‎Sylla et son destin. Récit de jadis et de toujours.‎

‎Flammarion, 1922, in-12, 286 pp, broché, bon état‎

‎"... Comment cet homme qui joignait à d’écrasantes besognes de journaliste et de directeur l’effroyable surcroît des tournées de conférences en province, des réunions de faubourg, sans parler de son assiduité aux séances de la Chambre (quand il était député, il n’en manquait pas une), comment Léon Daudet trouvait-il encore le loisir de rêver, de composer et d'écrire des romans ? Ses journées avaient donc quarante heures ? Sachant ce qu'était alors sa vie quotidienne, quelle ne fut pas notre stupeur à Bainville et à moi lorsque Léon Daudet, en 1922, nous apporta Sylla et son destin ! Toute son hérédité latine, méditerranéenne, toute sa méditation de politique, toute sa volonté de grand réactionnaire qu’'alarmaient les périls de la cité, s'étaient concentrées autour du nom de Sylla. Ce nom avait agi sur lui comme une métaphore soudaine, comme une grande image de lutte qui avait tout fixé dans son orbe. C'étaient les vivantes similitudes qu’il avait découvertes entre la position politique de Rome en l’an 87 avant Jésus-Christ et celle de la France de 1922, qui avaient conduit Daudet à étudier le caractère du grand Romain, son génie d’action, et à montrer en lui un de ces hommes à qui incomba le génie de l'espèce. Et comment n’eût-on pas été frappé de ce qu'il y avait d’autobiographie dans ce récit de l’aventure syllanienne, de consanguinité entre son héros et lui ? Ce qui se dégageait du livre de Daudet, dans la lumière de l'évidence, c'était que ce tonique de l'autorité reste le même à toutes les époques et que, dans ce domaine, il ne peut pas plus y avoir de changement qu’il n’y en a dans la constitution anatomique et physiologique du cerveau humain ! De Sylla, Léon Daudet avait fait le poème de l’Ordre et de l'Autorité." (Henri Massis, Maurras et notre temps) — "Léon Daudet rêva la dictature. Cela donna un livre, Sylla et son destin, où Daudet se vit dictateur..." (Georges Valois, L’homme contre l’argent. Souvenirs de dix ans 1918-1928) Désormais les frais d'envoi sont de 6 € seulement pour les livres jusqu'à 1 kg (colissimo suivi), pour la France métropolitaine.‎

‎THE ROMAN CONQUEST OF ITALY‎

‎Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; This is an account of the turbulent centuries in which the forces of Rome subdued the peoples of Italy, incorporated their aristocracies and created, by the end of the first-century BC, a unified Italian state of Roman citizens. At the time of the second Punic War when Hannibal descended from the Alps, Italy consisted of several ancient settlements and peoples: among them, the Gauls in the North, the Etruscans in the centre, the Greeks on the Southern coasts and in Sicily, and the indigenous Phoenicians in Sardinia. The Romans themselves occupied little more than one-tenth of what is now modern Italy. The process by which these people were incorporated into the Roman Polity was violent and effective. The state that Augustus inherited was not only the largest in the ancient world, but efficiently ordered and administered from the Roman centre. The book opens with a description of the peoples of Italy at around the end of the fourth-century BC. It describes the early success of Roman diplomacy and force in creating client populations among the Etruscans, the Latins and the Hellenized populations of the south. Hannibal's invasion both accelerated and accentuated the process of incorporation. Those people who sided with the Carthaginians were ruthlessly punished, their lands confiscated and tens of thousands massacred. Those people siding with the Romans required their protection. Whereas at the beginning of the period the Italian peoples sought to preserve their independence and ethnic traditions, by its end those who had not achieved Roman citizenship were demanding it, by argument and by force. The author shows how the social and civil wars stemmed more from a desire for inclusion in the Roman state than independence from it. Jean-Michel David describes the dramatic change in the Roman economy and polity during the period. He also examines the causes and consequences of the changes in population that took place, including the effects of the enslavement and importation of large numbers of defeated rebels (including, for example, over one million Gauls). By the end of the period many of the slaves had, too, graduated by a process of emancipation and economic well-being to the citizenship which had once held them in thrall. This is a history of the formative years of Roman power. It takes full account of recent scholarship and archaeological discoveries in Italy. ; 218 pages‎

