Title: He Knew He Was Right
Author: TROLLOPE Anthony STONE Marcus
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1869. First Edition. TROLLOPE, Anthony. He Knew He Was Right. London: Strahan, 1869. Thirty-two parts. Octavo, original drab stiff paper wrappers printed in red and black, stitched as issued. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. $6000.First edition in the scarce 32 original parts in printed paper wrappers of Trollope's widely praised novel of obsession and madness, with 64 wood-engraved illustrations (32 full-page). A beautiful unrestored copy complete with all advertisements, handsomely boxed by Sangorski & Sutcliffe.Nathaniel Hawthorne captured the essence of Anthony Trollope's considerable appeal in noting that his novels ""precisely suit my taste; solid, substantial as if some giant had hewn a great lump out of the earth and put it under a glass case, with all its inhabitants going about their daily business, and not suspecting that they were made a show of."" Trollope is said to have been inspired by Shakespeare's Othello in He Knew He Was Right. ""One of Trollope's best but least-known novels it achieves what Henry James, who admired the book, has called 'an impressive completeness of misery"" (Hennessey, 291). The novel's focus on the obsessions of his protagonist produces ""a narrative that is at once a 'sane' realistic novel and a 'mad' Shakespearean tragedy"" (Oberhalman, Studies in English Literature). Written from November 1867-June 1868, and serialized in 32 weekly numbers from October 17, 1868-May 22, 1869. With 64 wood-engraved illustrations after Marcus Stone (32 full page). Sadleir 31. Interiors generally clean and fine, only a bit of light wear to spines of first and last parts, occasional minor toning and edge-wear to other parts. A beautiful, near-fine copy, scarce and desirable in the original parts, complete with all ads.

Title: Historical Consciousness, Haskalah, and Nationalism among the Karaites of Eastern Europe
Author: Akhiezer, Golda (author);
Seller: Eric Chaim Kline - Bookseller (United States)
ISBN: 9789004360570
Condition: Fine
Description: Leiden: Brill, 2018. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. Octavo. xviii, 369, (1)pp. Index and 27 page bibliography. Text in English. Illustrated with 6 text figures. Green buckram lettered in white with red band near top of spine. A fine, as new copy. The present study is the first of its kind to deal with Eastern European Karaite historical thought. It focuses on the social functions of Karaite historical narratives concerning the rise of Karaism from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. The book also deals with the image of Karaism created by Protestants, and with the perception of Karaism by some leaders of the Haskalah movement, especially the scholars of Hokhmat Israel. In both cases, Karaism was seen as an orientalistic phenomenon whereby the “enlightened” European scholars romanticized the “indigenous” people, while the Karaites (themselves), adopted this romantic images, incorporating it into their own national discourse. Finally, the book sheds new light on several conventional notions that shaped the study of Karaism from the nineteenth century.
