Goracuchi, Alessandro, Mediziner.
2 eigenh. Briefe mit U. O. O. u. D. bzw. Marseilles, 9. XII. 1831.
Zusammen 2 SS. 4to und 8vo. An den Mediziner Rudolf Rt. von Vivenot (1807-1884): „Nel [...] le mie congratulazioni per la felice tua situazione presente [...] per le consolazioni del cuore che della mente, colgo l‘occasione della partenza da qui per la capitale del Signor Dottor Tyler irlandese che desidera vedere e profitterà dei progressi della Scienza in [...] medicina ed [...]“ (undat. Br.). - „My dear friend! Very much afflicted by your silence, I have hardly courage to write you the present lines, having already sent you two letters, since I left Vienna [...] which you did not answer. I know very well that the impulses of your heart, ever devotes to mankind, and the duties of your profession gave you so great occupations, that you could not find the necessary time to procure me the pleasure of receiving your favours [...]“ (Br. v. 9. XII. 1831). - Des weiteren über die Cholera: „You say that the cholera morbus is not a contagious disease! is it then produced by a peculiar constitution of the atmosphere? if it is so, why do you permit to open the windows, and why do you purify not the air in the room without permitting the introduction of atmospherical air, which is said to be the exciting cause of the cholera? [...]“. - Der Triestiner Arzt Goracuchi lehrte als Professor der Medizin in Venedig. - Rudolf Rt. von Vivenot gründete 1848 den „Konstitutionell-monarchistischen Verein“; als sich die angestrebte Gründung einer patriotischen Partei nicht verwirklichen ließ, zog er sich jedoch aus der aktiven Politik zurück. Seit 1868 Mitglied der Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, wurde er 1872 Vorsitzender des Komitees zur Gründung des Sophienspitals in Wien; daneben war Vivenot Direktor des Unterstützungsvereins für Witwen und Waisen des medizinischen Doktor-Collegiums. - In altem Sammlungsumschlag.

Gordon, Charles G., known as "Chinese Gordon", "Gordon Pasha", and "Gordon of Khartoum", British Army officer and administrator (1833-1885).
Autograph letter signed. Galatz [Galati], 18. X. 1873.
8vo. 3½ pp. on bifolium. To a former Italian member of the European Commission of the Danube who had recently moved to Scutari, Albania, with his family. Gordon expresses his hope that Scutari is a "better exile" than Galati and underlines his regret that he could not personally bid farewell to the family, as he and his friend Romolo Gessi had got lost on a hike and returned too late: "Je espere que vous et Madame et les petites se portent bien, et que vous bien trouvez Scutari un bon exile mieux que l'exile ici. Vous savez que je vous ai telegraphé [...] pour vous dire comme j'ai regretté de manquer dire mes adieux à vous et votre famille. mais j'étais avec Gessi le jour avant dans les forets, et nous nous sommes egarés, et c'etait une demie heure après votre départ que j'ai arrivé [...]". The letter continues with news from the members of the European Commission and Gordon announces his departure to Egypt to replace Sir Samuel Baker as Governor-General of Equatoria: "Ici je n'ai pas grandes nouvelles. Vous savez que [...] s'en va, et que Wolf viendra ici. [...] Schlechta ne revient plus, et je partirai en Egypte dans une mois pour remplacer Sir S. Baker sur Nile, un sujet que vous avec votre grande connaissance des choses generales savez plus que moi". The recent changes in the commission with many members leaving makes it easy for Gordon to part: "je serai tres bien aise de quitter la Commission". - Charles Gordon is today best remembered for the reorganization and successful command of the Chinese "Ever Victorious Army" during the Taiping Revolution (1860-62). In 1871 he was appointed British Member of the European Commission of the Danube. In Romania he again met Romolo Gessi (1831-81), an Italian soldier who had fought in the Crimean War alongside Gordon. Gessi accompanied Gordon when he assumed the position of Governor General of Equatoria (now part of South Sudan). In 1877 Gordon was appointed Governor of Turkish Sudan but left the post two years later due to difficulties with the new khedive of Egypt. Postings to India, China, Mauritius and South Africa followed. After a private sojourn in Jerusalem, where Gordon claimed the so-called "Garden Tomb" to be the burial site of Christ, he returned to Sudan as British commander in the Mahdist War (1881-99) and was killed in the Siege of Khartoum on 26 January 1885. - Folded and brittle. With several small tears (no text loss).

