1928Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary 1/3 leather bdg. made as original illustrated covers preserved inside. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 221 p.; 291 p. Fourth Edition (both). Early editions of this bestseller novel(s) telling "the suffering of a woman who buried her forbidden love in her heart in a society where love is closed behind thick curtains, through the eyes of a woman", by Güzide Sabri (1886-1946). Güzide Sabri Aygün was a Turkish female writer known for her modern romances, which were published in multiple editions and several languages. She had two sisters, Fatma Aliye and Emine Semiye. She grew up in Çamlica neighborhood of Istanbul. In later years, she had to leave Istanbul and move to Anatolia with her family as her father was exiled, resulting from his opposition to the despotism of Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II (reigned 1876-1909). At a young age, she was married to Ahmet Sabri Aygün, the first notary of Beyoglu (Pera). She was educated at home by special tutors. She was interested in literature, inspired by her teacher Hodja Tahir Effendi, a dictionary writer. She started to write at a very young age. However, her teachers proposed she better deal with religious matters instead of poetry. Contrary to the pressures of her literature teacher, she wrote her first novel Münevver in her youth years in 1899. She wrote the novel in remembrance of her friend, who died from tuberculosis. It was serialized in the newspaper Hanimlara Mahsus ("For Ladies"), and won well recognition. In 1901, two years later, the novel was published as a book and was also translated into the Serbian language. Her husband felt discomfort by his wife's prominence. As her teachers' reaction was not enough, her husband also objected to her writing. However, her enthusiasm could not deter her from writing. It is understood that her husband tried to prevent her writing as he did not allow her to write already at the wedding. She was forced to continue writing at night or secretly. After a short time, her husband died. The unexpected death of her husband left deep traces in her. Güzide Sabri became a female writer, who remained lifelong unhappy having a sad life in literature history. During this time, the Servet-i Fünun ("Wealth of Knowledge") movement, formed by Recaizâde Mahmud Ekrem (1847-1914) and his students, left its mark on the literature. Güzide Sabri was one of the authors, who did not join the movement and remained on their own line. She is considered as one of the first female novelists among Turkish writers with widespread fame, even though she was not involved in the new literary movement. She published her works in the Servet-i Fünun and other journals of the "National Literature" without being a member of any literary community. Her novels, which were written in the early years of the Second Constitutional Era (1908-1918) and the Republican era (from 1922), and were subject of feeling, dream, blind love, and broken hearts, were very popular, and had multiple editions and were repeatedly filmed. Her second novel Ölmüs Bir Kadinin Evrak-i Metrûkesi ("Derelict Documents of a Dead For Woman") was a bestseller. It was first published in 1901, reprinted several times, and was filmed twice, in 1956 and then in 1969. The novel was translated into the Armenian language. She authored romance novels for simple readers. She is considered as the author writing the first examples of the so-called mass-market romance novels, and pioneer of the broken-hearts novels in her country. Her 1930-novel Hicran Gecesi ("Night of Sorrow") is about the forbidden love of a bad woman. This book takes the romance novel one step forward in a forbidden, impossible love story. Her novels, which take place in Istanbul, attracted the interest of readers outside of big cities like Istanbul and Izmir as well.

1931Best.-Nr. 9766London: Jonathan Cape 1931. First edition. 8vo 158pp. Signed in full by Mitchison on the ffep. Publisher's patterned cloth boards spine lettered in red. Former owner's bookplate to ffep spine toned. Very good. Early collaborative play co-written by socialist novelist and feminist thinker Naomi Mitchison and Lewis Gielgud writer and humanitarian worker. Set amid revolutionary tensions the play follows characters forced to choose between loyalty love and ideology where "freedom" comes at the expense of personal compromise and strained relationships. Mitchison's influence brings a notable emphasis on women as active participants in political life rather than bystanders and reflects her ongoing engagement with questions of political freedom socialism and gender. The book itself is unaccountably scarce in the trade and represents an early dramatic work from Mitchison written during her most politically engaged period. Jonathan Cape unknown

In-8, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 4 nerfs orné de compartiments ornés d'un décor fleuronné et cloisonné estampé à froid, pièce de titre de maroquin brique, filet à froid sur les coupes, tranches rouges, 164 p. Seconde édition publiée l'année de l'originale. Prétendument traduit de l'anglais, il s’agit de la première oeuvre romanesque composée par Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni. Raymond Trousson ("Notes de lecture" in "Dix-Huitième Siècle", 1981, p. 445 sq.) rappelle "les origines autobiographiques de ce roman, ce qu'il doit à Richardson, Crébillon fils et Marivaux, tout en mettant en relief l'originalité de la romancière: dépouillement, concentration du temps et de l'espace romanesques, absence de digressions. Roman de l'illusion, où l'héroïne constate que l'amant n'était qu'une création de sa propre pensée, roman féministe enfin, où s'exprime un éloquent réquisitoire contre les hommes". "L'un des meilleurs auteurs de romans du siècle. Pour la première fois, la femme soulève le problème de sa destinée" (Monglond, cité par Dict. Fayard, p. 1120). (Martin, Mylne et Frautschi, 'Bibliographie du genre romanesque français', 57 :12. Quérard, France littéraire, VIII, 18). Ex-libris gravé du bibliophile britannique Anthony Conyers Surtees. Très bon exemplaire, très frais, dans une reliure anglaise de l'époque ornée d'un décor estampé à froid.

Petit in-4, demi-veau brun, titre doré en long (coif. usées, un mors fendillé, rel. XIXe), (4), 20 p. Rare édition originale de fait divers qui défraya la chronique du temps de la Fronde. Le document est daté de Paris, le 30 avril 1648 soit quelques jours après les événements qu'il relate et signé "L. le C.". Le permis d'imprimer est du 10 juin. La brochure porte en titre de départ: "L'Amant obstiné dans ses recherches et la Fille constante en ses refus". Le sieur de Charmoy qui voulait épouser une demoiselle de Sainte-Croix, fut éconduit par celle-ci malgré la promesse du père. Sur la demande de Charmoy, un procès fut renvoyé au Parlement de Paris, où, par arrêt, est ordonné que la fille sera mise au couvent des Filles-Dieu pour déclarer sa volonté. Charmoy, enragé, se résolut d'enlever la fille. "Accompagné de cinq hommes, ils la tirent de sa chambre de force quoiqu'elle fut en chemise, lui font donner de la tête contre le plancher, cent coups de bâton, d'éperons et des coups sur les bras pour lui faire quitter prise, la traînent dans le jardin nue comme la main (…), la tirent par les cheveux mais n'en peuvent venir à bout (...). On sonne le tocsin, la population accourt et l'enlèvement échoue" (cf. O. Lefèvre D'Ormesson, 'Journal', 1860, I, 470 sq.). Un jugement très sévère fut rendu par le Parlement contre les auteurs du rapt : amende honorable devant la porte du couvent des Filles-Dieu, supplice de la roue, leurs biens confisqués et leurs maisons rasées. Quant à Mademoiselle de Sainte-Croix, elle épousa, en 1654, un prétendant choisi. Dulaure relate d'affaire avec précision dans son 'Histoire de Paris', éd. de 1823, II, 401. Court de marge inférieure sans perte de texte. Moreau (‘Mazarinades’, II, n°1868) indique que "le seul exemplaire que j'ai vu est incomplet".
