19413840Paris: Presses Universitaires de France 1941. First edition. Paperback. Very Good. True first edition inscribed by Halbwachs to a Sorbonne colleague philosopher Rene Le Senne. Halbwachs was later taken by the Nazis and died at Buchenwald in 1945. Halbwachs' death is described in Jorge Semprun's harrowing account of the concentration camp. Halbwachs first studied philosophy with Henri Bergson but later became Emile Durkheim's most important student. The Legendary Topography is his masterpiece one of the truly great works of European sociology. The book is by far the most sophisticated discussion of how the monuments we see in the Holy Land were created by humans looking for the sacred. Halbwachs reaches an intellectually elegant and humane conclusion about the shrines of the Holy Land: "These are not traces of a human or supernatural individual but rather of groups animated by a collective faith that remains moving even if one does not really know its true nature." The first edition is rare and inscribed copies are nearly impossble. Book is clean throughout paper loss at the base of the spine just clipping off "de France" at the bottom of the publisher's information still very good. <br/><br/> Presses Universitaires de France paperback

194716078Paris: Imprimerie National 1947. First edition of Allais' groundbreaking work. Octavo 2 volumes original wrappers as issued. Inscribed by Maurice Allais on the title page of volume one. From the library of fellow Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow with his name in each volume. In near fine condition with light shelfwear minor mending to the first few pages of volume one. A nice association linking these two Nobel Prize winning-economists and giants of twentieth century economics. In Économie & Intérêt Maurice Allais introduced the first overlapping generations model later popularized by Paul Samuelson in 1958 introduced the golden rule of optimal growth later popularized by Edmund Phelps or described the transaction demand for money rule later found in William Baumol's work. In 1988 Maurice Allais became the first French citizen to receive the Nobel Prize in economics. He won it for his contribution to the understanding of market behavior and the efficient use of resources. Allais also showed that his insights could be applied to help set efficient prices for state-owned monopolies of which France had many. Allais’s work paralleled and sometimes preceded similar work done by English-speaking economists Sir John Hicks and Paul Samuelson. He also proved a result in growth theory in 1947 that had been credited to Edmund Phelps. Allais did not get credit as early as his English counterparts because his work was in French. “Had Allais’ earliest writings been in English†commented Paul Samuelson “a generation of economic theory would have taken a different course.†Imprimerie National unknown

179028433Au Port Louis de l'Isle de France: L'Imprimerie Royale 1790. Folio. 13 x 8 1/4 inches. X2 A6. 4 1-9 3. 16 pp. Letterpress printed. Front wrapper printed black. Folded sheets three leaves loose. Title with woodcut Preface by Jollivet and Balu Instructions given by the Colony of the Isle of France to M. M. Collin and Coderc Articles I-XXI List of 31 signatories. Text in French. On laid paper watermarked with a crown cross and lion symbol. Woodcut printer's ornaments tail-piece. Early Mauritius imprint printed a year into the French Revolution from when it was the French colony of Isle de France; this letterpress document instructs the colony's deputies in the Assemblée Nationale in Paris on 21 articles.<br/> <br/> Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius then known as the Isle de France. Isle de France was a French colony in the Indian Ocean from 1715 to 1810 comprising the African island now known as Mauritius and its dependent territories. It was governed by the French East India Company and formed part of the French colonial empire. Under the French the island witnessed major changes including the importation of enslaved people and the undertaking of vast infrastructural works that transformed the capital Port Louis into a major center of shipping warehousing and commerce. The present document records the steps made to establish what was largely an autonomous self-government of the colony a year into the French Revolution that was raging in Paris. Printing started in Mauritius in 1768. During the French colonial period until 1810 only about four hundred imprints were produced mostly official documents and newspapers though there are also almanacs and a few other sundry items. All are rare. No copies located in OCLC and it is not recorded by Toussaint in his bibliography of Mauritius imprints. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton in 1710 the Dutch abandoned the colony. The French soon claimed it as "Isle de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the nineteenth century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base and as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810. The Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the twentieth century its agricultural production was expanded to include tea rice and other crops. L'Imprimerie Royale unknown