Gordon, Charles G., known as "Chinese Gordon", "Gordon Pasha", and "Gordon of Khartoum", British Army officer and administrator (1833-1885).
Autograph letter signed. Khartoum, Sudan, 12. III. 1879.
Folio. 4 pp. on 4 ff. An important letter on the construction of an overland telegraph line through Africa, to the telegraphic engineer Samuel Canning (1823-1908), a pioneer in submarine telegraphy. Writing while serving as governor-general of the Sudan and engaged in the suppressing of the slave trade and the improvement of communications in the region, Gordon acknowledges the receipt of a letter from Canning on the construction of an overland telegraph line through Africa, and a Royal Geographical Society pamphlet on the same subject: "You ask me if I would recommend to the Egyptian Government, a convention, with a Company, on the basis of the terms alluded to by Mr. Geigler (and Geigler Pasha). I presume you want my outspoken opinion [...] A Company for any such work requires some certain advantages. They do not enter into a scheme like this for love of the Negro or for exploration purposes. Therefore, let me ask you, do you think, even if Egypt made the line up to Uganda, from the north, could the Company make the line up to Uganda, from the south. Even if you did make the line, are you sure of keeping it safe, except with an armed force [...] I doubt entirely, in spite of all the explorers have written, that you could do either one or the other without an armed force. The explorers say this king will do this or that, but they have only the words to go on [...] I am to recommend to the Egyptian Govt. with respect to the extension of the Egyptian line, to Uganda. I would support this extension on the terms which Geigler Pasha has mentioned [...] I should wish to see a lot of penal clauses put in which might bring in the Egyptian Govt. the reproaches of the Counsel General [...] I would prefer the following scheme, which would not compromise Egypt: 1. that the Company should take all receipts for a term of - years, from Khartoum southward, and vice-versa, allowing the Egyptian officials [...] to telegraph free, from stations in Egyptian territory. 2. that the Egyptian Govt. should supply half the cost of labour [...] By this means, Egypt would avoid any chance of interference, by the Company, of by the Counsel General [...] There is no doubt that if the line from the South up to Uganda is not made, then the line from Khartoum to Uganda could be of no use [...]". - Some spotting.

Gordon, Charles G., known as "Chinese Gordon", "Gordon Pasha", and "Gordon of Khartoum", British Army officer and administrator (1833-1885).
Autograph letter signed. Shaka, 8. IV. 1879.
8vo. 2½ pp. on bifolium. To J. H. Gooding in Wadi Halfa, who was employed on the construction of the railway: "Thank you for your kind letter 23 July, and all the information you have given me about the Railway. It matters little to me what the award may be for the Sudan will never pay it. Cairo made the contract and Cairo must pay it. We are now dealing the death blow to the slave trade and Gessi has had some very hard time fighting [...], however he has done splendidly + I hope the revolt is nearly at an end. You have little idea of the danger H. H. was in of losing the Sudan and what a complication that would have been. Sorry you are leaving me but you are right to look to your future [...]".

Et j'aurais dû le faire déjà, si je n'étais absolument débordé par ce déménagement. - Si ma poésie bégaie ne vous paraît pas trop grande (2,50 m haut sur 1 m large) je vieux bien la confier à Mr. Toussains, mais son cadre à déjà bien souffert et je n'ai guère le temps de le faire réparer surtout à ce moment de l'ennui. - Je vous avoue que je suis fort perplexe et si par hasard lundi ou mardi vous veniez dans mon coin [...] vous me trouveriez sûrement et je vous montrerai la malade ou plutôt le malade car c'est le cadre qui l'est le plus [...]". - In a short postscript, Gorguet mentions that he hasn't seen Merson's son Luc-Olivier since his return from holidays. - Minimally stained.

