‎1941 - 1943 ORIGINAL WORLD WAR II MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF WAR SERVICE WITHIN BESEECHING PRAYERS SOULFUL CONFESSION AND PERHAPS SUPPRESSED HOMOSEXUALITY HANDWRITTEN BY THE AUSTRALIAN YMCA REPRESENTATIVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST‎

‎PALESTINE EGYPT THE HOLYLAND PRE WAR ISRAEL. Good. 1941. On offer is an original absolutely fascinating 1941 - 1943 World War II manuscript diary handwritten by Mr. J.G. Manning the Australian YMCA representative in Palestine. The YMCA was dedicated to providing the armed services with many services critical to moral to soldiers throughout the world. Manning writes over 200 pages of entries starting 25th November 1941 in Palestine going to Egypt then Libya back to Palestine then to Sydney and Brisbane then to New Guinea and ending on 10 March 1943. Besides the fact that Manning's perspective of the War as an Australian representative of the YMCA is in itself unique what makes this diary so uncommon in our experience is the fact that Manning's diary is a history of his war experience observations and thoughts within a religious confessional on the paper upon which he writes. Every day he writes a prayer every day he cries out to his Creator every day he prays for hope health safety and strength and a hundred other things. He constantly uses the word 'surrendered' as he surrenders himself to his duty to God and he surrenders himself to his way of life he surrenders himself to his responsibilities. He constantly writes of his love and prayers for his wife and boys but a number of times he writes of surrendering himself to certain feelings. The mention of a number of men in his circle within the same entry leads us to believe that he was desperately trying to suppress homosexual feelings and in many ways was suppressing his feelings with his religious devotions. The 6½ x 4 inch book has some general ageing and rubbing but is overall G.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF YMCA REPRESENTATIVE J. G.

‎JIM CARREY DANA VACHON‎

‎RECUERDOS Y DESINFORMACIÓN‎

‎Nada de esto es real pero todo es verdad. Jim Carrey. Recuerdos y desinformación es una novela casi autobiográfica que nos abre las puertas al lado oscuro de Hollywood. Recuerdos y desinformación es un viaje al corazón de esa fábrica de sueños que es Hollywood con sus sanguinarios agentes y sus vulnerables y frívolas celebridades. Es también una desafiante novela semiautobiográfica en la que lo real y lo imaginario se trenzan hasta explotar. Y es ante todo una valiente reflexión sobre el privilegio la amistad el amor la adicción a la relevancia y la búsqueda de sentido en la vida.Nuestra historia empieza con Jim Carrey en modo mortal: tumbado en la cama viendo Netflix. Puede que el mundo aún lo recuerde y que los paparazzi se resistan a dejarlo en paz pero él se siente solo. Su mejor momento pasó y hasta podría decirse que ha engordado. Por mucho que lo intenta ni las dietas ni los gurús ni sus rottweilers logran disipar la nube de vacío y hastío que pende sobre su cabeza. Ni siquiera los sabios consejos de su mejor amigo Nicolas Cage consiguen sacarlo de esta depresiónEntonces Jim conoce a la bella Georgie: el ingenuo y despiadado amor de su vida. Y gracias al guionista Charlie Kaufman llega a sus manos un papel que puede ayudarlo a liberar su auténtico potencial a expandir sus límites ¡su billete para el Oscar! ¡Las cosas están mejorando!Pero el universo tiene otros planes. El universo siempre tiene otros planes.‎

‎JIM DICKINSON, RDSN‎

‎1961 ORIGINAL SUPER 'BELOW DECKS' MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A RADIO OPERATOR ABOARD THE STORIED USS SHANGRI LA ON ITS SHAKEDOWN CRUISE PRIOR TO SERVICE IN VIETNAM‎

‎ASEA ABOARD THE USS SHANGRI LA. Good. 1961. On offer is a super original group of two 2 1961 diaries and journals of a noted aircraft carrier's Mediterranean shakedown cruise handwritten by Jim Dickinson RDSN a radar man aboard the storied USS Shangri - La. Commissioned in 1944 the Attack Carrier Shangri-La participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations in World War II earning two battle stars. Like many of her sister ships she was decommissioned shortly after the end of the war but was modernized and recommissioned in the early 1950s and redesignated as an attack carrier CVA. She operated in both the Pacific and Atlantic/Mediterranean for several years and late in her career was redesignated as an anti-submarine carrier CVS. She earned three battle stars for service in the Vietnam War. Between 1961 and 1970 Shangri-La alternated between deployments to the Mediterranean and operations in the western Atlantic out of Mayport. She sailed east for her first tour of duty with the 6th Fleet on 2 February 1961 and this is the handwritten account of her first we believe Mediterranean tour. The 6 by 3.5 inch diaries are each approximately 146 pages the first book being full second perhaps half are a real below deck 'swabbie' account much on drunken nights fights and police chases a lot of shakedown blues lousy chow heads that don't work and the like and a modicum of writing about actual duties by a personable US Navy Serviceman.

