‎ANGLO-ZULU WAR - ELLIOT, Fitzwilliam‎

‎Important collection of letters and documents concerning his service in the Anglo-Zulu war.‎

‎Onboard ship and in southern Africa: 1879. I should not like to say how many kraals we burnt … Such warfare is not very glorious This substantial archive of largely unpublished correspondence - around 21000 words written in the field - offers a vivid and unusually frank primary source for the Zulu War only partially treated in existing historiography. Captain Fitzwilliam Elliot youngest son of the 3rd Earl of Minto and a perceptive officer on special service writes with sharp intelligence admiration for the Zulu and unguarded criticism of British command. Addressed to his mother the well-read and formidable Nina Countess of Minto the letters track his movements from the aftermath of Isandlwana to the campaign's close often with acute reflections on strategy discipline and morale. Elliot sailed shortly after the disasters of early 1879 joining General Crealock's coastal column. He denounces the confused state of operations deplores the "sensational" reporting of the Prince Imperial's death and is consistently scathing of Crealock as "an old woman" and Chelmsford for the "feebleness" of his reports. His march from Durban to Fort Chelmsford and northwards is marked by slow progress foul weather and disorganization. He gives sharp portraits of officers and units praising the veteran 57th and dismissing the 88th as "a real rowdy lot of Irishmen … but good to fight friend or foe". He describes kraal raids with discomfort acknowledging the logic of destroying Zulu resources while feeling "rather a scoundrel" at the spectacle of looted food and driven captives. Yet his admiration for the Zulu is striking: "they are always so thoroughly manly … never appearing angry nor even humiliated at the loss of homes cattle women every thing indeed which they possess". He reports the VC ceremony for Rorke's Drift doubting the award to Chard and remarks acidly that Colonel Pearson lionized at home after the siege of Eshowe is regarded in the field as "one of the greatest muffs this war has produced". His final letters follow the victory at Ulundi where the "streams are now full of dead Zulus" a scene he describes with evident distress and sanitary alarm. On 12 August he writes from Ulundi to wish his family good sport on the Glorious Twelfth and the next day notes departure "for a dart after Cetewayo better game than grouse". The archive is accompanied by cartes-de-visite of Elliot his parents and John Dunn; Elliot's commission as captain; and his 1867 record of services. 14 autograph letters signed 11 retaining envelopes pale blue paper generally 200 x 125 mm written largely in pencil but also in ink; Record of Services printed on pale blue paper with envelope; commission dated 29 October 1878; 5 carte de visite 2 of the young Elliot in uniform one each of his parents one of John Robert Dunn. Some tears to envelopes otherwise well preserved. John Buchan Lord Minto: A Memoir 1924. unknown‎

‎EMMA LAZARUS, POET, JEWISH ACTIVIST, PIONEER ZIONIST‎

‎Original paper wrappers. 8vo. 12 pages. 23 cm. Printed in brown ink on cream paper, with illustrated wraps. Contains the lecture delivered by Charles Angoff to commemorate the poem “The New Colossus” at the base of the Statue of Liberty in 1978, which affords extensive documentation of the literary biography and political activism of Emma Lazarus, one of the first renowned Jewish writers in American literary history. Includes facsimile copy of the manuscript of “New Colossus” as well portrait of Emma Lazarus; with frontispiece dedication to Charles Angoff and his portrait as well, who “did not live to see this publication in print. ” Emma Lazarus (1849–1887) , “U. S. Poet, essayist, and activist. Lazarus was born in New York on July 22, 1849, to Moses Lazarus, a wealthy industrialist of Sephardi heritage, and his wife Esther Nathan Lazarus of Ashkenazi background. Both sides of her family had been in America since the Revolution. Lazarus, who was educated at home by private tutors, was originally attracted to classical and romantic art and literature. During the course of her career, she struck up tutelary relationships with important male writers, especially Ralph Waldo Emerson, and including Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Henry James. Her early works included Poems and Translations: Written Between the Ages of Fourteen and Sixteen, published privately by her father in 1867, a novel Alide: An Episode of Goethe's Life (1874) , and a historical tragedy, The Spagnoletto (1876) , as well as a translation of poems by Heinrich Heine, accompanied by a biographical study. By the time she wrote her best-known poem, ‘The New Colossus’ (1883) , a hymn to America, the ‘Mother of Exiles, ’ she had repudiated the glorification of male conquering power, aestheticism, and empty ceremony and asserted instead the power of womanhood, the comfort of motherhood, and the Hebraic prophetic values of compassion and consolation. Lazarus began her return to Jewish tradition in the late 1870s, studying Hebrew and reading Graetz's History of the Jews and George Eliot's novel Daniel Deronda, with its plea for a Jewish national revival. Lazarus began to publish translations of the medieval Spanish-Jewish poets, Judah Halevi , Solomon ibn Gabirol , and others. The Russian pogroms of 1881 and the May Laws of 1882 fired both her social consciousness and her poetic imagination, prompting a series of essays in American journals, especially in Century Magazine (May 1882) , where she replied to an antisemitic article by a Russian journalist, Madame Z. Ragozin. ‘The Dance Unto Death, ’ a verse tragedy about the burning of the Jews of Nordhausen during the Black Death appeared in Songs of a Semite (1882) , dedicated to George Eliot, ‘the illustrious writer who did most among the artists of our day towards elevating and ennobling the spirit of Jewish Nationality. ’ Lazarus's series of 14 essays, ironically entitled ‘Epistle to the Hebrews, ’ written from November 1882 to February 1883, were intended to ‘bring before the Jewish public… facts and critical observations… to arouse a more logical and intelligent estimate of the duties of the hour. ’ Lazarus also involved herself in the practical work of helping new immigrants adjust to America, founding the Hebrew Technical Institute for Vocational Training. In 1883 she sailed to London, armed with letters of introduction from Henry James to well-placed people in England, Jews and non-Jews, who might help her in her effort towards the establishment of a Jewish national home-land. A decade before Theodore Herzl launched the Zionist movement, Lazarus argued in poetry and prose for Palestine as a safe haven for oppressed Jews everywhere. Lazarus, who never married, died of cancer at the age of 38. After her death, her sister, Josephine Lazarus, prohibited the inclusion of ‘anything Jewish’ in the collected edition of her works that appeared in 1889. ‘The New Colossus, ’ with its famous image of ‘huddled masses yearning to breathe free, ’ was engraved on a memorial plaque and affixed to the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in 1903.” (EJ 2007) Publications of the Jewish Historical Society of New York; number 3.

