Edges slightly browned; small publisher's handstamp to first several leaves. A revised edition of Charpentier's best-known opera. In four acts to a libretto by the composer or by Saint-Pol-Roux Louise was first performed in Paris at the Opéra-Comique Salle Favart on 2 February 1900 under Albert Carré. Considered to be his most recognized work "Louise is a supreme example of Charpentier's ability to suit contemporary Parisian taste." Robert Orledge in Grove Music Online. "Even before the première the work had become something of a cause célèbre: rumours circulated about the immorality of the subject matter as well as about the revolutionary nature of the score. In fact it is far from unconventional owing much to Gounod and Massenet; and Massenet admired it. There are however moments of originality . The work's allegiance to the realist cause its rich orchestral palette - which includes instruments as different as the viola d'amore . and the sewing-machine foreshadowing the use of everyday 'instruments' such as the typewriter in Satie's Parade - and the memorability of the set-piece 'Depuis le jour' have assured it a unique place in the repertory."

2014réf. 15143Berkeley: Counterpoint 2014. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in dust jacket. Don Carpenter was one of the finest novelists in the West. His first novel A Hard Rain Falling published in 1966 has been championed by Richard Price and George Pelecanos called it “a masterpiece . . . the definitive juvenile-delinquency novel and a damning indictment of our criminal justice system.” His novel A Couple of Comedians is thought by some the best novel about Hollywood ever written. Fridays at Enrico’s is the story of four writers living in Northern California and Portland during the early heady days of the Beat scene a time of youth and opportunity. This story mixes the excitement of beginning with the melancholy of ambition often thwarted and never satisfied. Loss of innocence is only the first price you pay. These are people men and women tender with expectation at risk and in love. Carpenter also carefully draws a portrait of these two remarkable places San Francisco and Portland in the ’50s and early ’60s when writers and bohemians were busy creating the groundwork for what came to be the counterculture. 326 pages 1950s 1960s.

Housed within a blue morocco clamshell box with gilt spine. "The rarest and best account of the trial" Eberstadt which made US legal history in its interpretations of treason and executive sovereignty. This elusive set almost always found without the third volume is Burr's own report and is crucial to understanding early democracy in America. Of especial relevance today as other high-profile American politicians face their own accusations of treason. "The most exciting trial held in this country during the first half of the nineteenth century." Graff Aaron Burr Jr. was an American politician businessman lawyer co-founder of the Bank of New York and Founding Father who served as Vice President during Jefferson's first term and more recently served as the foil in Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton. How Burr came to be arrested in Alabama in 1807 is bizarre and byzantine but in brief: Burr was rejected by his own party the Democratic-Republicans for opposing Jefferson in the 1800 presidential election runoff in the House and then was shunned by the Federalists for killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Burr went West to seek better fortunes which included a rogue military adventure to seize lands belonging to Spain in Louisiana and Mexico with incentive given to the Western states to join his adventure. However Burr's longtime friend General James Wilkinson decided to abandon this dubious plan and inform the Feds instead. President Jefferson did not look kindly on his former Vice President's conspiracy to entice the Western states to leave the Union and join with him as he colonized new lands with the support of England. Jefferson alerted Congress and ordered Burr's arrest. Firm in his belief that Burr was a traitor Jefferson had him charged as such. Luckily for Burr Chief Justice John Marshall was Jefferson's longtime political foe and would preside at Burr's trial because he was also the federal judge for the US Circuit Court in Virginia. Burr was acquitted and fled for Europe. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 14091 14092. Eberstadt 134-68. Graff 506. Howes B1013. Sabin 9433. Tompkins Burr 18. Westcott & Co unknown books
