First and only edition of Carrión’s first published book. In 1966 Carrión 1941-89 was one of Mexico’s emerging literary talents. A number of his short stories had been published in leading journals and his first play El Gran Espectáculo was performed at the Casa de la Cultura de Tlacotalpan Veracruz to rave reviews. Following his studies in philosophy and letters at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México he spent time in France and Germany 1964-65 learning both languages. La muerte de Miss O consisting of six short stories — La muerte de Miss O Y el olvido… Las palabras Graciela y yo El asalto and Como la serpiente — was lauded in an effusive review published in El Colegio de México’s Diálogos: Artes Letras Ciencias humanas. “La muerte de Miss O. 1966 a collection of six stories in which he fluctuates between psychological and realistic prose is perhaps his most well-known and highly acclaimed work. Skillfully employing the interior monologue somewhat reminiscent of both Marcel Proust and William Faulkner Carrión creates vivid and engaging characters whose psychological self-expression is tinged with realism.”––Eladio Cortés ed.

Best.-Nr. 143753Mexico: Joaquín Mortiz 1970. First edition and only edition number 533 of 3000 copies of Carrión's second book a collection of six short stories employing the interior monologue by "perhaps Mexico's most important conceptual artist" Torre. Uncommon on the market: we were unable to trace any other copies for sale or at auction. Ulises Carrión 1941-1989 wrote De Alemania after his language and literature studies in France and Germany. In 1972 Carrión left Mexico and moved to Amsterdam where he founded the legendary Other Books and So bookstore and event space. He remains best known for his decisive role in defining and conceptualising the artistic genre artists' book through his manifest The New Art of Making Books 1975 "in which he extols the virtues of the book as a three-dimensional medium and convincingly refutes the idea of its being an accidental container of literature: 'A book is not a case of words nor a bag of words nor a bearer of words.' Arguing that if in the 'old art the writer writes texts . in the new art the writer makes books' Carrión urged writers and artists to take advantage of the possibilities that new printing technologies such as the mimeograph had to offer to bypass the market and to form alternate distribution networks by fostering communities of like-minded practitioners" Torre. Octavo. Original pictorial white wrappers printed in purple and black titles to spine and front cover in black and white. Extremities a little rubbed vertical creasing to spine the binding otherwise firm and unfaded slight spotting to top edge internally clean and fresh; a very good copy indeed.

Best.-Nr. 147821Rare Javanese kris commonly used in the pencak silat martial art native to Indonesia from the collection of General William T. Sherman preserved in his military trunk. Ulysses S. Grant a close friend of Sherman’s went on a “World Tour” after his second presidential term had ended. It has been suggested that Grant collected a few souvenirs for his dear friend while visiting Asia. When the Grant family returned from their trip Sherman greeted Grant at a reunion held by the veterans of the Army of the Tennessee. In good condition with handle missing. The piece measures 14.5 inches. General William Tecumseh Sherman and General Ulysses S. Grant were key figures in the Union Army during the American Civil War forming a close personal and professional relationship that significantly influenced the war’s outcome. Grant known for his strategic leadership recognized Sherman’s military talents early in the war and the two collaborated on major campaigns including the Vicksburg Campaign 1863 and Sherman’s March to the Sea 1864–1865. Their coordinated efforts exemplified the Union’s strategy of total war aimed at crippling the Confederacy’s resources and morale. After the war their partnership continued with Sherman succeeding Grant as Commanding General of the U.S. Army in 1869 when Grant became President. Their mutual trust and shared military philosophy played a crucial role in shaping U.S. military strategy and post-war reconstruction efforts. unknown