‎'My kind of theatre concerns itself with kings and queens, princesses sleeping or otherwise in ivory towers, or in enchanted castles with satins, furs and cloths of gold...There must be huge splashes of colour, wild music, beautiful people, monstrous Calibans; magic, imagination, illusion, fairies, oceans of blood and wine, and always happy endings...'. So wrote Angus McBean of the theatre for which he was the court photographer for nearly thirty years, the London stage from the 1930s to the 1960s that encompassed legendary productions of Shakespeare, Congreve, Shaw,Wilde and Coward, the operas of Benjamin Britten, and the beginnings of the Royal Ballet and the Royal National Theatre. Blending wit, drama and fantasy with the consummate skill of a master practitioner, McBean was undoubtedly one of the greats of theatrical, creative and commercial photography. The best of his theatrical portraits, in which he immortalized the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Laurence Olivier and Alec Guinness, are superbly reproduced here in this sumptuous volume, which will be snapped up by anyone with an interest in British theatre, photography and surrealism.‎

‎La tonaca strappata ...e in tanti allora combatterono il nazismo e il suo male‎

‎br. Langhe piemontesi - ultimi mesi di guerra, i più terribili. La storia della Resistenza italiana viene presentata in questo romanzo in un clima da leggenda: personaggi che non si dimenticano e avvenimenti straordinari si susseguono senza tregua nel racconto. Si delinea, così, la narrazione d'una Resistenza corale alla quale partecipano militari e operai, medici e professori, preti e carabinieri fino a qualche piccolo gaglioffo appena uscito di prigione e poi ragazzi e ragazze. La narrazione diventa allora ricerca della memoria. Al lettore si mostreranno, drammaticamente legate, la violenza degli avvenimenti, lo scontro delle passioni e la pietà umanissima di un periodo breve ma fondante della nostra storia.‎

‎Hangend over een grote tafel en bevangen door een grimmige eenzaamheid bestudeert een vrouw de Goldbergvariaties van Johann Sebastian Bach. Ze doet dat met de rug naar de toekomst, de blik gericht op wat geweest is. Soms staat ze op om plaats te nemen aan de vleugel en een variatie te gaan spelen. Maar de pianostudie lijkt voor de vrouw allereerst een verdovend middel. Langzaam maar zeker, variatie voor variatie, ontvouwt zich het landschap van haar verleden zoals zij dat voor zich ziet. Dat levert een allerminst chronologisch beeld op. Op de voorgrond treedt echter voortdurend een gezin: een vrouw (die zij zelf is), een man, een dochter en een zoon ? in verschillende levensstadia. Momenten van geluk en pijn, van vrolijkheid en razernij, van onbekommerdheid en zorg wisselen elkaar in snel tempo af. Zo is het leven. Maar onder al dat onvermijdelijke existeren resoneert van meet af aan iets; aanvankelijk ternauwernood waarneembaar maar gaandeweg dringt een verontrustende ondertoon zich in toenemende mate aan ons op. Een onstuitbare melodie als een aanzwellend noodlot dat alles overstemt en essentieel is. De toekomst heeft zich in de verste hoek van de kamer teruggetrokken. Buiten gaat het leven zijn onhoudbare gang. In een kleine wereld, los van ruimte en tijd, speelt de moeder een lied voor haar kind. Voor het eerst, voor het laatst.‎
