Very Good English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 16 volumes set: (Apprx. 3900 p). B/w ills. First full Turkish Edition of 'Arabian nights'. Eski zamanlarda Hin ve Çin diyarlarinda hüküm süren Sehriyar ve Sahzaman adli iki kardes hükümdar, karilari tarafindan aldatilmak felaketine ugramislar. Bu olaylarin etkisiyle Sehriyar, kendi ülkesinde, her gün bir kizla evlenip ertesi gün onu idam ettirir olmus; bu yüzden vezirin güzel, bilgili ve akilli kizi Sehrazat, hükümdarla evlenip ya bu ugurda yasamini yitirmeye ya da kurtulup ülkenin tüm kadinlarini da bu beladan kurtarmaya karar vermis; babasini da buna ikna etmis. O gece gerdege girmeden önce, hükümdardan son dilek olarak kizkardesi Dünyazat'i görmek istemis; Dünyazat da ondan son bir dilekte bulunmus: 'Ne olursun ablacigim, o güzel masallarindan birini son defa bana anlat!'. Hükümdardan ruhsat aldiktan sonra, ilginç ve merak uyandiran bir masal anlatmaya baslamis Sehrazat; ve safak sökerken en heyecanli yerinde kesmis masalini: Gündüz masal anlatilmaz diye. Ne var ki Dünyazat kadar, Hükümdar Sehriyar da meraklanarak masalin sonunu getirmek üzere onun canini bagislamis. Birbirinden güzel masallari birbirine ekleyerek binbir gece masal anlatmis Sehrazat. Bu arada hükümdarla sevismeyi de sürdürerek üç çocuk sahibi olmus. Binbir Gece Masallari'nin temasi, 'Kadinin sadakatsizligi' üzerine kurulmustur denebilir. Ne var ki Sehrazat, kadinin: Ana, es, kizkardes ve kiz çocuk olarak varligini yücelten, belki de dünyada ilk (Aristofanes'in Lysistrata'si ilk sayilirsa, ikinci) ve en önemli feminist görüsü olusturabilecek bir karsi tez getirmektedir. Kitaplar bütünüyle sadakat ve sadakatsizligin genis bir sentezini yapmakta ve sonunda Sehrazat'in fikri üstün gelmektedir. Ancak bu genis sentez 'masal içinde masal' seklinde labirentlerle dolu bir sisteme oturtulmustur. Sonunda da bu labirentlerden rahatça kurtulma olanagini saglamistir. Tüm dünyada fikir ve sanat hayatini genis sekilde etkileyen Binbir Gece Masallari'nin gerçek degeri 19. yüzyilin sonu ve 20. yüzyilin bunlari 16 cilt olarak, oldugu gibi, Arapça'dan aktaran Dr. Joseph-Charles Mardrus'ün çabalarindan sonra ortaya çikti. Her bir cildi ayni yillarda yasayan Stephane Mallarme, Anatole France, Jose-Maria Heredia, Andre Gide, Maurice de Maeternick, Pierre Louys, Remy de Gourmond gibi edebiyatçilara adanan Dr. Mardrus'ün çevirisi, edebî çevrelerde, daha önce Galland'inkine gösterilen ilgiden de öte bir ilgi gördü. Binbir Gece Masallari son yüzyillarda fikir ve edebiyati etkiledigi gibi, opera, bale, tiyatro, sinema gibi diger sanatlarca da ele alinarak degerlendirildi. Masallarin kaynaginin Çin'den Kuzey Afrika'ya kadar uzanan bir haritada: Çin Hindi, Hindistan, Iran, Irak, Türkiye, Suriye ve Misir'i da içeren cografyalarda artik bilinmektedir. Bu kitabin tamamlanacak on alti cildini de ilkinden baslayarak zevkle ve keyifle okuyacagin,zi umuyoruz. 'From promotion text of Alim Serif Onaran'.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In modern very aesthetic full leather bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script. 197, [2], [1] p. Altin isik. Ziya Gökalp, whose real name is Mehmet Ziya was born on March 23,1876 in Diyarbair. Ziya Gökalp started his education in Diyarbakir, and moved to Istanbul in 1895 to attend the school for veterinary medicine. During this stage of his life, he met important political figures of the era such as Ibrahim Temo and Ishak Sukûti. He was much influenced by the Young Turks movement and joined the political reform movement Ittihat ve Terakki (Committee of Union and Progress). He was arrested in 1898 because of his dissident activities and spent a year in prison. After his release, he was sent to exile to Diyarbakir where he worked on a minor governmental assignments. After the declaration of the second constitutional monarchy, he established a branch of Ittihat ve Terakki in Diyarbakir, and became its representative. He published the Peyman newspaper. In 1909, he attended the Ittihat ve Terakki Congress held in Thessalonica as the Diyarbakir delegate. The next year, he was elected member to the central administrative council of this organization in Thessalonica. He taught sociology courses in Ittihat Terakki's school, which he had helped establish in 1910. In the mean time, he also published the Genç Kalemler periodical. In 1912, he was elected as a representative of Ergani Maden to the Meclis-i Mebusan (Parliament), and he moved to Istanbul. He was also one of the founders of the association Türk Ocagi (The Turkish Hearth). He wrote about nationalism and Turkish nationalism in the publication of this association Turk Yurdu, and in many other publications such as Halka Dogru, Islam Mecmuasi, Milli Tetebbular Mecmuasi, Iktisadiyat Mecmuasi, Içtimaiyat Mecmuasi and Yeni Mecmua. In the mean time, he taught sociology at the Darülfünun-u Osmani (Istanbul University). During the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Ziya Gökalp sought to fashion a new national identity. In essence, his philosophy consisted of the effort of synthesizing the ethical and cultural values native to Turkish society, and certain values borrowed from the west. He summarized this approach as 'becoming Turkish, Muslim, and modern', and he took the cultural component from Turkish nationalism, and the ethical component from Islam. Gokalp defended that the constructive element of international culture were national cultures and he gave priority to folk literature over court literature. He believed in the importance of positive sciences, which had made the technological and scientific development of the West possible and considered religion as an auxiliary element on the way to reach religious and social unity. His social model was influenced by Emile Durkheim's theoretical concept of 'solidarism'. He opted for this model because unlike liberalism, which was based on the individual, and Marxism, which was based on class struggle, solidarism considered vocational organizations as the essential social unit. He wrote countless articles explaining his social and political views, and he systematized the concept of Turkish nationalism. He played an important role in the establishment and the development of Turkish national literature. In spite of the verse works and the poetry that he wrote in defense of Turkish nationalism, recent history Turkish cultural tends to acknowledge him more as a figure of political struggle. Ziya Gökalp earned great respect on the basis of his life of political activism. Leaving an indelible mark on the development of Turkish national identity, Gokalp died on October 25, 1924 as a citizen of the newly founded Republic of Turkey.

