With the scarce dustwrapper which is a little age-toned and slightly worn and frayed around the margins. It seems to be unrecorded that there are actually two issues of the first edition. In this copy which I believe to be the second issue the plates are bound throughout the book and appear opposite the page of text to which they refer and the illustration list has been completely reset to allow for this. In the first issue the plates were all grouped in the first third of the book. . First Edition. Cloth. Good. Headley Brothers Hardcover

Manuscrit autographe sign� Le Probl�me d'Extr�me Orient
1940. Manuscrit. Tr�s bon. En Feuilles. Sign� par l'auteur. In-4. circa octobre 1940 Manuscrit autographe de 9 ff. in-4 anopistographes environ 30 lignes par page sign� in-fine. Quelques ratures. Un manuscrit probablement in�dit tr�s lisible. Dans ce projet d'article Claude Farr�re �voque longuement l'invasion japonaise de la Chine puis la r�cente invasion du Haut Laos et du Haut Tonkin. Il pr�voit une extension du conflit car les bases navales de l'Indochine coupent Hong-Kong de Singapour et remarque qu'une "extension des conflits actuels �terait � la plan�te le peu de chances qui lui restent de jamais retrouver une paix durable et une civilisation bas�e sur le droit la justice l'ordre et la libert�". L'article se termine par des consid�rations sur les bienfaits apport�s par la colonisation fran�aise de l'Indochine respectueuse des croyances des moeurs et des tr�sors culturels. Et Claude Farr�re de conclure : "J'ai peur que leur bonheur celui des "populations douces et na�ves du Cambodge du Laos de l'Annam et du Tonkin" h�las ! ne soit fini."

Farson Daniel
A Dry Ship to the Mountains : Down the Volga and Acroos the Cucasus in My Father;s Footsteps
London: Michael Joseph. 1994 "Daniel Farson had a lifelong yearning to complete his father's 1929 attempt to cross the Klukhor Pass in the Caucasus on horseback. At sixty-four "abominably unhealthy" he determined to try. He envisaged a restful though jolly cruise down the Volga and an idyllic journey across the great mountain range. How wrong he was. The Pipkin - as Farson named the unpronounceable ship - lacked romance comfort and to his dismay alcohol; "niet" delivered with satisfaction was the unusual responose to every request even for water. Coinciding with the 1991 coup he joined bewildered crowds ashore demanding "Where is Gorbachev" Back aboard he was interrogated by the KGB. When he eventually reached the Caucasus his ardous climb became increasingly fraught as the horses collapsed and the porters deserted him on the day of the ascent. But the journey - which Farson contrasts tellingly with his father's - was as enriching as it was unpredictable. He warmly recalls the exceptional friendships he made - with Vladimir an invaluable ally on the Pipkin his loyal interpreter Yuri and his guide Ali whom he could trust with his life - and the overwhelming hospitality he received. With critical insight and enthusiasm he conveys his curiosity about the Caucasian past. And in the stupendous scale infinite variety and charming village life of the mountains he experienced the magic of the Caucasus. Farson's narrative is a delight distinguished by his observation of Russia and its people at a traumatic moment humour and honest in the face of adversity - and not least his sheer relish of adventure.' 245p. illus. index. maps on endpapers. 1st.UK Ed.