4to. 1 page. With autogr. envelope. In Russian. To the Russian artist Viktor Vasnetsov, asking to be allowed to make a copy of Vasentsov's "Virgin and Child" and mentioning a visit with Chekhov: "A friend of mine who has recently buried his wife would like to place in a chapel above her grave a copy of your 'Madonna and Child'. Be so kind as to tell me - is it possible to copy it? Could you possibly recommend one of your students, a person who is more able than the others to convey the beauty and soul of the original? How much, approximately, would such a copy cost - a copy the size of a human height or a bit smaller? Also, can a painting in oil retain its original integrity in a cold chapel? For answer to all of the questions - two of which are foolish, I presume - I will come to you around the 26th or 27th, and most definitely with Anton Pavlovich [Chekhov] [...]" (transl.). - Viktor Vasnetsov was a celebrated artist, particularly for mythological and historical subjects. In his later career he was responsible for a number of fresco cycles in churches, including in St Vladimir's Cathedral in Kiev and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Warsaw. Only two letters from Gorky to Vasenetsov are known. - In perfect condition.

[i.e. Moura Budberg] said that I received not a single letter from you over the entire summer. You replied that letters had been sent to me and that you had copies of them. Since I am still awaiting the reply to questions I asked you, perhaps you will send me the copies of your letters. I will not discuss how surprised I am at your attitude towards me". - S. G.

Autograph letter signed ("A. Peshkov"). Villa il Sorito, Sorrento, 12. XII. 1924.
4to (277 x 213 mm). 1 p. on squared paper. In Russian. A furious letter to the Russian journalist Solomon Gitmanovich [Kaplun], complaining of Kaplun's failure to write to him: "Sending you two more sonnets of Vyacheslav Ivanov; you have to place these according to the instructions of the author - these are included. Please send the proofs to V.I. [i.e. Ivanov], do not forget! In conformity with your unpleasant habits, you are not replying to my letters, and having sent manuscripts to you I find myself constantly in a state of dismal unawareness, whether you have received them or not. The very least you could do is to ask someone to put one word on a postcard and send it to me: one word: 'received' or two words: 'everything arrived'. If Maria Ignatievna [Budberg] has not yet left for the border states, ask her not to forget about me. How are things with the 6th and 7th issues [i.e. of Beseda]? You are not deaf-mute, are you? (Quotation from Mayakovsky) [...]". - The recipient, S. G. Kaplun (1891-1940), was a journalist and publisher, owner of the Berlin publishing house "Epoch", and publisher of Gorky's literary and scientific journal Beseda from 1922 to 1925. Maria Ignatievna ("Moura") Budberg (1892-1974) was Gorky's secretary and lover, and later became a notorious double-agent. - Left margin with punched holes (not touching text).

Today I am offering you the manuscript of my play, 'Children of the Sun', written during my imprisonment in the Peter and Paul Fortress in St Petersburg. The money you give me for this manuscript will be employed for the work of delivering my people who are sinking under their political burden. It is not proper for me, Sir, to set the price: I ask you to do so according to your opinion, for my intention is to ask you to help me [...]" (transl.). - Gorky provides his address at 4 Vozdvizhenka Street, Moscow, where he lived in furnished rooms at the Peterhof Hotel in 1905. James Carleton Young (1856-1918) was a celebrated American collector; his collection was sold at auction by Anderson Galleries in New York, 1916. - Provenance: Heritage auction, 14 October 2010, lot 34174.

