1920Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original color map. Elephant folio. (59x75 cm). In Ottoman script. [OTTOMAN MILITARY MAP of PATAGONIA and FALKLAND ISLANDS: ROUTE of DRESDEN] Alman kruvazörü Dresden'in takîbi ve tahrîbi. SMS Dresden cruiser's routes between 1913-1915 (World War 1) on the Patagonian shelf; western shores of South America, Patagonia and Falkland Islands. Dresden spent much of her career overseas. After commissioning, she visited the United States in 1909 during the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, before returning to Germany to serve in the reconnaissance force of the High Seas Fleet for three years. In 1913, she was assigned to the Mediterranean Division. She was then sent to the Caribbean to protect German nationals during the Mexican Revolution. In mid-1914, she carried the former dictator Victoriano Huerta to Jamaica, where the British had granted him asylum. She was due to return to Germany in July 1914, but was prevented by the outbreak of World War I from doing so. At the onset of hostilities, Dresden operated as a commerce raider in South American waters in the Atlantic, then moved to the Pacific Ocean in September and joined Maximilian von Spee's East Asia Squadron. Dresden saw action in the Battle of Coronel in November, where she engaged the British cruiser HMS Glasgow, and at the Battle of the Falkland Islands in December, where she was the only German warship to escape destruction. She eluded her British pursuers for several more months, until she put into Robinson Crusoe Island in March 1915. Her engines were worn out and she had almost no coal left for her boilers, so the ship's captain contacted the local Chilean authorities to have Dresden interned. She was trapped by British cruisers, including her old opponent Glasgow. The British violated Chilean neutrality and opened fire on the ship in the Battle of Más a Tierra. The Germans scuttled Dresden and the majority of the crew escaped to be interned in Chile for the duration of the war. The wreck remains in the harbor; several artifacts, including her bell and compass, have been returned to Germany.

NOT inscribed to anyone. NOT a bookplate. NOT a tip in. Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! Oprah's Book Club Pick • Ocean Vuong returns with a bighearted novel about chosen family unexpected friendship and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive "Stunning . . . A heartfelt and powerful examination of those living on the fringes of society and the unique challenges they face to survive and thrive." —Oprah Winfrey "Magnificent . . . In writing this book Vuong may have joined the ranks of an elite few great novelists." —Leigh Haber Los Angeles Times The hardest thing in the world is to live only once… One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness Connecticut nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain ready to jump when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina an elderly widow succumbing to dementia who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond one built on empathy spiritual reckoning and heartbreak with the power to transform Hai's relationship to himself his family and a community on the brink. Following the cycles of history memory and time The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which love labor and loneliness form the bedrock of American life. At its heart is a brave epic about what it means to exist on the fringes of society and to reckon with the wounds that haunt our collective soul. Hallmarks of Ocean Vuong's writing—formal innovation syntactic dexterity and the ability to twin grit with grace through tenderness—are on full display in this story of loss hope and how far we would go to possess one of life's most fleeting mercies: a second chance.
