Description
London: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1929. First Edition. First edition in English, prior to the ubiquitous American edition, copies of which pile up for sale like newspapers on the doorsteps of dead homeowners. Fine in near fine, bright, and fastidiously preserved dustjacket. A superior copy of the first seriously detached view of WWI., still the most famous, and maybe still the best. Custom half buffalo box. One of literature's most powerful anti-war statements, stripping away the patriotic rhetoric of combat to reveal the brutal reality of warfare. Through the eyes of young German soldier Paul Bäumer, the novel methodically dismantles the glorification of battle by portraying the physical and psychological devastation experienced by ordinary soldiers. The work's effectiveness as an anti-war narrative derives from its unflinching depiction of the tedium, terror, and senseless destruction that characterizes modern warfare. Remarque's focus on the shared humanity between enemies, in scenes where Paul contemplates the Russian prisoners and the French soldier he kills in a shell hole, underscores the ultimate futility of nationalist conflict. The novel's power comes not from explicit political messaging but through its intimate portrayal of youth destroyed, friendships severed, and futures obliterated by the machinery of war, presenting a universal condemnation of warfare that transcends its specific World War I setting and continues to resonate nearly a century after its publication.

He acknowledged years later that it contained the germs of most ideas later expanded by him into discoveries, e.g., his years of observations of the auroral lights led him to claim that their origin was electric; the hypothesis that the atmosphere contained aqueous vapor that existed as an independent elastic fluid mechanically mixed with the other components of the air. The record of a vigorous original thinker. The second issue point is the fact that the date is not present on the title and the printer is stated as Ostell.

Description
1, 6, 11, 47 folding leaves. Large 8vo, orig. yellow patterned wrappers (wrappers a little soiled), orig. block-printed title label on upper cover, new stitching. [Korea: 1870s]. A rare anonymous manual for the general education of writers of classical Chinese from late Chosŏn Korea. The term “bamboo slips” originally referred to the material supports of writing in antiquity. In classical Chinese usage of later ages — and in this title — the phrase was used metonymically in reference to the implements and genres of classical Chinese writing. This book covers the four “rites” of capping, marriage, funerals, and sacrifices. Each rite had specific genres associated with it, which a reader of the book would learn to practice. Ample advice is included for writing letters to parents, children, teachers, and friends — and words to use when referring to these individuals — as well as servants and slaves. While focused on the acquisition of everyday writing skills in classical Chinese, this book brings to mind a larger genre of so-called “daily use encyclopedias” (Ch.: riyong leishu 日用類書), which flourished in East Asia from at least the 16th century onward but had older antecedents. Those books provided readers, even from lower social strata, with information for use in a variety of areas. Our book, with its national viewpoint and inclusion of elements of elite writing such as classical Chinese verse, probably envisaged a rather more elite readership, or at least one that had aspirations of social advancement. Who actually used this book is another question, of course, and the Compilation offers some hints: the pictured page from the list of “state taboos” contains marginalia that is written in part in vernacular Korean in the han’gŭl alphabet, with nouns written in Chinese characters. From what we see of the text, it appears that it concerns the ritual of entering the tablet of a recently deceased ancestor to the temple. This is also referred to in the printed text below, in the context of the succession of kings and consorts. Vernacular writing was widely practiced within the Chosŏn elite, but the brushstrokes — for whatever reason — look a bit hesitant. On the basis of the phrases used in the list to refer to the Chosŏn kings and royal consorts, researchers have concluded that the edition dates from the reign of King Kojong but before the death of Queen Myŏngsŏng, that is, sometime between 1864 and 1895. A very good copy. Marginal worming in the final 14 leaves. Our copy agrees with the Harvard copy (WorldCat accession number 40692963).
