SISMO
New York New York U.S.A.: Walker & Co 1993. First edition so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. "Biederman's first novel since Post No Bonds 1988 does a lovely job of packaging the familiar tale of the opportunistic villain hotel manager Brian Fowler indicted in Texas for manslaughter when a tenant is fatally scalded in the shower trying to fake his death in an earthquake in Mexico City where he's been carrying on business as usual for the company only too eager to give him the heave-ho to throw off his nemesis William Bermudez NYPD who gets set on Fowler's trail after he saves the victim's granddaughter movie star Connie Oland from a Manhattan crazy. As dogged Bermudez sparked by the memory of Connie's fine flesh closes in on him fast-moving Fowler hatches scheme after inventive scheme to come up with the money and documents he needs to vanish once and for all. You've known how all this will turn out since Chapter 3 of course; but Biederman spices her battle of wits with dozens of irresistible grace notes--from Fowler's ludicrous attempt to masquerade as a free-lance journalist to his unexpected talent for murder." -- Kirkus Review . First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Illus. by Dias Paula. Book. Walker & Co

BIET Antoine
Voyage de la France equinoxiale en l'isle de Cayenne, entrepris par les François en l'année MDCLII
- Chez François Clouzier, à Paris 1664, in-4 (17x24cm), (24) 432pp., relié. - BIET Antoine Voyage de la France equinoxiale en l'isle de Cayenne, entrepris par les François en l'année MDCLII Chez François Clouzier, Paris 1664, in-4 (17 x 24 cm), (24) 432 pp.,contemporary calf First edition. Contemporary brown calf, spine in six compartments with blind-ruled compartments and gilt fleurons, remains of a manuscript title label. All edges speckled red, binding skillfully restored. Tear to lower margin of title skillfully restored, a few tiny stains. The work is divided into three parts: the first relates the establishment of the colony and its journey to Cayenne, the second is a collection of observations on the 15 months spent there by the author and the last is concerned with the country's climate, the fertility of the soil, and the customs and dress of the indigenous peoples. A last part is made up of a Franco-Amerindian dictionary, which is the very first appearance of a lexicon of the Galibi language. Some chapters also refer to Guadeloupe, Barbados and Martinique. Chaplain to the 700 colonists of the expedition sent to Guyana on the 18th May 1652, Antoine Biet gives a precise account of the second attempt at colonization. The attempt failed, and the hundred surviving colonists were forced to flee Cayenne for Surinam in January 1654 (and from there to Barbados), having suffered tropical illness and fierce resistance from the Galibi Indians. According to Boucher de La Richarderie, "no account other than Biet's sheds so much light on the natives of Guyana; he describes them in all their primitive simplicity." (Bibliothèque universelle des voyages, 1808). Manuscript ex-libris on front endpaper: "Ce livre appartient à Mr. Adam de Saron [This book belongs to Mr Adam de Saron]." [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Édition originale. Reliure de l'époque en plein veau brun. Dos à cinq nerfs orné de caissons et fleurons dorés, reste d'une étiquette de titre manuscrite. Toutes tranches mouchetées rouges. La reliure a été habilement restaurée. Déchirure marginale restaurée en marge basse de la page de titre. Quelques infimes salissures. L'ouvrage se divise en trois parties : la première relate l'établissement de la colonie et de son voyage jusqu'à Cayenne, la seconde est une suite d'observations sur les quinze mois passés par l'auteur là-bas et la dernière traite du tempérament du pays, de la fertilité de la terre, des us et coutumes des autochtones. Une dernière partie est constituée d'un dictionnaire franco-amérindien, c'est la toute première fois qu'un lexique galibi paraît. Certains chapitres évoquent également la Guadeloupe, la Barbade et la Martinique. Aumônier des 700 colons de l'expédition envoyée en Guyane le 18 mai 1652, Antoine Biet relate avec précision la deuxième tentative de colonisation. Cette expérience fut un échec, la centaine de colons qui y survécut fut contrainte de fuir Cayenne vers le Surinam en janvier 1654 puis vers la Barbade, après avoir souffert des maladies tropicales et de la farouche résistance des Indiens galibis. D'après Boucher de La Richarderie, « aucune relation ne donne autant de lumières que celle de Biet sur les naturels de la Guyane ; il les a dépeints dans toute leur simplicité primitive. Le vocabulaire de leur langue est fait avec soin » (Bibliothèque universelle des voyages, 1808). Ex-dono manuscrit sur la première page de garde : « Ce livre appartient à Mr. Adam de Saron. »

Exemplaire composé de 27 eaux-fortes hors-texte (sur 29, manquent le fonctionnaire et le marchand de poissons) en plus des 2 deux gravures qui ornent les plats.Georges Bigot (1860-1927) arrive au Japon en 1882 et y reste 17 ans, pendant lesquels il vit de l'intérieur l'occidentalisation rapide de la société de l'ère Meiji. Il publie, à compte d'auteur, plusieurs albums de caricatures et numéros de périodiques satiriques. Le gouvernement japonais n’appréciant guère son travail qui n’idéalise pas le Japon, l’oblige à quitter le pays en 1899 et interdit la vente de ses publications dès l’année suivante. Ce n'est que bien plus tard que ses œuvres lui valent le titre de "caricaturiste de l'ère Meiji" et sont reproduites dans les livres scolaires japonais.

Bilgen-Reinart, Ustun
Porcelain Moon And Pomegranates: A Woman's Trek Through Turkey
For millennia, the land now called Turkey has been at the crossroads of history. A bridge between Europe and Asia, between West and East, between Christianity and Islam, the peninsula also known as Anatolia, the place where the sun rises, is one of the oldest continually inhabited regions on the planet. In this unique blend of memoir and travel literature, Ustun Bilgen-Reinart explores the people, politics, and passions of her native country, whisking the reader on a journey through time, memory, and space. She searches deep into the roots of her own ancestry and uncovers a family secret, breaks taboos in a nation that still takes tradition very seriously, and navigates through dangerous territory that sees her investigating brothels in Ankara, probing honour murders in Sanliurfa, encountering Kurds in the remote southeast, and witnessing the rape of the earth by a gold mining company in Bergama. 240. illus bibliography Book
