Istanbul: Kopernik Kitap, 2019. Hardcover. New. Original bdg. 13,50 / 21,00 cm. In English. 168 p. ‘July 18th 1330/ Ramazan 8-1330. While I was in the coffee house , which was purchased by Gardiyan Cemil Efendi in the village, sitting alone and thinking, I heard that Police Mehmet Efendi was looking for me. I did not interrupt my thinking and paid no attention. But there are many talkative boys around. They said that I was sitting in the garden, and therefore, I had to answer his call. The reason for him asking about me was a letter of conscription sent to me by the Draft Office. I took it! I read it. It was demanding that I had to be at the Military Reserve Department on July 19th with five days of provisions. For now, this military service is said to be for forty five days of drills. But because of my nature of not believing anything very quickly, I did not believe this either. How so being a soldier as from today! It may continue for forty five days, or may extend to 45 months.' This book addresses itself to the handwritten log of non-commissioned Ottoman Military officer Huseyin Atif Efendi, my grandfather. He fought in the Gallipoli and the East Fronts of World War One, before the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. During the mobilization, he volunteered as a non-commissioned officer, before waiting to be called. This was his second military service, as he had completed his obligatory one during the visit of Kaiser William II to Istanbul and served as infantry regiment. In the fronts, his duty was clerkship, he wrote official war logs from time to time and set tents when necessary., Kopernik Kitap, 2019, 6, Tucson, Arizona:: University of Arizona Press, 1968.. 1st Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: light rust-red 'tweed' cloth with gilt text; the boards are slightly bowed; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket.. oblong format: 9.25 inches tall by 12.25 inches wide . Tan endpapers. Description: Illustrated with full page color reproductions of paintings by Ted De Grazia. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Artistic in his inimitable use of fresh color, De Grazia has poured his feelings through the brush with imaginative composition and individual interpretation. The Holy Season ceremonies are the main focus of the year for the Yaquis -- full of variations because they are unscripted interpretations, not formalized, unchanging rituals. The glimpses given here were set down from vivid personal recollections of the ceremonies as conducted in the mid-sixties. De Grazia spent forty days and many nights with the Yaquis. 'I waited and I waited. I watched and I watched. At night I did many sketches of what I had seen. Then I painted day and night, night and day -- I painted without interruption for I wanted to put onto the canvas the same emotional impact the Yaqui had.' The commentary and paintings display this impact.'', University of Arizona Press, 1968., 3, A rich companion to the first volume of David Plante's memoir, Becoming a Londoner, Worlds Apart explores worlds of experience drawn from the millions of words Plante has put to the page in his diaries over the last fifty years. This new volume doesn't follow sequentially from the first--rather it can be read on its own or as an overlay, building and expanding on the relationships and experiences recalled in Becoming a Londoner. Plante widens the scope of this second volume, recounting his adventures in France, Italy, Greece, Russia, Israel, New York, even Oklahoma. Fragments of diaries, notes, sketches, and drawings deepen and enrich the "characters" we met in the first volume, including Nikos, his longtime partner, and luminaries such as Philip Roth and E.M. Forster.Plante is never without a school notebook and a ballpoint pen. He writes everywhere, updating his diary in the waiting areas of train stations or airplane terminals, and on long trips without interruptions. He spends hours in cafes, especially one in Lucca called Di Simo, and at home, in his study, where he is amazed that he starts an entry in full sunlight and puts his pen down at night, hardly aware that he'd needed to switch on a desk lamp to continue. It is this lifelong devotion to his diary that endows us with decades of stories about the artistic elite. Both a deeply personal memoir and a fascinating and significant work of cultural history, Worlds Apart is a luminous evocation of a world of writers, poets, artists, and thinkers., Bloomsbury Usa, 2015, 6, Albuquerque - New Mexico: Alpha Printing Ltd., 1973. Second Printing . Hard Back. Fine/No Dust Jacket. 6" x 9. 75 Pages. This is the 1981 Second Printing. Green boards with silver lettering to spine and cover. Very light wear to the top page edges. Barely noticaible. An account with numerous photos of life in Madrid, New Mexico, before it became a ghost town. In its mining days Madrid (pronouned as in MAD) had a certain beauty about it and location had something to do with it, nestled there in the narrow valley, six thousand feet above sea level, protected by the surrounding, wooded mountains. But it was not all peace, order, security and beauty. To the, Northwest and South of town are the coal mines, the tipples, the railroad, the water· tank cars that brought the water for the Town's consumption. The loaded coal cars ready to haul out the coal that was the life blood of the Town. Somehow there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the peace and quiet of the Town and rattle of the small loaded cars clicking over the rails from the mouths of the tunnels, dumping their loads and returning for more; the crash and roar of the coal pouring down the chutes to the waiting railroad cars below; the clouds of black dust and smoke; the hiss of steam which was too often interrupted when tragedy struck, followed by the awful silence of bitter sorrow which hung over the valley when husband, father, brother or son died in the black depths of the unfeeling mountain. The living must go on and the men must work so after a decent interval the daily activities were resumed. Perhaps the inherent faith and courage of the people permeated the atmosphere and a feeling of peace did prevail. The Company and the people worked together to make Madrid the most renowned coal mining town in the world. Madrid was their Town and they were proud of it. The Madrid Employees Club was formed, a Civil Organization, with dues of seventy five cents a month. The members, with the assistance of the Company, as early as 1920, had a fine baseball park with the first electric score board and the first electric lighted field in the State for night time baseball games. The Madrid Miners were the Central New Mexico League Champions. Madrid had tennis courts, a seven hole golf course, out door basket ball courts, a Gun Club Shooting Range and more amenities. Today much has been restored and it is a tourist attraction with fine restaurants, a museum, and more.

Intentionally and Unintentionally A bridegroom-to-be is involved in a fatal car accident, losing a good friend and his fiancée in the aftermath. The only person who can help him is the one who bitterly craves revenge against him ., Feldheim, 2016, 6, New York: The Century Co, 1929.

Original gilt-decorated parchment spine / with parchment corners and patterned (batik?) paper-covered sides. No owner's name or bookplate.

Johnson/Blanck p. 85. BAL 2310. FIELD OF HONOR is an historical novel of the Napoleonic wars, in which an Irishman leaves Derrymore to join the fight. Two bitter foes duke it out: Napoleon and Lord Castlereagh (Robert Stewart), the British Secretary of State for War. Curiously, some booksellers insist that FIELD OF HONOR was the author's last novel; but not so. There were several others published later, between 1930 and 1935 (See BAL 2312 - 2328). The author was born Brian Oswald Donn-Byrne in 1889 while his Irish parents were on a business trip in New York. The family soon returned to Ireland where Byrne was educated at Trinity College in Dublin. "Donn-Byrne was a typical, romantic, fighting North Irishman. His writings manifest his deep aversion to 'progress,' his belief in the futility of politics, his love of sport, and his poetic Scots-Irish mysticism. In his work he tried to capture for an instant 'a beauty that was dying slowly, imperceptibly, but would soon be gone.' And with his feeling for color and his ear for the music of words he succeeded in imparting a mythical and mystical beauty to the Ireland of his imagination." - Frank Monaghan (in Dictionary of American Biography). .
