NY NY: Henry Holt 2007. First edition so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Very light soiling at page edges else near fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. An EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE for Best Novel. "In the debut crime novel from the Booker-winning author a Dublin pathologist follows the corpse of a mysterious woman into the heart of a conspiracy among the city's high Catholic society It's not the dead that seem strange to Quirke. It's the living. One night after a few drinks at an office party Quirke shuffles down into the morgue where he works and finds his brother-in-law Malachy altering a file he has no business even reading. Odd enough in itself to find Malachy there but the next morning when the haze has lifted it looks an awful lot like his brother-in-law the esteemed doctor was in fact tampering with a corpse--and concealing the cause of death. It turns out the body belonged to a young woman named Christine Falls. And as Quirke reluctantly presses on toward the true facts behind her death he comes up against some insidious--and very well-guarded--secrets of Dublin's high Catholic society among them members of his own family. Set in Dublin and Boston in the 1950s the first novel in the Quirke series brings all the vividness and psychological insight of Booker Prize winner John Banville's fiction to a thrilling atmospheric crime story." -- Publisher.

But to Parisian private investigator Aimée Leduc these streets hold darker secrets. When an old Russian man named Yuri hires Aimée to protect a priceless painting that just might be a Modigliani she learns how deadly art theft can be. Yuri is found tortured to death in his atelier and the painting is missing. Every time Aimée thinks she's found a new witness the body count rises. What exactly is so special about this painting that so many people are willing to kill--and die--for it . First Edition. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine. Advance Uncorrected Proof. Soho Crime Paperback

BLAEU Johannes (Alkmaar 1596 circa - Amsterdam 1663)
Avenio vulgo Avignon
Opera tratta dalla rara prima edizione del Theatrum Civitatum et Admirandorum Italiae ad aevi veteris & praesentis temporis faciem expressum à Ioanne Blaeu G. F., stampata ad Amsterdam nel 1663. Si tratta del primo, monumentale, libro interamente dedicato alla cartografia urbana della sola penisola, preceduto dal “tascabile” Italia Hodierna di Jodocus Hondius del 1627 e realizzato in probabile concorrenza con Johannes Janssonius che, nel 1657, aveva pubblicato il Theatrum praecipuarum urbium, contenente un volume dedicato all’Italia. Johannes Blaeu, durante la sua lunga attività editoriale pubblica tre volumi sulle città italiane. Nel 1663 i primi tre, suddivisi in Stato della Chiesa, Roma e Regno di Napoli e Sicilia. Alla sua morte i suoi eredi danno alla luce altri due volumi datati 1682 incentrati sulle città del Piemonte e della Savoia, poi ristampati da altri editori nel 1693 e 1697. Il francese Pierre Mortier pubblica una ristampa nel 1704/5, intitolata Nouveau Theatre de l’Italie. L’opera è in quattro volumi e comprende le lastre del Blaeu, ritoccate e modificate in piccola parte, integrate dall’aggiunta di numerose nuove mappe di proprio disegno, raffiguranti le città della parte settentrionale della penisola, racchiuse nel primo volume dell’opera. L’atlante del Mortier venne pubblicato con testo latino, francese ed olandese. Il grande successo dell’opera diede origine ad un’ulteriore ristampa, praticamente identica, curata da Alberts ed edita nel 1724/5. Esemplare con testo descrittivo la verso, della prima edizione del 1663. Bibliografia Koeman, Atlas Neerlandici, pp. 332/338; Cremonini pp. 49-52, 39. Map taken form the rare first edition of Theatrum Civitatum et Admirandorum Italiae ad aevi veteris & praesentis temporis faciem expressum à Ioanne Blaeu G. F., printed by Johannes Blaeu, Amsterdam, 1663. This is the first monumental town book entirely covering Italy, preceded by the "pocket-size" Italia Hodierna by Jodocus Hondius jr. (1627) and realized in likely competition with Johannes Janssonius who, in 1657, published the Theatrum praecipuarum urbium, containing a volume dedicated to Italy. Johannes Blaeu, during his long editorial activity published three volumes on Italian cities. In 1663 the first three, divided into the State of the Church, Rome and the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily. At his death his heirs gave birth to two more volumes dated 1682 focused on the cities of Piedmont and Savoy, then reprinted by other publishers in 1693 and 1697. Pierre Mortier publishes a reprint in 1704/5, entitled Nouveau Theatre de l'Italie. The work is in four volumes and includes the plates of Blaeu, retouched and modified in small part, supplemented by the addition of several new maps of his own design, depicting the cities of the northern part of the peninsula, enclosed in the first volume of the work. Mortier's atlas was published with Latin, French and Dutch texts. The great success of the work gave rise to a further reprint, virtually identical, edited by R. Alberts and published in 1724/5. Example of the first edition, showing descriptive text on the back of the map. Literature Koeman, Atlas Neerlandici, pp. 332/338; Cremonini pp. 49-52, 39.