12mo., First Edition thus, with an engraved title-vignette, some light age-soiling; later boards, calf back lettered in gilt, a very good, firm copy. With 1p. publisher's advertisement at end. Scarce variant of the popular novel and moral tale by John Moore, physician, writer and biographer of Smollett, his friend and patient. The hero is a Sicilian, brought up without restraint, who begins by squeezing a pet sparrow to death and who, after a selfish career, dies of a wound received in a duel. 'Tracing the windings of vice and delineating the disgusting features of villainy are unpleasant tasks, and some people cannot bear to contemplate such a picture. It is fair, therefore, to warn readers of this turn of mind not to pursue the story of Zeluco' (DNB). The work was first published in 1786; CBEL gives at least seven editions by 1800. This variant, with the alternative spelling of the title, appears to be scarce; we have been unable to trace any institutional copy (including BL, Bodleian, CUL, NLC, NLS, Trinity Dublin and others). It may well be an unrecorded pirate. See CBEL II, p.549; DNB.

108 pages. "What I have learned of the logging and loggers has been picked up in the Coast districts of Washington and British Columbia. That I have tried to picture unusual characters amongst loggers, and have said little of the unnumbered thousands of fine upstanding, many men in the industry, is not that I'm unaware of them.

And the characters I attempt to picture are not fictitious, nor are the incidents in which they are involved." - from author's note to the reader.
