This is another paragraph Review: In the library of pungent grittily written books on the Vietnam war Tom Bud Abraham's The Cage is something different--something very different indeed. Bud Abraham was one of the very few Englishmen who served in Vietnam. In the late 60s he took part in some of the most carnage-filled battles of the war as an officer in the first Cavalry Division. His courage gained him a slew of medals and he even obtained one of the most prestigious decorations awarded by the American army the Silver Star. n nThis astonishing testimony takes us into the very heart of that nightmare conflict and some passages are positively lacerating in their impact. Captured by the Viet Cong during the Tet offensive Abraham endured torture during the relentless interrogations and his bold escape into the treacherous jungle was a classic case of from frying pan to fire: his ordeal naked hungry terrified brought him Abraham tells us to the level of a beast. n nAbraham's ability to convey his own extreme psychological state is astonishing but not just in terms of the Vietnam war: the book is equally involving when Abraham takes us on to the events that nearly destroyed his life 30 years after the conflict when he had returned to England. Not a book for the squeamish certainly but the final effect of this trenchant and distinguished memoir is genuinely inspiring: a testimony to the endurance of the human spirit. --Barry Forshaw n nReview nAn Englishman's terrifying journey to the dark heart of the Vietnam War.

ABRAHAM CALDWELL and FAMILY
1867 - 1900 ARCHIVE OF FIVE 5 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARIES BELONGING TO THE ABRAHAM CALDWELL FAMILY OF IPSWICH MASSACHUSETTS
IPSWICH MASSACHUSETTS MA. Good. 1867. On offer are five handwritten manuscript journals all having belonged to the Caldwell family who lived in Massachusetts one of the diaries 1870 has the name Ezra S. Vieyes written in it. A casual reading does not determine where Ezra fits in with the Caldwell family but a more detailed reading will hopefully flesh out the relationship. Two of the diaries have the name of the family scion being Abraham Caldwell of Ipswich Massachusetts. Other towns mentioned include Westminster Fitchburg Northborough and Worcester. The diaries represent the years 1867 full of entries 1870 a quarter full 1875 a half filled 1887 fully written and the 1890's. Though not all fully written and the entries suggest illiterate writers these diaries represent a true piece of Americana with a treasure trove of local historical detail and genealogical information. For the medical collector there is an interesting thread running throughout - Mr. Caldwell is quite aged and he catalogues his daily ailments certainly a medical professional may assess his health from his writings. Here are some snippets: 1867 - "February 26th Went to examination. Lizzie Rawson teach good." "March 4th Went to town meeting. Another trial of Shemp decided as it should be." "May 10th Surveyed road to town distance of about 2 � miles 15 ft." "June 17th Golden wedding 75-100 people persons present." "September 13th Took Templers Degrees. Went to town to lecture. Carried B.M. Balch." "October 13th On euqaduct to town meeting for roads. Was chosen on committee." 1887 "January 9th 7 Below. Very cold. Snow flakes flying all day. Ben out very little today. Louitah Lord little more comfortable but very sick." "February 9th Sick all day. From Salem paper I see Mr. Joseph Pusfer died in Salem Oct. 19th 1886. Born July 18th 1798." "March 14th Today I hav made a grait mistak in being two positive when in fact I was rong. My mind is faking me." "June 22nd and 23rd Stage coach below belonged to Appleton farm�. Boiled out sink cess pool very hard job. Had nummness in my arm and shoulder. Stage coach passed to day for Salem." "July 25th Hot and sultry. A young lady came to Mrs. Batysons. Sang for House Benefit." "August 9th Went marsh with North Harris and Negro. Went to Beverly. Stayed at Edwards over night." "August 21st Fine and pleasant. John Billy's mother and sister here. Conrad G to made round Cape Ann." "October 6th Tryed to make some wine. Caried my grapes to Capt. Wilcomb and he pressed them for me." "October 19th Finished pounding the beans then went to Georgetown. Went in to Noisas Shoe factory. Was kindly received and shown from basement up. Felt interest and enjoyed it muh." "December 14th Very warm and Pleasant. Went over to south side river to Mrs. Dolls with Edy B. Escamined his stock." "December 16th Cooler. Gave notice to Mrs. Campbell that I should want the tenement she now ocupies for my own use the first of April next." "December 19th Mrs. Smith at the Invenational House left and fell and broke both arms. Slippery this morn. Bought turkey of Perkins." The 1893-1900 journal in the lot is a handwritten financial journal which has about 100 pages of expense type entries. I believe most of the entries have to do with rentals and money collected for the rentals. This journal has the name John Caldwell written on the inside. The front cover has fallen off of this journal and some of the pages are torn. The first 20 pages have also been torn out and are not accounted for.