‎1886 - 1908 ARCHIVE OF HANDWRITTEN AND TYPESCRIPT LETTERS BACK HOME FROM AN INTELLIGENT OBSERVANT SENIOR MINER WRITING HOME FROM THE WILDS OF IDAHO AND SOUTH AFRICA AND THE HORRORS OF THE BOER WAR‎

‎COUR D'LENE IDAHO JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA. Very Good. 1886. On offer is a sensational archive of 18 multi page letters most handwritten and some typescript from Jim Miller to his mother and sister. Mr. Miller was a senior gold and silver miner who had worked in the western United States and in Africa mostly. The letters some on company letterhead date from 1886 to 1908 and each are several pages long and diary-like having great content. Mr. Miller is an intelligent and charismatic writer detailing his work and adventures and the archive is especially rich regarding his times working for one of the largest mining operations in Southern Africa during the Boer War. He has many many striking insights observations and comments regarding the conflict. Here are some snippets: "I started out in the summer on a prospecting trip got so far into the mountains that I didn't know where I was went all by guess had no idea where I would come out and cared less. Came out finally at Lewistown on the line of Washington and Idaho Territory after traveling about five hundred miles over the toughest part of the territory. Had no particular place to go so I came to the Cour D'lene to seek my fortune. The town of Wardner is less than a year old and has over one thousand inhabitants and still increasing. The biggest mines that have ever been found in Idaho are supposed to be those that worked in and around Wardner. This country is well represented by Black Hillers the town is named after one of them. It is safe to say that one half of the people in the Cour D'lene country are from the hills. The first one that I have met since I left the hills was in Wardner. This is about like all other mining camps the principle business places are saloons and gambling halls with a few stores. The English papers would lead one to believe that British and Boer have shook hands and agree to be friends that day will never come. When the Boer prisoner returns to his farm and finds only the remains of his house what was once his happy home it will take years and years if ever they do forget the useless destruction of their homes. He is going to invite you to spend the summer with them and they would take a trip through the national park. I would like to have you go and I will pay all expenses. It will be your first chance to visit the western country and maybe George might invite you to stop at Denver the only city in the west. Labour troubles both white and black strikes are the order of the day. If it was not for the Martial law one would not know that the country was in a state of war although there are plenty of columns moving about this district about all they seem to do is travel back and forth over the same road. It is reported that all the Boer leaders are being wined and dined by the British at various centers entertained at the expense of the British taxpayer. Rumor there is a possibility of a general surrender under the terms offered anxious for peace before the coronation. This is a much larger mine then I was on in the states. It is now the third largest gold producing mine in Africa provided we get sufficient native labour it will be the largest Gold Producing Mine in the world we employ 500 white men and 3000 native. When the reports of the San Francisco disaster reached Johannesburg there were many anxious people waiting telegrams from Fathers Mothers Sisters or Brothers who were living in or near the city. I know the part that was destroyed really better than I know Joliet. Have been in Spokane four weeks trying to settle up some business. The Superintendent at the mines is more despised than Cleveland and he is considered the meanest man in the United States. The Sup has to have a body guard. I intend to start for Lewiston Idaho tomorrow expect will have a time getting there as the streams are rising very fast. The snow has been very heavy in the mountains this winter. We started to unwater the mine pumping and hauling at the rate of one million gallans per 24 hours I am unable to say how long it will take. Had a breakdown in one of the shafts and it took weeks to repair it. During that time kept the mill running from one shaft. That was the most trying time I have ever had on a mine. Can buy a woman in this country for 200 dollars in Mexican money good able bodied one quite capable of doing a mans work. While waiting at Elk City for supplies I received work from Mr Clement offering me a good position in Africa. The principle topic of the day is the unsettled question of the importation of unskilled labour there is one thing certain they can not work this country without plenty of cheap unskilled labour. The mining industry of this country is only in its infancy. It is impossible to get sufficient native labour for the natives will not work. Not being able to get up to the mines has been a great disappointment. One consolation there are thousands of others in the same fix. The less the british people say about this war the more they will shine for they have nothing to be proud of. They have been the laughing stock of the world. It seems the British Army are like their women give them time and they will finish it. There have been several instances where the Boers have surrounded and captured parties of British while the officers were enjoying a dance. Of course that is not allowed to be made public. Those in the field know everything is lost and they will continue the guerilla war as long as they know their families are well provided for the by the British. Some of the preachers who are encouraging them were taken out and shot as they have done with some Boers who went on commando again after being released. Everyone outside of military are thoroughly sick and disgusted with the whole business." Included with the archive of letter is a small account book kept by his sister in the early 1900s and a cabinet card of Mr. Miller.