Bd. «die Urkunden enthaltend». - «Ulysses von Salis Marschlins geboren 25.8.1728 Schloss Marschlins Gemeinde Landquart gestorben 6.10.1800 Wien ref. von Igis und Zürich. Die Jugend verbrachte S. v.a. in Chiavenna und Soglio. Nach Privatunterricht und Bildungsreisen studierte er 1745-46 in Basel Recht. 1755 begann er mit der Publikation von hist. polit. und ökonom. Schriften die auf aristokrat.-patriot. Gedankengut basierten. Die jurist. Arbeiten waren häufig Rechtsgutachten zu Auseinandersetzungen in den Drei Bünden sowie deren Souveränitätsrechten in den Untertanenlanden. Nach 1759 förderte S. die Einführung der Baumwollspinnerei im Verlagssystem; diese Initiative scheiterte ebenso wie die Seidenraupenzucht in Marschlins. Er war Mitglied sowie 1770-71 Präs. der Helvet. Gesellschaft und stand in engem Kontakt mit Isaak Iselin und Hans Caspar Hirzel. S. engagierte sich für eine Ertragssteigerung der Landwirtschaft und war 1778 Mitgründer der Gesellschaft landwirtschaftl. Freunde. Ende der 1770er Jahre betrieb er die Entsumpfung bei Castione im Veltlin. Im Sinne von Franz Urs Balthasar - dieser hatte die Einrichtung einer "Pflanzschule" für angehende Politiker beider Konfessionen gefordert - unterstützte er ab 1763 das von Martin von Planta 1761 gegr. Seminar in Haldenstein das 1771 nach Marschlins verlegt wurde. Nach dem Tod Plantas übernahm er vorübergehend die pädagog. Leitung und wandelte die Schule 1775 in ein Philanthropinum nach Basedow'schem Muster um. 1777 musste er das Institut aus finanziellen Gründen schliessen. 1749 besetzte S. erstmals eine Amtsstelle im Gericht der Vier Dörfer wo er später auch Landammann war. 1757-59 amtierte er als Podestà in Tirano. 1761-62 führte er die Gesandtschaft zur Erneuerung des Mailänder Kapitulats. Das Abkommen begünstigte die österr. Verkehrspolitik und die im Veltlin begüterten S. führte aber zu verstärkter Opposition gegen deren Hausmachtpolitik. Die Interessen der Fam. liessen sich im Tomilserhandel 1766 durchsetzen. 1768 erreichte S. zur Irritation der etablierten franz. Parteigänger seine Ernennung zum franz. Geschäftsträger meist "Minister" genannt bei den Drei Bünden. 1771-75 hintertrieb er gegen die österr. Interessen das Strassenprojekt Chiavenna-Nauders seines Hauptgegners Peter Conradin Constantin von Planta. Wohl auf Betreiben der Bündner Oppositionspartei der reformer. Patrioten verlor er 1792 den Geschäftsträgerposten und auch die Kompanie deren Inhaber er war. 1794 wurde er vor die Standesversammlung zitiert und nach seiner Flucht vom "Unparteiischen Gericht" als Vogelfreier verbannt. Der Anschluss des Veltlins an die Cisalpin. Republik 1797 brachte ihm grosse Verluste. Von seinem Landgut Eckbühl bei Höngg aus agitierte er gegen die Patrioten und den Anschluss Bündens an die Helvet. Republik. Im Sept. 1799 floh er nach St. Gallen und weiter nach Wien. S. war der einflussreichste Bündner in der 2. Hälfte des 18. Jh. Als Aufklärer im Sinne des aristokrat. Patriotismus leistete er Reformarbeit in Publizistik Ökonomie und Erziehung. Neben dem hochfliegenden Idealismus stand seine Tätigkeit als Realpolitiker. Der virtuose Diplomat führte das 3. Mailänder Kapitulat mit Österreich herbei um kurz darauf dessen Einfluss mit der Hinwendung zu Frankreich einzudämmen. Gleichwertig daneben stand für ihn die Stärkung des Hauses S. Die in den 1760er Jahren entstehende Opposition gegen die "Familienherrschaft" konnte sich erst im Gefolge der revolutionären Ereignisse durchsetzen die S. ins österr. Lager trieben» HLS. 010 o.
