‎Last Watch of the Night: Essays Too Personal and Otherwise‎

‎Harcourt 1994. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. NO writing or tears. 309 pages. Tight spine bright pages. - Paul Monette's autobiography - Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story a searingly honest account of growing up gay in America - won the 1992 National Book Award for Nonfiction. In the year and a half since even as he battles full-blown AIDS he has been writing essays on a variety of subjects. A portrait of his dog as they endure together the losses of friends and then the ravages of the author's own illness. An atheist's appreciation of the saintliness of priests. A meditation on a lifetime of travel that is also an inquiry into the meaning of time. The 1993 March on Washington and what it means to be gay and lesbian now in a time of rising bigotry and intolerance. Monette excoriates with Swiftian vigor the do-nothing politicians so-called Christians and halfhearted journalists. Throughout as a kind of counterpoint he examines the medical and emotional landscape of his illness with references to the Classical world and the genius of English poetry. He is by turns philosophical humorous self-critical. With Borrowed Time and Becoming a Man these essays constitute the third volume of Paul Monette's autobiographical writing. Freewheeling and yet focused brimming with outrage and yet tender Last Watch of the Night represents a profound personal reconciliation but also a testament to the struggle for freedom of all gay and lesbian people. Annotation This collection of essays constitutes the third volume of National Book Award winner Paul Monette's autobiographical writings. Among the pieces featured are Monette's portrait of his dog as they endure loss together an atheist's appreciation of the saintliness of a priest and a rumination on what it's like to be gay and lesbian today.

‎Le Djihad Histoire secr�te des hommes et des r�seaux en Europe‎

‎Ramsay 2004 L'auteur s'interroge sur la destination de possibles op�rations futures en Europe et apporte des r�ponses coh�rentes aux menaces. Dans ce combat politique il ne faut pas n�gliger les effets des choix religieux sur lesquels repose Al Qa�da : l'objectif de cette organisation est avant tout de parcourir le chemin du sacrifice qui m�ne au martyre. D'o� la difficult� � combattre ses engagements. D'o� la possible assimilation de cette mouvance avec un nouveau fascisme. Claude Moniquet dresse un tableau tr�s complet et remarquablement inform� sur la force actuelle d'Al-Qa�a et de la mouvance du Djihad. Il est le premier sp�cialiste � avoir exclu la th�se d'un acte terroriste de l'ETA apr�s les attentats de Madrid. Ramsay paperback‎

‎Ferrara Benedetto Mamarello 1590. Small 8vo. Later half vellum with gilt title-label to spine. Marbbled paper over boards. A faint damp stain to the last few leaves otherwise a nice and clean copy. Old ownership-signature to last leaf. Bookplate to inside of front board. Large woodcut device to title-page. Woodcut initials and headpieces at beginning. 8 170 5 pp. � The very scarce first edition of the first translation into any language of any part of Montaigne's Essays namely Naselli's monumental first Italian translation which came to pave the way for later translations of the work among them Florio's first English from 1603. <br><br>Montaigne's magnum opus was published in 1580 and in 1588 the final edition appeared constituting the definitive text of the work and that on which all later editions were based. With his seminal work Montaigne not only created a novel genre of writing he also founded modern scepticism and the revival of ancient scepticism and he paved the way for the modern philosophy and thought presented by Bacon Decartes and Newton. <br>"Unlike anti-intellectuals like Erasmus Montaigne developed his doubts through reasoning. Unlike his skeptical predecessors who presented mainly a series of reports on the variety of human opinions Montaigne worked out his complete Pyrrhonism through a sequence of levels of doubt culminating in some crucial philosophical difficulties. The occurrence of Montaigne's revitalization of the Pyrrhonism of Sextus Empiricus coming at a time when the intellectual world of the 16th century was collapsing made the "nouveau Pyrrhonisme" of Montaigne not the blind alley that historians like Copleston and Weber have portrayed but one of the crucial forces in the formation of modern thought. It was also to be the womb of modern thought in that it led to the attempt either to refute the new Pyrrhonism or to find a way of living with it." Popkin vol. II 1960 pp. 54-55. <br><br>There are many important aspects of Montaigne's groundbreaking work which has been subject of an uncountable number of scholars throughout centuries. But one aspect which seems to have been forgotten in recent times is one that is emphasized by Naselli's extremely important first ever translation of the work. As the Italian title will reveal the work was also widely viewed - and intended - as a political council book. <br><br>Naselli bases his translation on Montaigne's own final edition from 1588 and publishes it merely two years later including 42 of 94 chapters of the first two books. His translation is the one closest in time to the original appearance of the work and is the only one published in Montaigne's own life-time. It is thus in a unique position to tell us about contemporary views on the work and its use. <br><br>"One enormously important prose genre upon which Montaigne draws most heavily consists of political advice books for courtiers and princes that proliferated in great number and with great social and political impact in the late Renaissance. Montaigne's appropriation of the political counsel genre has gone largely unnoticed by contemporary scholars and bringing it into focus has significant implications for our understanding of the "Essais". bringing it to the foreground allows us to challenge more robustly the common conclusion that Montaigne's unique project "is not a political work."<br>Many in the first generation of Montaigne's reception appear to have seen the "Essais" principally as a contribution to the political contribution to the political counsel literature. For example Girolamo Naselli's 1590 Italian translation of the "Essais is titled "Discorsi morali politici e military" while John Florio follows Naselli's lead in the title of his 1603 English translation "The Essayes or Morall politike and militaire discourses". And when Francis Bacon enthusiastically adopts Montaigne's novel "Essai"-form for his own ends he does so as a useful means of giving "Councels Civill and Morall" not simply musings personal and poetic." Thompson Montaigne and the Tolerance of Politics p. 21. <br><br>As is mentioned on the title-page this first translation also contains another long "questione". "In this deliberative discourse very different in kind from anything a modern reader would associate with "Essais" and apparently composed soon after the winter 1576-7 Estates General of Blois the author argues methodically and resolutely against those at the assembly who in a public "ragionamento" demonstrated the employment of foreigners in a republic to be universally undesirable and who nearly succeeded in having this position passed into law."