‎JM (or GEORGE) WEATHER and SAMUEL BENN J M‎

‎c1904 THREE 3 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN FIELD BOOKS OF THE EXTENSIVE DETAILED AND PLANNED WORK REQUIRED TO REBUILD THE TOWN OF ABERDEEN WASHINGTON AFTER IT HAD BURNT TO THE GROUND A YEAR EARLIER‎

‎ABERDEEN WASHINGTON WA. Good. 1904. On offer are three 3 original field books most probably written in 1904 and detailing the rebuilding of the city of Aberdeen Washington after a raging fire destroyed the town. On October 16 1903 a raging fire destroyed 140 buildings in the center of Aberdeen Washington. A city constructed primarily of wood including sidewalks Aberdeen had little chance of stopping the fire once it began to spread. Obviously the city needed to rebuild its streets after the fire. Two people one by the name of Weatherwax and the other by the name of Benn seem to have been hired to do the task. Weatherwax is most probably J.M. Weatherwax or George Weatherwax two men who owned a large lumber company in Aberdeen and Benn is most probably Samuel Benn. The three books are labelled P-138 book 44 P-214 book 105 and P-215 book 106. Each book contains an index at the beginning which lays out what streets in the city are written about. For example book P-215 deals with information on old planks new elevations storm sewers street levels and more on the 20 different street including ‘Michigan Ave’ ‘Jefferson St.’ ‘Washington St.’ and more. The books are excellent artifacts of city construction from the early 20th century containing dozens of pages of detailed schematics drawings charts and figures for the city of Aberdeen in the wake of its destruction. There are approximately 450 handwritten pages over the three books. The books each measure 7 ¼” by 4 ¼” inches. All three show sustained use and strong wear. For the most part the structural integrity is still there however the last book P-215 shows the most wear with parts of the book disconnected from the binding. Two of the books shows evidence of taping to the spine and boards. These books are a fascinating look at the intricacies and details of rebuilding a city after its destruction and an intimate part at the history of Aberdeen Washington a place that Kurt Cobain would eventually call home. Background: On October 16 1903 a fire destroys 140 buildings in the center of Aberdeen. Fed by wood-frame structures wooden sidewalks and sawdust fill the fire rages unchecked until some 20 acres have burned. The fire will spur the city leaders to enact a more stringent fire code. On the morning of October 16 1903 a resident of the Arctic Hotel began making breakfast in his room. An accidental fire started and the room was quickly engulfed in flames killing the lone occupant. Within minutes the three-story frame structure was ablaze and the fire spread to adjoining buildings including the fire station and jail.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ABERDEEN WASHINGTON FIELD BOOKS TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY 1903 ABERDEEN FIRE MILL TOWNS J.M.

