1934réf. 69989Shanghai China 1934. Two leaves three pages on Joyce's stationery 9 3/4 x 6 1/2 in. approx. 375 words and an addressed envelope rubber stamped in the upper right corner "State Steamship Co. Shanghai Nov. 10 1934. Received." Accompanied by a printed Christmas card bound with green ribbon and a printed image of a green flag and ribbon for C.P.S. Wenhsing on the cover a printed sentiment on the verso and a black & white snapshot 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 in. of a ship tipped in. Five other black & white snapshots 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 in. or slightly smaller are laid in loose each captioned on the verso in Joyce's hand. Joyce writes from the Preventive Cruiser "Wen Hsing" although the return address on the envelope is for the Chinese Maritime Customs Revenue Dept. Customs House Shanghai. The letter to Capt. Dyer of the S.S. General Sherman States Steam Ship Co. Hamilton House Shanghai encloses the Christmas card and several photos Joyce presumes will interest him: "I am sorry I haven't more or better ones but my camera is too big to take around in the motor boat." One image is of the Preventive Cruiser Wen Hsing similar to the tipped in image in the card; two are of traditional Chinese Junks one captioned in some detail as a 5 masted Shantung junk; one of a fortified compound on a hill described on the verso: "we have a guard here as it has been threatened by Pirates;" and one of two captured pirates aboard ship tied up by their wrists and several others lying bleeding on the deck. Joyce goes on to respond to Dyer's questions about obtaining Chinese furniture. He notes that it is not easy to get anything ready-made and that the best recourse is to have articles made to suit. He advises the Captain to put in an order with a local company and provide a sketch of what he wants. He also reports on mutual acquaintances and says he has heard some reassuring words of praise "from uptown" for Capt. Dyer's work which he quotes: "your friend Captain Dyer is in very good repute with the line. Everything seems to go well on his ship." T.W. Joyce an American served with the Chinese Maritime Customs Service from Jan. 4 1934 until Jan. 12 1941 according to records of the China Families database of men and women who worked in China between the 1850s and the 1940s sponsored by the University of Bristol. Beginning with the Treaty of Nanking in 1843 British merchants were involved in the opening of Chinese ports to foreign trade and as such were interested in the security of their ships. The Chinese Maritime Customs Service originally established in 1854 as the Imperial Maritime Customs "was a foreign-administered agency of the Chinese government. Across the nearly one hundred years of its existence some 22000 men and women but mostly men from many different nationalities served in the Customs. Half of those listed were Chinese a quarter were British. The rest included French German Japanese Americans Russians Norwegians Italians and many more." The growing international population resulted in the creation of the Shanghai International Settlement an area under international control. Joyce was in Shanghai at a volatile time. Pirates regularly attacked merchant ships along the China coast often boarding as passengers before taking over the boat robbing fellow travelers and escaping with goods and occasionally hostages. One such incident is recorded in June 1934 for the China Navigation Company's merchant ship "Shuntien." In her second voyage she was taken over by pirates who beached her along the coast between Tientsin and Chefoo taking hostages and disappearing inland. Some of the crew left behind were told the pirates were retaliating for the Chinese Maritime Customs having stationed an extra customs cruiser in Shantung Bay interfering with their smuggling routes. see: A.D.Blue's article "Piracy on the China Coast" in the Journal of the Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society vol. 5 1965 p. 83 In addition to dealing with piracy the increasing dominance of the Japanese in Shanghai elevated tensions with the Chinese population and resulted in the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937 and the Battle of Shanghai in that same year. unknown books

Overall an about fine copy of this legendary rarity and epochal work in modern literature. "'I regret to see that my book has turned out un fiasco solenne.' James Joyce's disillusion with the publication of Dubliners in 1914 was the result of ten years battling with publishers resisting their demands to remove swear words real place names and much else including two entire stories. Although only 24 when he signed his first publishing contract for the book Joyce already knew its worth: to alter it in any way would 'retard the course of civilisation in Ireland'. Joyce's aim was to tell the truth - to create a work of art that would reflect life in Ireland at the turn of the last century and by rejecting euphemism reveal to the Irish the unromantic reality the recognition of which would lead to the spiritual liberation of the country. Each of the fifteen stories offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Dubliners - a death an encounter an opportunity not taken a memory rekindled - and collectively they paint a portrait of a nation."

1916réf. 140946344New York: B. W. Huebsch 1916. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First American edition utilizing English sheets first printing of James Joyce's first prose work--a collection of short stories all unified by a common place depicting Irish middle class. The stories were written while Irish Nationalism was at its peak and the search for a national identity was raging. The country was at a cultural crossroads which Joyce felt was responsible for a collective paralysis. He conceived of Dubliners as a "nicely polished looking-glass"held up to the Irish and a "first step towards their spiritual liberation." Bound in publisher's blue-green cloth stamped in green; one of 504 sets of sheets which were imported by Huebsch from the British publisher Grant Richards. Title page is a cancel printed on laid paper with "Utopian" watermark. 278pp. Near Fine textblock edge lightly dust-soiled and with a faint stain to the bottom edge pages tanned.

1914réf. 365353London: Grant Richards Ltd 1914. First edition one of 746 bound for Richards 1250 copies printed. 278 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Original dark red cloth gilt stamped lettering on the spine and front cover some light fading to spine with slightest rubbing along top edge front cover with some bubbling; marks to endpapers from former protective cover bookplate on front pastedown slight cracking to text block at p. 144. First edition one of 746 bound for Richards 1250 copies printed. 278 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. The rocky publishing history of Dubliners is well documented: finished in 1905 it was rejected by 15 publishers before Grant Richards accepted it. Richards' printers refused to set some of the type - inaugurating Joyce's lifelong struggle with censorship - and Joyce refused most of Richards' changes. It was then taken up by Maunsel & Roberts of Dublin who eventually came to a similar conclusion. Maunsel even burned all but one of the copies of the sheets which Joyce managed to wheedle out of him and it was given back to Richards who set the type from the lone Maunsel sheet saved from the flames. Joyce subsequently added "A Little Cloud" and "The Dead" - possibly his most famous single story - to the collection. Slocum and Cahoon A8 Grant Richards Ltd unknown books
