Charles Amiel & Anne Lima
L'inquisition de Goa - La relation de Charles Dellon (1687)
Chandeigne, 2003, collection Magellane dirigée par Michel Chandeigne & Anne Lima, in/8 broché avec une jaquette en couleurs, 462 pages. Illustrations en noir, notes, cartes. Étude, édition & notes de Charles Amiel & Anne Lima. Dès 1687, un petit livre élégant et accablant à la fois, la Relation de l'Inquisition de Goa, étonne l'Europe. Son auteur, Charles Dellon, jeune médecin français originaire d'Agde, y conte par le menu les quatre années de captivité qu'il a passées en Inde, au Brésil et à Lisbonne aux mains de l'Inquisition portugaise. Traduit aussitôt en anglais, en allemand et en néerlandais, l'ouvrage connaît un succès durable et va jouer un rôle capital dans le combat contre l'intolérance à l'époque des Lumière. Voltaire s'en inspirera dans Candide ; Bayle, Limborch, Lesage, Montesquieu, le marquis d'Argens, d'Alembert, l'abbé Morellet, Beccaria, Buchanan, sans oublier la presse, l'ont remarqué, apprécié, utilisé. Rares furent les esprits libres qui ne firent pas écho à ce témoignage au parfum de roman d'aventure doublé d'un redoutable pamphlet politique et religieux. Pour donner une réelle perspective à cette réédition commentée et illustrée, une étude liminaire, qui met au jour plus d'une source inconnue ou restée inédite, s'est souciée d'éclairer le lecteur sur l'histoire de l'Inquisition de Goa, le parcours dans le siècle d'un auteur méconnu, l'histoire compliquée d'un texte qui servit divers enjeux en France et à l'étranger, la véracité des faits rapportés, la fortune enfin d'une œuvre qui demeure une impeccable analyse des tares et des excès de l'institution inquisitoriale.

Quarto 4to 11" tall Vol I lx 434pp 26pp publishers' advertisements 8 engravings including frontipiece 15 vignettes & 68 woodcuts in text 1 double-page copper engraved map. Dark brown cloth decorated in blind with gilt titling on spine and gilt eagle on front cover. Jan09. The Wilkes expedition was the first United States scientific expedition by sea working mainly in the Pacific Ocean. Wilkes sailed along the Antarctic continent and throughout the islands of the South Pacific visited the Hawaiian Islands in 1840 and explored the Northwest Coast of America in 1841. The expedition was made up of a number of notable American scientists and their botanical natural history and geological findings are included. Charles Wilkes 1798-1877 "entered the United States Navy as a midshipman in 1818 and became a lieutenant in 1826. In 1830 he was placed in charge of the division of instruments and charts and in 1838 was appointed to command an exploring and surveying expedition in the Southern Seas authorized by Congress in 1836. The expedition including naturalists botanists a mineralogist taxidermists a philologist among others was carried by the sloops-of-war 'Vincennes' and 'Peacock' the brig 'Porpoise' the storeship 'Relief' and two tenders. Leaving Hampton Roads on the 18th of August 1838 it stopped at Madeira and Rio de Janeiro; visited Tierra del Fuego Chile Peru the Paumotu group of the Low Archipelago the Samoan islands and New South Wales; from Sydney sailed into the Antarctic Ocean in December 1839 and reported the discovery of an Antarctic continent west of the Balleny islands; visited the Fiji and the Hawaiian islands in 1840 explored the west coast of the United States including the Columbia river San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento river in 1841 and returned by way of the Philippine islands the Sulu archipelago Borneo Singapore Polynesia and the Cape of Good Hope reaching New York on the 10th of June 1842. He was court-martialed on his return and acquitted on all charges except that of illegally punishing men in his squadron. For a short time he was attached to the Coast Survey but from 1844 to 1861 he was chiefly engaged in preparing the report of the expedition Encyclopedia Britannica Eleventh Edition. Wilkes's Narrative "would also have an impact on some of America's most important and influential writers. James Fenimore Cooper an old family friend of the Wilkes's would integrate information from the Narrative into at least two of his sea novels. Herman Melville would purchase his own copy of Wilkes's book and scholars have found traces of the U.S. Exploring Expedition throughout his masterpiece Moby-Dick. Melville appears to have been most taken with the book's illustrations. For example his description of Ishmael's Polynesian companion Queequeg has been attributed to an engraving of a tattooed Maori chief in Volume 2. In an age before the widespread use of photography the pages of the Narrative provided a visual link with the exotic world of the South Pacific as well as Antarctica and the Pacific Northwest that no other American book could match" Nathaniel Philbrick "The Scientific Legacy of the U.S. Exploring Expedition" part of The United States Exploring Exhibition 1830-1842 an online exhibition by Smithsonian Institution Libraries Washington D.C.: 2004.

SYNOPSIS: Holland - a land full of surprises strange traditions free-spirited people and a rich history. Charlotte Dematons known for her well-loved picture book The Yellow Balloon grew up in France but moved to the Netherlands to study art as so many have before her. With the eye of an outsider but a warm heart for the country that became her new home Charlotte Dematons paints with a keen eye for the detail for everything that makes The Netherlands so Dutch. It's easy to see how New York was first New Amsterdam when delving into modern-day Holland. The idiosyncrasies that make Holland so unique are revealed: from pensionada in unisex rain jackets on their bikes to a grandmother with her walker skating on the ice between the scenes of Avercamp Bruegel and Bosch and of course the multicultural Dutch society revealed and celebrated with wit and warmth. 1000 Things About Holland explains all the details of every amazing picture making this book both an I Spy book and an armchair travel guide for anyone already fond of this small country of tulips windmills and so much more.