‎Guter Zustand. - Bei mindestens zwei Generationen der heute in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland lebenden Menschen hörte der Geschichtsunterricht bei der Weimarer Republik auf. Da eine eingehende historische, politische und soziale Auseinandersetzung mit dem Nationalsozialismus bei vielen Menschen nicht stattfand, sind die zeitgeschichtlichen Vorstellungen, die Erinnerungen an die NS-Zeit, die Eroberungsfeldzüge und Judenvernichtung auch für manche nicht so von Interesse. Die deutsche Geschichte von 1933 bis 1945 ist für viele Mitmenschen eine ganz unverständliche Entgleisung, an der man nicht schuld ist und für die es auch ? außer Hitler ? kaum einen Verantwortlichen gab. Vorgefaßte Meinung und Teilwissen statt Auseinandersetzen, lautet bei vielen Mitbürgern, die zum Teil der laufenden Berichte, Vorwürfe und Schilderungen der NS-Verbrechen überdrüssig sind, die Parole. Mit einer inzwischen gebildeten Meinung ist sicher leichter umzugehen als mit einer gezielten Auseinandersetzung der unheilvollen Vergangenheit der NS-Zeit und deren Personen. Die ab Mitte des vorigen Jahrhunderts in allen europäischen Staaten vorhandene Meinung, daß der nationale Egoismus etwas Ehrenhaftes sei und nur die eigenen nationalen Belange ausschlaggebende Faktoren der Politik wären, hatte zu zwei Weltkriegen geführt, die von deutscher Seite angefangen und verloren worden sind. Zwölf Jahre Herrschaft Hitlers, davon fünf Jahre Krieg, an dem sich 92 Millionen Menschen der ganzen Welt beteiligten, von denen über 52 Millionen den Tod fanden, darunter sechs Millionen systematisch ausgerotteter Juden, haben die Deutschen zu einer gewissen Geschichtslosigkeit verdammt. Nach der Teilung des Deutschen Reiches 1945 durch die Alliierten in drei Teile (Polen, DDR und die Bundesrepublik) verdrängten viele nicht nur die furchtbare Periode der Naziherrschaft, sondern auch die nationale historische Vergangenheit. Viele Buchautoren, die sich mit Hitler und dem Nazi-Regime beschäftigten, und noch dazu keine Historiker waren, begründeten daher im Vorwort ihrer Arbeiten, warum sie dieses Thema gewählt haben. Es scheint manchmal heute noch so, daß die Beschäftigung mit der NS-Vergangenheit und der Person Hitlers ? obwohl eben Teil deutscher Geschichte ? suspekt sind. Das Leben Hitlers, dieses mit extremen Verfehlungen und Verbrechen belasteten Menschen, ist zwar teilweise verhältnismäßig gut erforscht, es ist aber ein sehr merkwürdiges Leben mit einigen »dunklen Stellen«. Vor allem von der Zeit vom November 1918 bis Juni 1919, ist über Hitlers frühe politische Tätigkeit und Einstellung bisher sehr wenig bekannt geworden. Was besitzt Hitler heute noch an Interessantem, daß immer wieder über ihn geschrieben wird, heißt eine der anderen Fragen. Ist es der Eroberer, der Herr der Welt werden wollte, der zur Befriedigung seiner persönlichen Vorstellungen und seines Ehrgeizes eine ganze Welt in einen Krieg stürzte? Ist es das Phänomen Hitler, dem es gelang Millionen Menschen für seine Idee vom Nationalsozialismus und der Größe Deutschlands zu begeistern? Liegt es daran, daß eine große Zahl von Menschen irgendwo geheime Machtphantasien hegt, wie Hitler? Hoffen Menschen durch die Lektüre über Hitler die dunklen Stellen der menschlichen Natur begreifen zu können ? ohne daß sie eine Antwort finden? Oder ist es die Faszination von Uniform, Marschschritt und kalkulierter Massenmobilisierung ? die zum Massenwahn führte ? sowie auf der anderen Seite Gewalt, Verbrechen und Mord die Menschen immer wieder sensationslüstern schaudern machen? Es ist ein uraltes, allerdings etwas merkwürdiges Interesse an finsteren Gestalten der Geschichte, und Hitler, als Inbegriff der bösen und kriminellen Ausprägung eines Politikers und Ideologen im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert, ist daher keine Ausnahme. ? Wer daran arbeitet, Hitler als bösen Dämon darzustellen, als Inkarnation des Bösen, der hilft einerseits mit, ihn als Faszinosum zu erhalten«, meinte Arno Plack in seinem Buch »Wie oft wird Hitler noch besiegt«, zum anderen lenkt er eine psychologische Entlastungsstrategie, die alle Verantwortung für das, was geschehen konnte, diesem einen Manne zuschreibt, ohne die Wechselbeziehungen zu beachten, die allemal zwischen einem Führer und den von ihm Geführten bestehen. Diese Wechselbeziehung feststellen, heißt nicht die Kollektivschuld-These bejahen.« Immer wird bei Hitler-Biographen kritisiert, daß sie sich zu sehr auf die Person Hitlers stützen und damit angeblich wesentliche Voraussetzungen seines Wirkens und seiner Wirkung außer acht bleiben. Gegenstand der Geschichte ist aber letztlich immer der Mensch, die Darstellung menschlichen Verhaltens. Um die Folgen und Auswirkungen, die der Nationalist, Rassenfanatiker, Politiker und Kriegsherr Hitler in persona auslöste, zu verstehen, kann man die Person Hitlers, in ihrer Entwick-ang und Prägung, nicht vernachlässigen: Hitler war der »Motor«, der alles antrieb!

