2003rif. 84177Paris: Robert Laffont 2003. Fine. Robert Laffont Paris 2003 13.50 x 21.50 cm broché First edition on ordinary paper. Handsome copy iconography. Signed autograph inscription from Philippe Sollers to Catherine David. Novelist essayist literary critic pianist Catherine David was a pioneer of intellectual journalism at Le Nouvel Observateur. Laurent Joffrin former director of the newspaper offered this beautiful funeral eulogy in the January 4 2023 issue: "". Her passions were eclectic from music to tai chi chuan from philosophy to hybrid disciplines at the boundaries of science and spirituality. Her books bear this mark: a brilliant variation on movement la Beauté du geste an essay on Simone Signoret a spirited biography of Pico della Mirandola the man of all knowledge and several volumes of interviews with Stephen Jay Gould Jean Delumeau Hubert Reeves or Christiane Desroches Noblecourt. Such a path could have composed an irritating character Saint-Germain-des-Prés style floating above ordinary mortals in the limbo of thought and intellectual-chic worldliness. Catherine was quite the opposite a good friend living with simplicity and camaraderie cultivating the art of being a grandmother with laughter and vigilant attention."" Robert Laffont unknown
1856rif. 168702London: John Murray 1856. His descriptions are colourful and graphic First edition of this rich contribution to the literature of the Great Game noted by Wilber as one of the most valuable works on Afghanistan especially for its "description of remote regions such as the Hazara and Ghur areas and the Helmand Valley". The work demonstrates the author's "masterly knowledge of the history geography and languages" of the area Yakushi. After returning wounded from the French expedition to Algeria in 1837 Joseph Philippe Ferrier 1811-1886 accepted employment as an instructor with the Persian army. He travelled to Persia as part of a rather ramshackle delegation which soon collapsed. Ferrier was appointed adjutant-general and "chef d'état major" on an eight-year contract and was sent to Zanjan to train cavalry battalions receiving the Order of the Lion and Sun. He later undertook an overland journey through Persia and Afghanistan to join the group of French officers at Lahore in the service of Ranjit Singh's burgeoning Sikh empire. In 1847 he was attached to the office of the governor-general of Fars finally securing a safe passage to Turkey in 1851. His other works include a History of the Afghans published in 1858.