Each item in the collection was published in French.<br /><br /> A unique collection of books and associated ephemera presented by Jacques Maritain 1882-1973 and his wife Raїssa Maritain 1883-1960 to Maurice de Gandillac. Jacques Maritain was an influential Catholic philosopher whose work helped generate a modern revival of Thomism and Aristotelianism. Maritain was a prolific author publishing over 60 books and his works and thought were highly influential throughout Europe and the United States. Maritain was instrumental in the development and drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and his religious and philosophical thought profoundly influenced Pope Paul VI to whom Maritain had acted as friend and mentor. Maritain's projects spanned many fields including philosophy religion politics aesthetics and the philosophy of science and among his enduring legacies is his promotion of integral humanism-a Christian humanism capable of giving expression to man's spiritual character and unlike secular humanism uniting rather than dividing the whole of human experience. Jacques Maritain studied at the Sorbonne and it was there that he met Raїssa Oumançoff a Russian Jewish émigré whom he would marry in 1904. Raїssa was a successful poet and noted mystic who would partner with her husband in a lifelong quest for the truth. Prior to their marriage in 1901 Jacques and Raїssa had joined in a suicide pact after becoming disillusioned with scientism i.e. the materialist view that truth only consists in what can be empirically verified in accordance with the scientific method and vowed to end their lives if they could not discover a deeper meaning to life within the year. The couple was spared death when they encountered the possibility of the absolute in the teachings of famed French philosopher Henri Bergson at the Collège de France. Jacques and Raїssa converted to Catholicism in 1906 and their studies thereafter led them to the works of Aquinas Aristotle and the neo-Thomists and Aristotelians. Jacques Maritain would become a lecturer at several institutions in France and the United States including Columbia University the University of Chicago the University of Notre Dame and Princeton University. From 1945 to 1948 he served as the French ambassador to the Holy See. Jacques and Raїssa maintained friendly and professional connections with esteemed French philosopher Maurice de Gandillac 1906-2006 who taught the history of Medieval and Renaissance philosophy at the Sorbonne. Gandillac wrote his thesis under the venerated Thomist Étienne Gilson and would go on to mentor and supervise the doctoral dissertations of a number of celebrated French academics including Louis Althusser Jean-François Lyotard Gilles Deleuze Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. This collection of rare books and associated ephemera is from Gandillac's private library and consists of works inscribed to Gandillac by Jacques and Raїssa Maritain including works of philosophy religion and aesthetics as well as a prospectus for a collection of poems by Raїssa. A truly unique collection of works that were passed from and between a few of the most influential and respected minds of the twentieth century-thinkers who works and thought continue to influence our modern world. Five rare books and associated ephemera (all published in French) from the private library of Maurice de Gandillac, 1930-1966

Additionally inscribed to Sendak by three others related to the publication of this work. In fine condition. Maurice Sendak author of Where the Wild Things Are is often hailed as “the Picasso of children’s books.†He has produced more than 85 books which have populated children’s imaginations for years. For his contributions to children’s literature Sendak received the third biennial Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration in 1970 one of two inaugural Astrid Lindgren Memorial Awards in 2003 and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal from the professional children’s librarians in 1983. An exceptional association. Based on a story de Brunhoff's wife created for their children The Story of Babar was born. It is the tale of a young elephant who escapes a hunter in his native jungle and comes to appreciate the civilization and fine things of the big city. He later returns to the jungle where he is crowned King of the Elephant Kingdom for the wisdom and civility he has gained in his travels. The book enjoyed immediate success upon publication and de Brunhoff went on to publish six more stories in the series before his death in 1937. His son Laurent de Brunhoff carried on the series and it was made into an animated television series in Canada which ran a total of 65 episodes between 1889 and 1991. "Like an extravagant piece of poetry the interplay between few words and many pictures commonly called the picture book is a difficult exquisite and most easily collapsible form that few have mastered.Jean de Brunhoff was a master of this form. Between 1931 and 1937 he completed a body of work that forever changed the face of the illustrated book" Maurice Sendak. Random House unknown

1945483521945. Fine. 1945 22 x 11.50 cm 8 feuillets foliotés Autograph manuscript by the author of 16 octavo pages published in number 8 August 1945 of L'Arche under the title: Some Reflections on Surrealism. Complete recto-verso manuscript with very dense writing containing numerous deletions corrections and additions. Some Reflections on Surrealism forms the first important text that Maurice Blanchot devoted to André Breton's movement. He rehabilitates surrealism which placed at the center of its activity the question of language and experience - aspects that could not leave Blanchot indifferent - without forgetting to make the following observations: it carries within it a part of failure and its ""situation . remains ambiguous"". Now increasingly asserting his aesthetic positions Blanchot fully recognizes the poetic and experimental value of automatic writing for its very radicalism: ""Automatic writing is . a war machine against reflection and language. It is destined to humiliate human pride particularly in the form that traditional culture has given it. But in reality it is itself a proud aspiration to a mode of knowledge and it has opened to words a new unlimited credit."" Blanchot continues his reflection and insists on the questionings of surrealist writers and poets regarding discourse: ""Surrealism was haunted by this idea: that there was that there had to be a moment . when language was not discourse but reality itself without however ceasing to be the proper reality of language . The surrealists drew brilliant literary consequences from this 'discovery' but for language the effects are more ambiguous and more varied. In this domain they still seem above all to be destroyers. They are unleashed against discourse; they withdraw from it the right to signify something; as a means of social of precise designation they break it ferociously. Language appears somewhat alone annihilated or sacrificed but humiliated. In reality it is a matter of something quite different and even the contrary: language disappears as instrument but that is because it has become subject. Through automatic writing it has benefited from the highest promotion ."" The text would be reprinted in The Work of Fire 1949 not without Blanchot having taken care to attenuate the reservations he expressed in the initial article. First important monographic study devoted by Maurice Blanchot to the question of surrealist language. unknown