ABRAHAM FROST
1857 - 1879 ORIGINAL PAIR OF CRAWFORD COUNTY OHIO LEDGERS DETAILING THE COMMERCE AND COMMUNITY OF PRE CIVIL WAR AND BEYOND CENTRAL OHIO
Ohio U.S. Good. 1857. On offer is an excellent pair of diaries spanning 22 years in the 2nd half of the 19th century in rural Ohio. Full of minute detail of daily life they offer an outstanding window into life at that time. Measuring 12 inches by 7 1/2 inches each has 240 pages. They are essentially 100% complete. The covers are in good shape as are the pages. The writing is legible. Also included are some notes and letters which help locate the author. Abraham Frost began his diary in 1857. Each entry is essentially one line although some do gone on longer. Most are quite brief: "Bin around home to work" Jan 10 1857 "Commenced plowing" Mar 31 1857 "I dug potatoes" Oct 5 1858. Others were longer but no less terse in their description: "Abe and I made fense in the forenoon in the afternoon we went up to Babcocks and got some seed corn" May 27 1858 "Abe and John hauled corn to husk in the forenoon the afternoon I choped sawlogs John husked corn" Jan 31 1860 "I made cider at Dantzers Willis and Shilling picked apples John husked corn" Oct 21 1871. Throughout his entries one gets the impression of a very hardworking diligent man. Frost was obviously successful as a farmer and businessman. He does work for others on their farms and harvests and sells wood. He keeps a record of the people for whom he has threshed grain. There are a number of records of him lending money to others: "$600 June the 10 1858 One year after the date we or either of us promise to Abraham Frost the sum of six hundred dollars for value received at ten per cent interest John Jason Promise". Life was lived at an intensely local level. He makes only a few oblique references to the Civil War which raged for four bloody years. These take the form of references to 'Union meetings': "I was to Crestline to a Union meeting" Aug 22 1863 " . at night I was to town to here Thomas Orr make Union speech" June 27 1863. In the summer of 1863 he travelled to Pittsburgh Harrisburg Philadelphia and Easton PA. No reason for the journey is given. He spent several weeks in Easton visiting friends. In 1876 there is evidence that he was working either full or part-time as a Supervisor for Holmes Township OH: "Holmes Township Road District No 11 This is to certify that William Kerr has performed labor on the public high way to the amount of two dollars and six cents Superintendent Abraham Frost." For some years he records his annual assessments for tax purposes. At times he notes various prices for commodities. Overall this 22 year record paints a detailed picture of a hardworking man who built a successful life in rural Ohio in the 2nd half of the 19th century. For a researcher it offers a tremendous amount of detail about daily farming tasks and relationships within a rural community. Many names are mentioned which can be quite helpful in cross-referencing external information.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1850s 1860s 1870s CIVIL WAR RECONSTRUCTION ERA OHIO UNITED STATES HOLMES TOWNSHIP CRAWFORD COUNTY OH ABRAHAM FROST AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 19TH CENTURY RURAL LIFE IN AMERICA MID-19TH CENTURY OHIO LETTERS DIARY JOURNAL FARMERS FARMING OPERATIONS PUBLIC HIGHWAYS CONSTRUCTION SOCIAL HISTORY ECONOMIC HISTORY LEDGER AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUIT� CONTRAT V�LIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIG�EDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

