Description:
New York::: Scribners,,, 1969... First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine copy with previous owner sticker removed from the flyleaf in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket. These five works grew, of course, out of Hemingway's considerable experience of the Spanish war as a correspondent for the North American Newspaper Alliance and as a participant in filming "The Spanish Earth." More specifically, they grew from adventures in and around besieged Madrid--particularly in the Hotel Florida and in a bar called Chicote's. The book is unified, then, in time, place, and action. It is unified even more by the dominating presence of the author, who is to be found alive on every page. That presence slants the focus, but also gives the book its sharp distinction. This is immediate, unmistakable Hemingway. This collection contains Hemingway's play "The Fifth Column", and the four stories "The Denunciation", The Butterfly and the Tank", "Night Before Battle" and "Under the Ridge". Despite his fascination… Read More

1646 SENECA Tragedies Stoic Philosophy Stoicism Mythology Hercules Amsterdam

"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
― Seneca

A rare early-16th-century printing of the works of Seneca the Younger. Seneca wrote essays, dialogues, and letters, all of which offer valuable insight into Ancient Rome. His tragedies, however, are his most iconic and recognizable works. These works tell many of the famous stories of mythology including those of Hercules, The Trojan Women, Oedipus, and Agamemnon.
This 1646 pocket-size edition was published in Amsterdam and features a fine, illustrated title page.

St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
