PETRA Vincenzo - PESSINA Enrico.
La guerra saffica tra V. Petra ed E. Pessina.
L'opera è un'aspra polemica tra Vincenzo Petra ed Enrico Pessina, sostenitore quest'ultimo di Arabia Tommaso, al quale venne censurato un suo lavoro, Saffo, messo in scena dalla compagnia diretta da Adamo Alberti. Il successo fu enorme, specie per il fatto che Saffo veniva presentata come incitatrice di virtù civili e patriottiche, ma la censura interruppe le rappresentazioni dopo la dodicesima serata. Parte della critica, soprattutto quella accademica, lo attaccò violentemente e, pur riconoscendone il valore poetico, non rilevò in lui alcuna validità come tragediografo. Dall'Indice: Avvertenza. Sul Saffo di T. Arabia. Intorno alla tragedia. Critica di critica. Polemica. Note alla polemica. Critica di critica. Esemplare perfetto. Brossura cartacea coeva, pp. 43, in 8°

Petrantoni Giuseppe
I turcarabi
brossura Una comune inesattezza vuole che, con i termini arabo e turco, si intenda la stessa popolazione, le stesse tradizioni, la stessa lingua, lo stesso credo. In realtà, come l'autore de "I Turcarabi" sottolinea fortemente, è ingiusto catalogare sotto la stessa etichetta due popoli che, in comune, hanno perlopiù un ideale, quello della religione musulmana, ma che, per la loro storia e il loro carattere, risultano assolutamente differenti.

23 pages. Plus many photographic illustrations and a large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 8x 19.25 inches (20 x 49cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is an exceptional report Arabia expedition report which includes a fold out colour map and a profusion of plates illustrating the author's journey from the Persian Gulf to the red Sea. Philby was a British explorer, official and author, joined the British Foreign Service in 1917 and was the first European to visit the southern desert of Arabia. Philby was the first European to enter Abha, the capital of Najran, the frontier district between the Wahhabis and the Yemenites, and the second to visit Shabwa, although he was the first to explore the ruins where he discovered the great temple of Astarte. During Philby's explorations of Arabia, he came into contact with Ibn Saud, and was greatly influenced by the Wahabi ideology and culture, converting to Islam and renouncing his faith in Christianity.
