From Wikipedia: "Henri Troyat 1 November 1911 2 March 2007 was a Russian born French author biographer historian and novelist. Troyat was born Lev Aslanovich Tarasov Russian: &#1051; &#1077; &#1074; &#1040; &#1089; &#1083; &#1072; &#1085; &#1086; &#1074; &#1080; &#1095; &#1058; &#1072; &#1088; &#1072; &#1089; &#1086; &#1074; Lev Aslanovich Tarasov in Moscow to parents of mixed heritage including Armenian Russian German and Georgian. According to his autobiography he states that his surname is Armenian Torossian while his maternal grandmother was German and his maternal grandfather was of mixed Georgian and Armenian descent. His family fled Russia in anticipation of revolution. After a long exodus taking them to the Caucasus on to Crimea and later by sea to Istanbul and then Venice the family finally settled in Paris in 1920 where young Troyat was schooled and later earned a law degree. The stirring and tragic events of this flight across half Europe are vividly recounted by Troyat in Tant que la terre durera. Troyat received his first literary award Le prix du roman populaire at the age of twenty-four and by twenty-seven he was awarded the Prix Goncourt. He published more than 100 books novels and biographies among them those of Anton Chekhov Catherine the Great Rasputin Fyodor Dostoyevsky Ivan the Terrible and Leo Tolstoy. Troyat's best-known work is La neige en deuil which was adapted as an English-language film in 1956 under the title The Mountain. Troyat was elected as a member of the Académie française in 1959. At the time of his death he was the longest-serving member. Simon and Schuster hardcover‎

A handsome copy.</p><p>Wakefield 1796–1862 promoter of colonization had in 1816 married a young heiress after eloping with her to Scotland but she died in 1820 from complications after childbirth. "Despite being relatively wealthy from the proceeds of his marriage settlement Wakefield's ambition a seat in the Commons demanded more .and in 1826 with the connivance of his brother William Wakefield and his stepmother Frances he abducted an heiress Ellen Turner from her boarding-school near Liverpool. She was fifteen and the daughter of William Turner of Shrigley a wealthy Cheshire manufacturer. Told that her father was dangerously ill Ellen was bundled into a coach and taken to Gretna Green. A second lie that her father's fortune depended on marriage to Wakefield persuaded her to agree to a marriage ceremony. After they were caught by angry relatives at Calais en route for Paris. . After being tried and found guilty the brothers were sentenced to three years apiece . An act of parliament was needed to annul the marriage because according to Scottish law it had been perfectly legal despite the fact it had not been consummated. The case had attracted immense attention and the reputations of the brothers appeared for ever blighted. . However imprisonment proved ironically to be Wakefield's salvation. Given the time for reflection he began the transition from vain and arrogant gadfly to serious student of society and its ills although he remained arrogant and ill-tempered. Part of his time was spent talking to prisoners and discussing the usefulness of imprisonment and in particular capital punishment. His ideas were later published in Facts Relating to the Punishment of Death in the Metropolis 1831 and in evidence to the select committee on secondary punishments 1831. In both he condemned the use of capital punishment for all but the most serious crimes and sought to emphasize the certainty of punishment as the deterrent rather than the harshness of the penalty. His other occupation a corollary of his studies on the causes of crime was to devise a programme of systematic colonization" O.D.N.B.<br />Commencing in 1829-30 Wakefield became through a series of "brilliantly imaginative" writings an influential proponent of colonization offering "a plan based on six principles to overcome the problems of over-population identified by Malthus. Colonies he wrote were unprofitable because they suffered from a scarcity of labour the reverse of the situation in Britain. Emigration must therefore be encouraged" O.D.N.B. Thereafter he became a leading figure in the British colonization of Australia New Zealand and Canada. He "irrevocably altered the temper and style of the British empire in the nineteenth century. He brought to the subject a spark of imaginative genius the vision of systematic colonization and joined it to a far-sighted emphasis on the merits of colonial self-government" O.D.N.B.</p> James Ridgway hardcover‎

The expedition combined scientific observation on geography natural history and Aboriginal populations along with commercial assessments as directed by the Navy and Congress. Herndon divided the expedition into two groups: he appointed Lt. Lardner Gibbon to explore the tributaries while he would explore the Amazon River from source to mouth. Herndon's narrative provided an intimate portrait of an exotic land before the outside world rushed in. His report "so far surpassed his superiors' expectations that instead of printing the obligatory few hundred copies for Congress the secretary of the Navy ordered 10000 copies in the first print run; three months later he ordered 20000 more."</p> A.O.P.