‎JOANA BONET ANNA CABALLE‎

‎MI VIDA ES MIA‎

‎Todo empezó a partir de una idea: proponer un premio literario que rescatara las vidas de las mujeres contadas por ellas mismas. ¿Cómo son? ¿Qué les preocupa? ¿Adonde se dirigen? La vida de la mujer corriente es un vacío ni las biografías ni los libros de historia la mencionan. Su experiencia vital sólo la conocemos a través de lo que otros han dicho y escrito sobre ella. La mayoría de sus conductas han sido esterotipadas por la literatura o los medios de comunicación. Ahora ha llegado el momento de que las mujeres hablen con franqueza sobre lo que piensan lo que sueñan para combatir su insatisfacción...Muchas de las autobiografías y diarios leídos reflejan una queja común de nuestro tiempo: el aislamiento la falta de proyectos que permitan encauzar las inquietudes individuales. Pero también son una clara muestra de la ironía el sentido del humor y la capacidad desmitificadora de la mujer actual... El peso del amor y la búsqueda de nuevos modelos de pareja la homosexualidad la importancia de la vida famiiar los hijos las dudas ante la maternidad la preocupación por un cuerpo perfecto los hombres el sexo las crisis de la adolescencia...Mi vida es mía explora la vida real de las mujeres de hoy a través de sus escritos personales. E incluye una valiosa antología: 44 relatos que permitirán al lector llevar a cabo su propio viaje al país de la escritura secreta.‎

‎JOANNA S EVELETH‎

‎1879 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY HARDWORKING SICKLY BANGOR MAINE SCHOOL TEACHER‎

‎BANGOR MAINE ME. Very Good. 1879. On offer is an interesting completely filled 1879 manuscript diary and relic of Bangor Maine handwritten by Joanna S. Eveleth unsigned but identified from other ephemera the free-endpaper has the signature of her father A.S. Eveleth Bangor a hardworking but ill young woman who besides all the everyday chores a 20 something woman might have also taught school. The diary opens with Joanna at normal school taking exams in arithmetic grammar and geography studying a lot fixing her clothes going on an occasional sleigh ride etc. On one page she says School is the only interesting part of my life but a day or so later she complains there is nothing but school and study and nothing wonderful has happened. By mid-February she is summoned home where both parents and several other relatives are ill. From that point on the diary is filled with entries about the local weather various chores around the house visits to and from various friends and relatives letters written and received etc. By the time she's been home for two weeks she has decided to stay at home this spring rather than return to school although Father tries to convince her to return. On March 6 she receives a letter saying 'I was elected to N. Bangor school as teacher. I did not know that such a thing had been thought of'. Until mid-April when school starts she does housework visits friends attends church prayer meetings and sociables and complains of exhaustion. Once school starts Joanna's entries don't change appreciably. She tells nothing about her students or her school day other than such lines as School and nothing else; and 'the day has gone much like all others'. She does however say I'm glad I'm not a dressmaker. I'd rather be a schoolmarm. In addition to teaching doing the usual washing chores sewing dresses for herself and several others and general housecleaning she also writes of going strawberrying or picking apples gathering autumn leaves making a wreath and reading sometimes aloud in the evenings to the boys including Uncle Tom's Cabin. Croquet is a favorite game and she also mentions playing dominoes. Joanna is not in very good health writes frequently of her tiredness and mentions fainting or almost-fainting several times. She's also not particularly cheerful reporting that she spent one of the happiest days of my life walking to the schoolhouse doing something involving music and playing croquet. She deals with two dramatic interludes in typically laconic style noting on 8/11 that 'Oh such a day has past sic. Father went to work but…in an hour…he was back with a broken leg. Both bones below the knee are broken. The Dr. says it is very bad. The neighbors are kind the family pitches in and father is up using crutches in the field by October'. Another major event is reported in typical undramatic Joanna style. She is a master of understatement: 11/18. Snowed all day. Washed. Father and mother came. Uncle Ralph is dead. 11/19. It was a mistake. Uncle is not dead but very low. 11/24. Went downtown. Uncle is dead. He died last Thursday. Funeral is Wednesday. 11/25. Father and Mother went downtown. Uncle's corpse came this morning. Uncle N. and Aunt L. are here. 11/26. The last has been done for uncle. He was buried today. 11/27. Thanksgiving. I work all day and am getting ready to go away on an overnight visit. Again typically Joanna's entry for her 23rd birthday on 9/16 reads: So I'm twenty-three. Have celebrated by teaching all day….The school Committee were in today. Rainy'. This diary presents a poignant picture of the life of a young schoolteacher in Maine. Bangor Northport and other towns are mentioned. It is comforting to know that according to genealogical material available on-line Joanna married William H. Teelingin 1889 when she was 33 and had 2 children. She died in 1911 five years before her son died from a botched surgery when he was thrown from a colt. Overall the 4 x 2 ½ inch book with six days to an open page is VG.; Manuscript; 48mo - over 3" - 4" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF BANGOR MAINE JOANNA S.
