1796In 12° (12,5×8 cm); (8), 157, (1) pp. Legatura coeva in cartoncino settecentesco con titolo impresso in oro su fascetta in pelle al dorso. Antichi pecetta e timbretto di proprietà privata al frontespizio che attestano l'appartenenza del volume prima, all'avvocato Domenico Magiera e poi all'avvocato Alfonso Magiera, ambedue appartenente all'antica famiglia ebrea di origini polacche dei Magiera. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima rarissima traduzione italiana, nessun esemplare censito in ICCU, di una delle opere principali del celeberrimo scrittore e botanico francese, Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (Le Havre, 19 gennaio 1737 - Éragny, 21 gennaio 1814). Sant-Pierre fu uno degli scrittori di maggior successo del settecento e le sue opere vennero tradotte in numerosissime lingue. Autore di alcuni dei più importanti racconti del settecento, ebbe una vita avventurosa. A soli dodici anni intraprese un viaggio fino alla Martinica che lo segnò profondamente. Militare di carriera partecipò alla campagnia d'Assia del 1760 perdendo i gradi militari guadagnati sul campo a causa della sua insubordinazione. Tornato a Parigi si diede all'insegnamento della matematica ma la vita sedentaria e monotona che viveva non riusciva a soddisfarlo. Si rimise quindi in viaggio viaggiando attraverso i Paesi Bassi, Germania e Russia (dove sembra che fu amante di Caterina II di Russia), poi di nuovo a Dresda, Varsavia e Berlino dove si fermò per un certo periodo ospite di Federico II. Viaggiato di nuovo attraverso la Francia si decise a tornare alle Mauritius (dal 1768 al 1771). Giunse di nuovo a Parigi dove si stabilì e dove legò con gli ambienti illuministi ed in particolare con Rousseau. Fu qui che mise a frutto le sue esperienze di viaggio che utilizzò per ambientare i suoi romanzi che ottennero da subito un enorme successo. Con la sua opera "Études de la Nature" nel 1784 la sua fama e le sue ricchezze crebbero ulteriormente. "Luigi XVI lo nominò intendente del Jardin des plantes, la Rivoluzione professore di morale all'École normale, quindi membro dell'Académie des sciences morales (1795); Napoleone, che lo ammirava moltissimo, lo pensionò." (da Treccani). La sua opera anticipa e apre la strada al romanticismo del primo ottocento che in buona parte anticipò, tanto che in molte sue opere non si può non notare il gusto per le rovine, i sepolcri ed il pathos romantico. La Capanna Indiana come altri suoi romanzi si inserisce perfettamente nell'ambito delle utopie naturistico-umanitarie nate sull'onda della filosofia di Rousseau ed è uno dei più chiari esempi del genere che allo stesso Sat-Pierre è considerato l'inventore, il viaggio pittoresco dove le descrizioni di luoghi naturali splendidi viene arricchita attraverso l'utilizzo di un linguaggio elevato fatto di termini scientifici. Il romanzo "La Capanna Indiana" è un viaggio attraverso i paesaggi dell'India alla ricerca della verità ad alcune domande esistenziali come "Dov'è la verità? Con quali mezzi possiamo trovarla (gli uomini hanno tutti diverse percezioni della verità, anche facendo affidamento sulla ragione)? In quali circostanze la verità può essere colta?". Dopo aver cercato la verità in lungo ed in largo per tutta l'India ed i personaggi più dotti, le domande trovano la risposta presso un paria che spiega al protagonista che dobbiamo cercare la verità con un cuore semplice, essa si trova solo in natura e dovrebbe essere detta solo alle persone buone e cioè a coloro che sono pronti ad ascoltarla. L'opera descrive perfettamente alcune degli aspetti più interessanti e curiosi della società e dei costumi indiani dell'epoca. Opera rarissima in questa prima edizione italiana.