BLAEU Johannes (Alkmaar 1596 circa - Amsterdam 1663)
Nova Zemla
La mappa mostra la Nowaja Semlja (Nova Zembla) nell'Oceano Artico, la penisola Jamal e l'Obbussen.La Novaya Zemlya, nota anche come Nova Zembla, è un arcipelago situato nell'Oceano Artico nel nord della Russia e nell'estremo nord-est dell'Europa, il punto più orientale d'Europa che si trova a Capo Flissingsky, sull'isola settentrionale. A ovest di Novaya Zemlya si trova il Mare di Barents e a est il Mare di Kara. Gli olandesi sono stati i più persistenti ricercatori del cosiddetto "passaggio a nord-est", sia a nord della Novaya Zemlya (la cui costa occidentale è mostrata in dettaglio) sia attraverso quello che a sud hanno chiamato Stretto di Nassau.I russi conoscevano la Novaya Zemlya fin dall'XI secolo, quando i cacciatori di Novgorod visitarono la zona. Per gli europei occidentali, la ricerca della rotta del Mare del Nord nel XVI secolo ha portato alla sua esplorazione. La prima visita di un europeo occidentale fu di Hugh Willoughby nel 1553. L'esploratore olandese Willem Barentsz raggiunse la costa occidentale della Novaya Zemlya nel 1594 e, in una successiva spedizione del 1596, arrotondò il capo settentrionale e svernò sulla costa nord-orientale. Barentsz morì durante la spedizione e potrebbe essere stato sepolto sull'isola di Severny. Durante un successivo viaggio di Fyodor Litke nel 1821? 1824, la costa occidentale fu mappata. Sul grande mappamondo Gerhards Mercator del 1597, è già chiamato Nova Zemla. Henry Hudson era un altro esploratore che passò attraverso Novaya Zemlya mentre cercava il Passaggio a Nord-Est.L'opera appare per la prima volta nell "Atlas Major" di Johannes Blaeu dle 1662. Questo esemplare non ha testo al verso ed è probabilmente pubblicato dai figli di Johannes, dopo la sua morte.Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva, in buono stato di conservazione. Map shows the russian Nowaja Semlja (Nova Zembla) in the Arctic ocean, the peninsula Jamal and the Obbussen, with two decorative cartouches.Novaya Zemlya also known as Nova Zembla is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean in northern Russia and the extreme northeast of Europe, the easternmost point of Europe lying at Cape Flissingsky on the Northern island. West of Novaya Zemlya is the Barents Sea, and to the east is the Kara Sea. The Dutch were the most persistent searchers after the north-east Passage, whether to the north of Novaya Zemlya (whose west coast is shown in detail) or through what they called Nassau Straits to its south.The Russians knew of Novaya Zemlya from the 11th century, when hunters from Novgorod visited the area. For Western Europeans, the search for the Northern Sea Route in the 16th century led to its exploration. The first visit from a Western European was by Hugh Willoughby in 1553. Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz reached the west coast of Novaya Zemlya in 1594, and in a subsequent expedition of 1596, he rounded the northern cape and wintered on the northeastern coast. Barentsz died during the expedition, and may have been buried on Severny Island. During a later voyage by Fyodor Litke in 1821?1824, the western coast was mapped. On Gerhards Mercator large world map from 1597 , it is alredy named as Nova Zemla. Henry Hudson was another explorer who passed through Novaya Zemlya while searching for the Northeast Passage.The work appears for the first time in Johannes Blaeu's "Atlas Major", 1662. This exemple is without text on verso, and is probably published by Johannes's sons after his death.Copper engraving, iwith fine original colouring, very good condition. cfr. A. Berkhemer, 'De Spaanse Atlas Mayor van Blaeu: nieuwe gegevens', Caert-Thresoor 16 (1997) 3, pp.71-76, H. De la Fontaine Verwey, The 'Spanish Blaeu,' Quaerendo 11 (1981), pp.83-94.

BLAEU Johannes (Alkmaar 1596 circa - Amsterdam 1663)
Pars Borealior Iutiae Septentrionalis... / Pars Australior Iutiae Septentrionalis...
Carta in due fogli della Danimarca di Johannes Blaeu. La carta viene per la prima volta pubblicata nell’Atlas Major del 1662. Il presente esemplare è tratto dall’edizione con testo latino. Alla morte di Willem J. Blaeu, nell’ottobre del 1638, la tipografia venne rilevata dai figli Johannes o Joan (1596-1673) e Cornelis (circa 1610-1642) che subentrarono negli affari del padre. Nello stesso anno Joan Blaeu assunse anche la posizione di suo padre come cartografo ufficiale del V.O.C. Il titolo poneva la casa editrice Blaeu al centro della creazione di mappe ad Amsterdam, dando loro un potere e un’influenza senza precedenti. Alla morte di Cornelis, nel 1642, la casa editrice rimase esclusivamente nelle mani di Joan Blaeu, che nel 1648 fu il primo a pubblicare una mappa che raffigurava la teoria copernicana della Terra che ruota attorno al Sole, un concetto eretico secondo la Chiesa cattolica. Nel 1662 Blaeu completò il suo opus magnum: l’Atlas maior sive cosmographia Blaviana. Magnifca prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva, finemente colorata d’epoca, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Two-sheet map of Denmark by Johannes Blaeu. The map is first published in the Atlas Major of 1662. The present specimen is taken from the edition with Latin text. At the death of Willem J. Blaeu, in October 1638, the printing house was taken over by his sons Johannes or Joan (1596-1673) and Cornelis (about 1610-1642) who took over the business of their father. In the same year Joan Blaeu also took over his father's position as official cartographer of the V.O.C. The title placed Blaeu's publishing house at the center of map-making in Amsterdam, giving them unprecedented power and influence. Upon Cornelis' death in 1642, the publishing house remained solely in the hands of Joan Blaeu, who in 1648 was the first to publish a map depicting the Copernican theory of the Earth revolving around the Sun, a heretical concept according to the Catholic Church. In 1662 Blaeu completed his magnum opus: the Atlas maior sive cosmographia Blaviana. A fine example, printed on contemporary paper, finely original colouring, in good condition.
