection La Part du feu to be published in 1949 including this article in a slightly revised form is itself a Bataillean reference. For Blanchot Nietzsches power through his use of language and style lies less in his most explicit and oft-commented theses than in the crucible of a more fluid and sometimes self-contradictory discourse: « L'influence de Nietzsche ne se réduit pas aux formes extérieures qu'elle a prises ; c'est probablement au contraire ce qui de Nietzsche a échappé à toute transmission manifeste cette part de lui étrangère aux influences directes qui a exercé l'influence la plus profonde. » This idea would remain central to Blanchots reading of the German philosopher. Nietzsches inconsistency and ambiguity are embodied in the theme of the death of God central to his work: « En aucune façon le thème de la Mort de Dieu ne peut être l'expression d'un savoir définitif ou l'esquisse d'une proposition stable » Blanchot observes. And he famously adds: « Se contredire est le mouvement essentiel d'une telle pensée. » In LEntretien infini 1969 Blanchot would once again revisit the Nietzschean question of the death of God where it meets that of the unity of man. A remarkable text by Maurice Blanchot on Friedrich Nietzsche illustrating the profound influence of Georges Bataille on his thought. unknown