1923réf. BRI-1923-152His Majesty’s Stationery Office HMSO London First published: 1923 1923. This is the official history produced by the Historical Section of the Committee of Imperial Defence. Your set is the 1923–27 reprint of the original 1920–27 issue. Reprints are still highly collectible especially when complete with maps. 8vo. SHORT DESCRIPTION Year: 1923-1927 nVolume: Volume I Volume II Volume III Volume IV nPublisher: His Majesty’s Stationery Office DESCRIPTION A definitive four-volume official history of the Mesopotamian campaign combining authoritative military analysis and detailed operational maps into one of the British Empire’s most important First World War records. n nCloth remains bright with some fading and handling marks particularly to spines. Light bumping to extremities. Internally clean with occasional light spotting. Maps appear complete and well-preserved. One volume with small shelf label to spine. Overall a strong working set of this substantial official history. STORY This is not a general history—it is the British Empire’s official account of one of the most complex and underexamined theatres of the First World War. Compiled at the request of the Government of India and based directly on official military records The Campaign in Mesopotamia presents a forensic reconstruction of operations across modern-day Iraq. From the early advances along the Shatt al-Arab to the catastrophic siege of Kut and the eventual capture of Baghdad this work captures both the ambition and the miscalculations of imperial warfare. What distinguishes this set is its authority. Written by Brigadier-General F. J. Moberly under the Historical Section of the Committee of Imperial Defence it is effectively the Empire documenting itself—strategy logistics command decisions and failures laid bare with institutional precision. The inclusion of detailed folding maps—such as the operational plans around Mohammerah and the lower Mesopotamian theatre—transforms the work from narrative into a functional military record. These were tools of understanding not decoration. Complete sets are increasingly difficult to assemble in uniform condition. As a four-volume official history this stands as one of the definitive primary sources for the Mesopotamian campaign and remains essential for collectors of military history imperial studies and Middle Eastern conflict narratives. WHY THIS MATTERS Official war histories occupy a unique position in the rare book market—they are both primary sources and institutional narratives. This set provides direct insight into British imperial military operations in the Middle East a region whose geopolitical significance continues to resonate today. Complete sets particularly with maps intact are increasingly scarce in the trade. Volume I His Majesty’s Stationery Office (HMSO) London First published: 1923 unknown
In 16° (cm 11,7 x 19,3), legatura piena pelle marmoreggiata coeva, titolo su tassello, fregi in oro al dorso, pp VIII, 184, impresa (di Barthélémy Chirol ad istanza di Gabriel Cramer) al frontespizio. Esemplare in buone condizioni. Destinati a porre rimedio all'ingiustizia dell'esecuzione del generale Lally, i "Fragments" apparvero, nella prima versione di XX Articoli, verso la fine del mese di luglio 1773. Questa prima edizione di Ginevra, impressa da Barhélémy Chirol su richiesta di Gabriel Cramer, fu seguita da vicino dall'edizione di Parigi e da una edizione pirata di Londra. Nell'edizione delle "Oeuvres complètes" di Kehl, il testo volterriano fu radicalmente alterato su autorizzazione di Condorcet, che implicato nell'"affaire Lally", volle "rettificare" gli "errori" di Voltaire. Come nell'"affaire Calas", Voltaire prese le difese di un individuo accusato ingiustamente, uscendo alla fine vittorioso dal confronto con il potere giudiziario. La critica volterriana della giustizia francese nell'opera, è la stessa che V. scaglia dai tempi del suo "Commentaire sur le livre Des délits et des peines de Beccaria": processi segreti, giudizi vaghi, codice di leggi fatto apposta per precisare i delitti inesistenti. Inoltre V. approfitta del teatro della guerra in India per colmare la sua curiosità sulle civiltà orientali, soprattutto in vista della campagnacontro la religione giudeo-cristiana. L'India è secondo lui la più antica civiltà, ed è sintesi della grandezza e insieme del ridicolo della specie umana. Esemplari censiti in COPAC.
