‎Die Geschichte vom Prinzen Genji, wie sie geschrieben wurde um das Jahr eintausend unserer Zeitrechnung von Murasaki, genannt Shikibu, Hofdame der Kaiserin von Japan : [Mit Holzschnitten nach e. japan.] Ausg. von 1672.‎

‎Frankfurt a.M. ; Wien ; Zürich : Büchergilde Gutenberg 1966. 1094 S. ; 8°, mit Schutzumschlag, SU Rücken etwas aufgehellt und fleckig, gebundene Ausgabe, Leinen, Dünndruckpapier‎

‎Genje-monogatari --- »Die Geschichte vom Prinzen Genji« schwelgt in den Liebesabenteuern des schönen Helden und erzählt in unvergesslichen Szenen vom Leben am kaiserlichen Hof der Heian-Zeit. Geboren in der Hauptstadt des damaligen Reiches, dem heutigen Kyoto, wächst Prinz Genji mit einem ausgefeilten höfischen Zeremoniell auf. Insbesondere Musik und Dichtung verleihen scheinbar Alltäglichem den Glanz der Ewigkeit. So verzaubert der hochgebildete, empfindsame Mann die Frauen von Jugend an mit einem gelungenen Bogenschuss oder einem geistvollen Gedicht zur rechten Zeit. Selbst Machtintrigen können ihm nichts anhaben. Erst als seine Favoritin stirbt, verlässt Genji der Lebensmut. Verlagsanzeige / Klappentext Japa‎

The fair, visited by nearly 50 million, displayed many technological innovations, including the Grande Roue de Paris Ferris wheel, the moving sidewalk, diesel engines, talking films, escalators, and the telegraphone (the first magnetic audio recorder). It also brought international attention to the Art Nouveau style. Additionally, it showcased France as a major colonial power through numerous pavilions built on the hill of the Trocadero Palace. Major structures remaining from the Exposition include the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, the Pont Alexandre III, the Gare d'Orsay railroad station (now the Musée d'Orsay) and two original entrances of Paris Métro stations by Hector Guimard''.(wikipedia)‎

Over 100.000 people were confirmed dead from this catastrophe, many in firestorms because it happened during lunchtime when people were preparing food on open fires. As the earthquake broke water mains all over the city putting out the fires took nearly two full days; a few hundred-thousand houses were destroyed by fire alone. The Home Ministry declared martial law to rebuild order and security after anti Korean sentiments turned into massive prosecuting and killing of asian ethnic group-members. The destruction of the city was such that it became a serious discussion to move the capital. . . - Binding slightly dusty, corners of the binding rubbed, frontpanel loose; else a beautiful copy.‎
