Original publisher's dark ivory illustrated wrappers with titling in red. 1f. recto half-title verso copyright 1f. recto title verso blank 1f. recto cast list verso blank 9-88 pp. On laid paper with text within thin light green rule. With decorative headpieces by Cesari printed in light green. <br/><br/>Publisher's blindstamp to inner lower corner of first few leaves dated 4 April 1924. <br/><br/>Wrappers slightly worn; spine slightly split. Some light foxing. First Edition. <br/><br/>Nerone was first performed in Milan at La Scala on 1 May 1924. <br/><br/>"Nerone which had engaged Boito's attention irregularly for nearly 60 years was finally performed six years after his death on 1 May 1924 at La Scala in a version extensively revised by a committee consisting of Toscanini Antonio Smareglia and Vincenzo Tommasini . Nerone exists in two versions: in five acts as in the printed libretto of 1901 and in four acts as in the printed score. The excised fifth act for which Boito sketched music presents Nero playing Aeschylus's Orestes while Rome burns. The four-act version ends with the death of the Christian convert Rubria. All in all Nerone possesses great originality vividly contrasting pagan magic imperial corruption and Christian caritas. It is arguably Boito's finest achievement."

Rebacked with most of original worn backstrip mounted. 22cm. Covers faded worn and scuffed. Contents sound although lacking the folding map. Translated from the original German by H. W. Dulcken. A worn and mapless copy of a scarce work. Peters was a bit of an adventurer. It seems unclear whether his actions during this expedition were sanctioned by Germany. At any rate Germany and Great Britain concluded the second Anglo-German Agreement on July 1 1890 under which any claims to East African territory secured by Peters for Germany were casually abandoned by the Germans. Peters was later sent to Africa as a German colonial official but highhanded mistreatment of Africans led to his dismissal and forfeiture of his pension rights. Undaunted Peters moved to England and continued as an adventurer and promoter. <br/><br/> Ward, Lock, and Co hardcover books‎

‎Feynman Richard 1918 88‎

‎RICHARD FEYNMAN THEATRICAL COLLECTION: The Theoretical Physicist as Thespian‎

‎A small collection associated with Richard Feynman's involvement with Theatre Arts at the California Institute of Technology TACIT. All the materials are from the estate of Shirley Marneus who founded TACIT and directed stage productions at Caltech for more than 20 years.<br/><br/>Feynman was already regarded as the most brilliant influential and iconoclastic figure in his field when Marneus approached the theoretical physicist who had been a member of the Caltech staff since 1949 about performing in a 1977 production of Guys and Dolls. Feynman recalled this moment in his irreverent memoir Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman 1985 ".at Caltech there's a group that puts on plays. Some of the actors are Caltech students; others are from outside. When there's a small part such as a policeman who's supposed to arrest somebody they get one of the professors to do it. It's always a big joke - the professor comes on and arrests somebody and goes off again. A few years ago the group was doing Guys and Dolls and there was a scene where the main guy takes the girl to Havana and they're in a nightclub. The director thought it would be a good idea to have the bongo player on the stage in the nightclub be me." Feynman was an enthusiastic amateur player of bongo and conga drums having developed a passion for samba music during his 1951-52 sabbatical in Brazil.<br/><br/>In her remembrance of Feynman for The California Tech a campus weekly Marneus recalled ".immediately he wanted to find out more about the stage about acting how to do it well to really go for the principles of the form. And though his research classes conferences kept him on a rigorous schedule he always made time to come back to TACIT each time fresh yet more skilled each time challenging himself. Finally as the Sewer King in The Madwoman of Chaillot he pulled off a little jewel of characterization - a mix of wry humour weary insight delicious dubiety determined that the 'good guys' in the play should at least have a chance to win. The subtleties and loving details of his performance how he 'saucered 'n blowed' his tea with an elegant lift to his pinkie finger were noticed by a reviewer who praised his work. This worried him: 'Now I gotta be good!' He was. He was just the best. While he suffered no flatterers and few fools his in-home courtesy was incredible. For instance while he was rehearsing for Kismet he was appointed to the President's Commission on the Challenger explosion. He called me the same night to explain and to ask if I'd understand if he quit the show."<br/><br/>Included in this collection is a first edition of the posthumously published Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track: The Letters of Richard P. Feynman which is inscribed by Feynman's daughter editor Michelle Feynman to Shirley Marneus: "For Shirley I know my father thought the world of you - as do I. All the best Michelle Feynman". Also present here are:<br/><br/>The original cast information sheet for what is perhaps Feynman's most memorable role: the High Priest in TACIT's 1982 production of South Pacific. It includes Feynman's contact information and complete measurements including shoe and hat sizes.<br/><br/>The rehearsal schedule for South Pacific which notes a production meeting with Richard Feynman and fellow Caltech physicist Robert B. Leighton who played the High Priest's assistant<br/><br/>Programs for six of the productions in which Feynman appeared and is credited: Guys and Dolls South Pacific four copies The Lady's Not for Burning The Madwoman of Chaillot Kismet and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying<br/><br/>Cast list organized by scene for TACIT's 1978 production of Fiorello! in which Feynman appeared as a gangster<br/><br/>1983 Caltech Faculty Roster in which Feynman is identified as the Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics alongside his portrait<br/><br/>Memorial program insert 18 copies dedicating an unnamed production to Feynman "who brought the same compassion integrity and sense of joy to each of his roles as he did to all other aspects of his life." It lists all eight TACIT productions in which he appeared.<br/><br/>Some toning and soiling to the programs. Guys and Dolls is hole punched along the left margin and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is folded in half. Overall the material is very good or better condition. unknown books‎

Aries was a French medieval historian and friend of Michel Foucault. He is best known for his book Centuries of Childhood 1962 which presents childhood as a social construction rather than an actual physiological state. The other focus of his academic career somewhat paradoxically was the evolution of western societies' concept of death. In Western Attitudes Towards Death he argues that as religiosity has waned societies have become increasingly reluctant to confront death directly. / "Proposing that there is a permanent relationship between one's idea of death and one's self Aries explains how and why death ceased being a familiar routine forgetting of a self and has become a wild feeling of personal failure." –jacket.
