213 pages including index and references. "The lovely Gulf Islands of the BC coast have captivated visitors and settlers for almost 150 years. Their tranquil present belies a turbulent past - the pioneers faced cattle rustlers, Indian battles, political upheavals and opium smugglers, but they were still attracted by the islands' independent lifestyle. Everybody worked hard, but they enjoyed themselves too, with tennis parties, picnics and dances that went on till dawn, so the guests could row home safely in daylight. Each island has a different story: Salt Spring exported apples before the Okanagan, Texada boasted an elegant opera house, Lasqueti sheltered notorious robbers, Mayne was known as "Little Hell" for its boisterous pubs. This colourful past is brought together in this volume." - from back cover. Gift greetings inside front cover else clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Sound copy. Book

192546404415Paris, Éditions du Monde Moderne, 1925 ; in-12, broché. 141 pp., 1 f.Introduction d’Albert de Pouvourville : “... il me faut me laver d’un reproche que vont me faire, très haut et très officiellement les Sociétés de tempérance qui exercent un contrôle sévère sur la vertu des contemporains, contrôle qui absout naturellement chacun de leurs membres des atteintes individuelles que, contre ladite vertu, ils ne manquent sans doute pas de commettre en leur privé. Mon ami chinois (l’auteur du livre) qui a la chance extraordinaire de vivre auprès du Jardin des Supplices, dans la récente République aux sept couleurs, ignorera toujours l’excommunication majeure des Sociétés en question, et de la S. D. N. qui en est le chef de file. El la connût-il, il ne ferait qu’en sourire, de ce sourire que mettent aux lèvres humaines cinq mille années de civilisation. Mais moi, citoyen de l’Europe infortunée, j’ai, de ces juges improvisés, une frayeur intense et justifiée. Car je sais leur austère intransigeance : je sais que, par eux, la libre et sèche Amérique, qui pratique le mariage en avion et le divorce au téléphone, a pudiquement réformé la Bible et déclaré que le Lord n’a jamais créé la vigne et que le patriarche Noé n’a jamais bu. (...) Nguyen-Te-Duc-Luat est médecin (...) Il est en outre Tongsang du rite Taoïste, ce qui équivaudrait chez nous à être docteur en théologie et superdocteur en philosophie. C’est un Sage. Son souverain qui honore les lettres, lui a jadis offert un poste de gouverneur. Il a refusé.” Pouvourville précise encore que l’auteur a eu 22 enfants et qu’il fume quotidiennement 30 pipes d’opium depuis le jour de sa puberté. Il a actuellement 74 ans. Le livre du docteur Nguyen est un manuel du fumeur d’opium : examen préparatoire, mécanisme et manipulation, art du fumeur, effets psychiques, théorie psychologique. Conclusion : “Les blancs, pour échapper à la tentation de la fée noire, n’ont qu’à rester paisiblement chez eux.”Un des 200 exemplaires sur beau papier.