‎Catalogue Systematique et Raisonne des curiosites . de M. Dávila‎

‎Paris: Briasson 1767. 8vo 3 vols. 7 11/16 x 4 5/8 inches. 36 571; 6 656; 6 290 286 1 pp. 30 engraved plates some folding. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards spines in six compartments with raised bands ruled and lettered in gilt with armorial crests in two compartments red edges.<br/> <br/>First and only edition of this comprehensive catalog of the Parisian curiosity collection of Pedro Dávila.<br/> <br/>Pedro Franco Dávila was born in Guayaquil in present-day Peru and studied natural sciences in Lima before moving to Paris in 1740. He took an interest in collecting around that time and over the course of 20 years he amassed the largest collection of natural history specimens in all of Paris. He sought to preserve it by establishing an institution in Spain but after King Carlos III rejected his request Dávila was forced to put the collection up for auction to settle the debts he incurred in building it. The Dávila catalogue as it became known was prepared as a sale catalogue when he sold the collection off in Paris prior to returning to his native Peru. Considering the size of the collection the sale became one of the major auction events of that time period and the catalogue was distributed widely in Paris London Amsterdam Rotterdam and Basel. The catalogue describes 8096 mineral specimens from a broad range of places including Canada Mexico and Paraguay. It further describes over 12000 prints and engravings 1741 original artworks 441 maps plus various scientific instruments and precious stones. It also lists 5253 shells 600 preserved animals 101 plants 3915 fossils 154 bezoars and calculi and 402 books. "Dávila had already written many descriptions but it was his introduction through Balthasar Sage to the young Romé de l'Isle that created this remarkable record of the collection. Romé de l'Isle took the existing material added considerably to the mineralogical descriptions and put the catalog into publishable form. In this task he was assisted by Abbé Duguat who helped with the mineralogical descriptions and Abbé Gua de Malves 1712-1786 who described the shells. Through their efforts two volumes describing natural history specimens were produced one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In addition a third volume written by Romé de l'Isle probably with assistance from Pierre Remy describes the fossils artwork and books. "The published catalog provides a detailed insight into his collection his special tastes and preferences. The major value of the collection lay in its superb mineral specimens many of which were finely crystallized examples. Romé de l'Isle fully described the many fine mineralogical specimens which included examples of native silver from Norway cassiterite from the Dutch East Indies crocoite from Siberia pyrite from Columbia and calcite from Saxony etc." The Mineralogical Record. Dávila was able to make more than enough to pay off his creditors and subsequently began to amass a second collection. Within three years in October 1771 King Carlos III agreed to accept this second collection and Dávila became the founder and first director of the Royal Cabinet of Natural History of Madrid now known as the National Museum of Natural Sciences where his specimens are still located today.<br/> <br/>Nissen ZBI 1050; Wilson 209; Conlon 67:1238; Sinkankas 1594.

‎In Praise of Barbarians: Essays against Empire‎

‎8vo, br. ed. The author of City of Quartz and Planet of Slums attacks the current fashion for empires and white men’s burdens in this blistering collection of radical essays. He skewers contemporary idols such as Mel Gibson, Niall Ferguson, and Howard Dean; unlocks some secret doors in the Pentagon and the California prison system; visits Star Wars in the Arctic and vigilantes on the border; predicts ethnic cleansing in New Orleans more than a year before Katrina; recalls the anarchist avengers of the 1890s and teeny-bopper” riots on the Sunset Strip in the 1960s; discusses the moral bankruptcy of the Democrats in Kansas and West Virginia; remembers Private Ivan,” who defeated fascism; and looks at the future of capitalism from the top of Hubbert’s Peak. No writer in the United States today brings together analysis and history as comprehensively and elegantly as Mike Davis. In these contemporary, interventionist essays, Davis goes beyond critique to offer real solutions and concrete possibilities for change. Writer, historian, and activist Mike Davis is the author many books, including City of Quartz, The Ecology of Fear, The Monster at Our Door, and Planet of Slums. Davis teaches in the Department of History at the University of California at Irvine, and lives in San Diego.‎

‎One Virgin Too Many‎

‎Set in Vespasian's Rome. yet another adventure involving the detecting skills of Marcus Didius Falco (and Helena) "A frightened child approaches Roman informer Marcus Didius Falco, pleading for help. Nobody believes Gaia"s story that a relation wants to kill her - and neither does he. Beset by his own family troubles, by his new responsibilities as Procurator of the Sacred Poultry, and by the continuing search for a new partner, he turns her away. Immediately he regrets it. Gaia has been selected as the new Vestal Virgin, and when she disappears Falco is officially asked to investigate - closely watched by Titus Caesar, whose new ladylove Berenice is under suspicion from scandalmongers, and by his two ex-partners Petronius and Anacrites, who both have personal reasons to hope he will slip up. Aelianus, the resentful brother of Falco"s girlfriend Helena, is also aiming to join the establishment. In the Sacred Grove of the Arval Brothers, Aelianus stumbles on a gruesome corpse, which then disappears. He too asks Falco for advice, and as their delicate enquiries proceed among Rome"s most ancient and influential cults, it becomes clear that the murder, its obvious cover-up, and the fate of the missing child may all be mysteriously linked. Finding Gaia is then a race against time, ending in Falco"s most terrifying exploit yet.... " 292p. Book‎
