He tries—and fails—to flee. Left alone with his increasingly deranged parent he dreams of safety of joining the other children in the town below of escape. When at last a stranger knocks at his door the boy senses that his days of isolation might be over. But by what authority does this man keep the meticulous records he carries What is the purpose behind his questions Is he friend Enemy Or something else altogether Filled with beauty terror and strangeness This Census-Taker is a poignant and riveting exploration of memory and identity.Praise for This Census-Taker“China Miéville is a magician . . . who can both blow your mind with ideas as big as the universe and break your heart with language so precise and polished it’s like he’s writing with diamonds.â€â€”NPR “The book haunts the reader; what actually happened seems always just out of reach glimpsed in shadow as it rounds a corner ahead of our vision.â€â€”Los Angeles Review of Books “Mieville’s been compared to Karen Russell and George Saunders and rightfully so.â€â€”The Huffington Post “Marvellous.â€â€”The Guardian “Lingers in the mind like an unsettling dream.â€â€”Financial Times “A thought-provoking fairy tale for adults . . . This Census-Taker resembles the narrative style quirkiness and plotting found in the works of Karen Russell Aimee Bender or Steven Millhauser.â€â€”Booklist “Brief and dreamlike . . . a deceptively simple story whose plot could be taken as a symbolic representation of an aspect of humanity as big as an entire society and as small as a single soul.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews</p> Del Rey hardcover‎

‎LITERAE P. JO. CHRYSOSTOMI GALL OLYSSIPONAE DATAE. And EXEMPLUM LITERARUM R.P. TERENTII AS R. PATREM JACOBUM KOLLERUM Contemporary Transcripts of two Letters of Two Jesuit Missions in China India and Japan.‎

‎Lisbon and Hangzhou China: Manuscripts ca.1623 and 1621. Very Rare A Similar Manuscript Exists in Brussels. We know of no others. The Latin text of both letters is written in a neat uniform cursive hand in brown. Folio leaves 33 x 20.5 cm The transcripts bound in 18th Century stiff blue wrappers the blank paste-downs and endpapers are late 18th century most likely the third quarter between 1745/1753 and 1776 since they contain a clear "lion/vryheit/pro patria" watermark with a crowned GR countermark which resembles Heawood 3148 3149 and 3154. The paper used for the manuscript contains a faint double-headed eagle watermark and it has been reinforced in the gutters. A very pleasing survival very well preserved edges slightly mellowed the wrappers show some signs of wear. VERY RARE MANUSCRIPT TRANSCRIPTS. Chrysostomus Johann Gall 1586-1643 was a German Jesuit and scholar. He left Ingolstadt Germany to teach astronomy mathematics and navigation in Lisbon fro 1620to 1627 before leaving to work in the Jesuit missions in India. The Colégio de Santo Antŕo benefitted from the arrival of many foreign mathematicians and other scholars as Lisbon serves as a gateway for all missionaries departing for Asia. The original letter by Gall was written in Lisbon September 1623 and concerns a newspaper style description of various events including details of the perseution of Christians in Japan particularly the execution of large numbers of the Christian community in Nagasaki in 1622.<br> The second letter in the present work is especially interesting as the original was written by Johannes Terentius also known as Johannes Schreck an Deng Yuhan Hanpo 1576-1630. Terentius was a prominent Jesuit scholar specialized in natural science and mathematics. Before joining the Jesuits as a novice1611 he already enjoyed a grea reputation in Germany as a scholar. In 1621 Terentius left for China to join the Jesuit mission. The original letter by Terentius was written in Hangzhou China on 30 August 1621 to the rector of teh Jesuit College in Munich Jakob Keller 1568-1631. He discusses his journey to China which he started in 1618 his intentions to participate in the planned calendar reform in China and his impressions of the city of Hangzhou which he reached in 1621 Terentius wrote several works on european medicine mathematics and technology in Chinese and together with Johann Adam Schall von Bell and G. Roho introduced European tigonometry and European astronomical instruments to China. In 1629 he began to reform the calendar which J.A. Schall von Bell ocmpleted after Terentius' early death a year later.<br><br>Backer & Sommervogel VII col. 1929-F<br> Manuscripts unknown‎
