O'Hart John
The Irish and Anglo-Irish Landed Gentry When Cromwell Came to Ireland or A Supplement to Irish Pedigrees
Genealogical Publishing Company for Clearfield 2001. New and unread in near PERFECT condition with only a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear to the cover -- like you sometimes find in any new book store. Bright and shiny. Flat uncreased spine. NO chips tears creases or fading. Square and tight. Hinges are perfect. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are bright white fresh crisp clean and unmarked - obviously never read. Bound in the original light green wraps stamped in black. From the publisher: "The name John O'Hart is associated with the magnum opus of Irish genealogy IRISH PEDIGREES. The work at hand THE IRISH AND ANGLO-IRISH LANDED GENTRY was assembled by O'Hart to supplement IRISH PEDIGREES and can be looked upon as the missing third volume. It consists in part of 257 additional genealogies of Anglo-Irish and Anglo-Norman families that settled in Ireland following the English invasion. Notwithstanding the importance of the pedigrees which fill out the first 225 and the final 75 pages of the text the Appendix to the volume may take on ever greater importance. Comprising half of the volume the Appendix consists largely of abstracts of primary sources that were destroyed in the Public Record Office fire of 1922. Among the most important records 'preserved' by O'Hart are lists of Forfeiting Proprietors in Ireland arranged by county and thereunder by barony; Persons Transplanted in Ireland arranged by county; Irishmen who served in the Spanish Netherlands during the exile of Charles II; a number of lists relating to the seventeenth-century land settlements in Ireland including Names of Persons in the Land Grants persons restored to their former estates Grantees and Purchasers of Estates forfeited in Ireland under the Williamite Confiscations; and lists of the Irish Brigades serving in France and America in the 18th and 19th centuries. In all this prodigious work contains more than 22000 references to surnames found in the volume each of which is easily found in the index at the back.". Reprint of the 1884 original. Softcover. New. xviii 774pp. Great Packaging Fast Shipping. Genealogical Publishing Company for Clearfield Paperback

O'Kelly Sebastian
Amedeo. Vita, avventure e amori di Amedeo Guillet. Un eroe italiano in Africa orientale
ill., br. Il barone Amedeo Guillet, nato a Piacenza nel 1909, fu ufficiale di cavalleria del Regio Esercito, campione di equitazione (superò le selezioni per le Olimpiadi di Berlino) e veterano della conquista dell'Etiopia nel 1936. Allo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale si trova nell'Africa orientale italiana, al comando del Gruppo Bande Amhara a cavallo, un reparto formato da eritrei, etiopi e yemeniti che gli sono fedelissimi. Compie azioni decisive: durante la battaglia di Cherù guida una carica travolgente che quasi gli permette di catturare il quartier generale nemico e riesce a ritardarne l'avanzata, dando il tempo agli italiani di riorganizzarsi. Dopo la disfatta conduce una vera e propria guerra personale contro gli inglesi, con imprese tanto eccezionali che i suoi uomini lo soprannominano cummundar-as-sheitan, il "comandante diavolo". Alla fine, tuttavia, deve fuggire e nascondersi finché, travestito da arabo, non riesce ad arrivare nello Yemen, dove diventa consigliere della famiglia reale. Dopo la guerra abbandona la carriera militare e diventa diplomatico nei paesi arabi, per poi ritirarsi nella campagna irlandese fino alla morte, a 101 anni. Sebastian O'Kelly ha raccolto dalla viva voce del protagonista il racconto delle avventure del Lawrence d'Arabia italiano.

Ocampo Victoria
338171 T.E (Lawrence d'Arabia)
br. Nel 1942 Victoria Ocampo annuncia al suo amico Pierre Drieu La Rochelle l'intenzione di porre fine a un'autobiografia del colonnello Lawrence: «In questo momento sono sposata con i "Sette pilastri della saggezza" e con le sue "Lettere", che sto facendo tradurre. Ho già scritto un centinaio di pagine su quest'uomo che mi affascina. Vorrei farlo conoscere ai miei compatrioti e ci riuscirò! T.E.L. mi interessa profondamente perché arriva a conclusioni simili alle mie con un temperamento e per dei percorsi opposti ai miei. Everithing that is, is holy, tutte le cose che esistono sono sacre, come pensava Blake». Pubblicato in patria in quello stesso anno e poi in Inghilterra e in Francia nel 1947, 338171 T.E appare ora per la prima volta in traduzione italiana e per quanto nel mezzo secolo abbondante che ci separa da quella prima uscita la bibliografia intorno a Lawrence sia cresciuta a dismisura, insieme con la revisione storica sulla sua figura e sulla «rivolta araba», l'analisi dell'Ocampo mantiene una freschezza, frutto di un intuito squisitamente femminile, e una profondità che ne fanno un piccolo classico. «Forse il suo torto fu di crogiolarsi nel rifiuto. Ma possiamo chiamare torto ciò che senza dubbio fu il suo dharma? Come quella di Arjuna sul campo di battaglia, la sua anima era sgomenta. Niente poteva dissipare l'ansia che la paralizzava. Come Arjuna, Lawrence non desiderava più né vittoria, né regalità, né voluttà. Era un abitante delle grandi pianure. Ed è in questa regione, popolata di assenze, che ha avuto luogo il nostro incontro».