Gorky, Maxim, i. e. Alexei Maximovitch Peshkov, Russian writer (1868-1936).
Autograph letter signed. Sorrento, 28. IX. 1924.
4to (277 x 222 mm). 1 page on squared paper. In Russian. To the Russian journalist Solomon Gitmanovich Kaplun (1891-1940), discussing plans for the next issue of their periodical "Beseda", including works by Ivanov, Khodasevich and the Romanian author Panait Istrati: "I am returning the proofs of my story and 'The snake'. The order: / Story of the unusual / 'The trip' / 'The snake'. But Vyach[eslav] Ivanov will send on similar terms his operetta: will there be enough space for me, [or] will that make the issue too expensive? I wrote to Ivanov to talk to you about the conditions to be negotiated. 'Codine' is a very long piece and will require some cutting. Make a note of both stories by [Upton] Sinclair, and tomorrow I will send you Galsworthy, a small item. / [Vladislav] Khodasevich will be here between 4 and 10 October; he has some poems. / I am suffering with agonising colitis, and this disturbs my life extraordinarily. / For me to be able to cut the over-long 'Codine', I absolutely must have the beginning [...]". - "Codine" was a novel by the Romanian writer Panait Istrati (1884-1935), known as "the Gorky of the Balkans". The recipient, S. G. Kaplun, was a journalist and publisher, owner of the Berlin publishing house "Epoch" and publisher with Gorky of the literary and scientific periodical "Beseda" from 1922 to 1925. - Left margin with punched holes (slightly touching text); some slight damage to edges.

Gorky, Maxim, i. e. Alexei Maximovitch Peshkov, Russian writer (1868-1936).
Autograph manuscript signed (in Cyrillic, "M. Gorky") Berlin, 9. XI. 1921.
4to. ¾ page. In German. Addressed to the editor of a newspaper, Gorky's statement repudiates remarks that have been attributed to him in various newspapers: "From Maxim Gorki, who is staying in Berlin at present for a short time, we have received the following note: / Allow me, dear editor, the polite communication that the interviews with me which have appeared in various journals are to be considered as apocryphal, and that I can in no way assume responsibility for their content. My current state of health does not allow me to undertake conversations with gentlemen of the press; I will however not fail to accede to your wishes as soon as I have the strength to do so" (transl.). - Disenchanted with Lenin's regime and suffering from tuberculosis, Gorky had left Russia in September 1921, initially staying in Berlin; ultimately he was to settle in Sorrento, with an extended household which now included Moura Budberg, his secretary and lover. - Provenance: Sotheby's, 25 May 1983; Heritage, 6 April 2016, lot 49152.

Gorky, Maxim, Russian writer (1868-1963).
Autograph letter signed. N. p., [between 1915 and 1918].
4to. 1 page. In Russian. To an author named Anna Nikolayevna, concerning the possible publication of the novel "Dawns" in Gorky's Parus publishing house. Expecting the rejection of the unfinished manuscript, Gorky advises her either to finish the novel or to turn its prologue into an independent short story: "I asked the editorial staff whether I can send them the manuscript of the prologue to the novel for review and they answered me that this would be useless if the piece is still not finished. I asked about it because, in its current form, they would have surely returned your manuscript, which I wanted to avoid. I have reread the prologue once again and I advise you the following: do not send 'Dawns' anywhere unless you finish the whole piece or turn the prologue into a separate short story" (transl.). - In a short postscript, Gorky refers Anna Nikolayevna to an editor: "At 'Parus' you have to write to Belousov (I hope that I got the surname right, but I think I did), his name is Ivan Nikolayevich". - Maxim Gorky founded Parus together with Alexander Tikhonov and I. P. Ladyzhnikov in 1915 in order to publish the monthly literary review "Letopis" (1915-17), the daily "Novaïa jizn" (1915-18), and books that opposed Russia's involvement in World War I and the war in general. "Letopis" was social-democratically oriented and thus in opposition to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Among its contributors were such important authors as Alexander Bogdanov, Ivan Bunin, Anatole France, Lev Kamenev, Alexandra Kollontai, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Romain Rolland, and H. G. Wells. Although the recipient has not yet been identified, the letter can be dated with respect to 'Parus', which only existed from 1915 to 1918. - Somewhat spotty. Full transcription of the Russian original available.