Abraham, Hilda und Karl Abraham:
Karl Abraham : sein Leben für die Psychoanalyse ; eine Biographie. Von Hilda Abraham. [Aus d. Engl. übertr. von Hans-Horst Henschen].
Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag mit m. kl. Läsuren; Besitzerstempel auf Vorsatz. - (Arbeits-)Exemplar mit Beilagen. - Karl Abraham (* 3. Mai 1877 in Bremen; † 25. Dezember 1925 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Neurologe und Psychiater und als solcher ein bedeutender Vertreter der Psychoanalyse und deren Wegbereiter in Deutschland. ... (wiki) // Die Autorin dieses Buches, Hilda C. Abraham, geb. 1907 in Zürich, war die Tochter des ersten deutschen Psychoanalytikers Dr. Karl Abraham. Sie wuchs in Berlin auf, studierte dort Medizin und wurde nach ihrer Emigration Lehranalytikerin der British Psychoanalytical Society in London. Dort starb sie am 3. Oktober 1971 und hinterließ die fast vollendete Biographie ihres Vaters, die der Kindler Verlag hier vorlegt. Karl Abraham wurde am 3. Mai 1877 in Bremen geboren, drei Tage vor Sigmund Freuds 21. Geburtstag. Karl Abraham hatte in Würzburg und in Freiburg Medizin studiert. Nach intensiver Tätigkeit an der psychiatrischen Anstalt "Burghölzli" in Zürich als Assistenzarzt unter Eugen Bleuler und C. G. Jung als Oberarzt wurde er zu einem der ersten Weggenossen Freuds, dem er bis zu seinem frühen Tod am Weihnachtstag des Jahres 1925 aus wissenschaftlicher Überzeugung und freundschaftlicher Treue verbunden blieb. Karl Abraham hatte sich zum Jahreswechsel 1907/08 als Psychiater und Neurologe in Berlin am Schöneberger Ufer niedergelassen und schon 1908 die erste Zusammenkunft der Berliner Psychoanalytischen Vereinigung abgehalten. Von Berlin aus trieb Abraham die Verbreitung der Psychoanalyse in Deutschland durch sein persönliches Engagement als führender Kopf voran, so daß bereits 1920 von ihm und Dr. Max Eitingon das Berliner Psychoanalytische Institut als erste Lehrstätte in der Welt und als Modell aller zukünftigen gegründet werden konnte. Vierzehn Jahre vor Freuds Tod in London starb sein wohl bedeutendster Schüler Karl Abraham in Berlin. Das Buch wird durch ein hier erstmals veröffentlichtes Dokument ergänzt - eine Aufzeichnung Karl Abrahams über einen neurotischen Kindheitskonflikt seiner Tochter Hilda.

Abram Tertz
A Voice from the Chorus
London: Quartet 1994 This is a remarkable and unique piece of prison literature. Based on the author's letters to his wife during his incarceration in a Soviet forced-labour camp in the 1960s it was published under Andrei Sinyavsky's nom de plume "Abram Tertz" . Because of the strict censorship control over what Sinyavsky could and could not write in these letters his references to camp life and to conditions there are of necessity subtly oblique. More open is the revelation of the inner world of the author's thoughts and reflections. In a richly textured prose of exceptional power he debates major themes such as art religion and the mysteries of human life. He builds extraordinary miniature essays into his letters; whether on the Russian criminal world or on Byzantine emperors the theory of evolution or the importance of the Holy Ghost Irish legend or English literature his range is dazzling. The babble or "chorus" of voices surrounding Sinyavsky in the bleak overcrowded camp compound offset his silent thoughts their language mirroring their spiritual desolation. Yet far from being bleak and bitter Sinyavsky's letters de profundis are full of serenity love and benevolence. Quartet paperback

Hirsz Abramowicz 1881-1960 a prominent Jewish educator writer and cultural activist knew that world and wrote about it and his writings provide a rare eyewitness account of Jewish life during the first half of the twentieth century. Abramowicz was a witness to war revolution and major cultural transformations in the Jewish world. His essays written and originally published in Yiddish between 1920 and 1955 document the local history of Lithuanian Jewry in rural and small-town settings and in the city of Vilna - the 'Jerusalem of Lithuania' - which was a major center of East European Jewish intellectual and cultural life. They shed important light on the daily life of Jews and the flourishing of modern Yiddish culture in Eastern Europe during the early twentieth century and offer a personal perspective on the rise of Jewish radical politics. This remarkable book is at one and the same time a memoir an ethnography and a cultural history of Jewish Vilna and its region in the decades before its devastation in the Second World War" Published in cooperation with YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. .
