London: Hodder & Stoughton, 2013. First Edition. Cloth. Like New/Like New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book, Hodder & Stoughton, 2013, 5, Paperback / softback. New. 'Thrilling, tremendously enjoyable' The New York Times 'A nail-biting escape story' Financial Times At the age of twenty-four, Winston Churchill already believed he was destined for greatness. This is the incredible story of how one incredible year in Churchill's life - an adventure involving war in South Africa, imprisonment, endurance and escape - would be the making of one of the most extraordinary men in history. 'Few can match the originality and narrative power of Candice Millard's elegantly written and surprisingly revealing account of the young Churchill's exploits' Saul David, Daily Telegraph 'A thrilling account ... This book is an awesome nail-biter and top-notch character study rolled into one' Jennifer Senior, The New York Times, Books of the Year Gripping ... thrilling ... Millard tells it with gusto ... casts an interestingly oblique light on Churchill's personality, and on a traumatic war' Lucy Hughes-Hallett, Observer, Books of the Year 'Completely engrossing' Andrew Roberts, 6, Paperback / softback. New., 6, Bonhams, New York, auction catalogue for the sale held on 15th December 2011. Laminated illustrated wrappers, 4to, 27 cm,. 97 pp, colour ills. Lots 5002-5290. From the Director's Foreword: "..the sale begins with works by some .. saints, Bonaventura and John Chrysostom, accompanying a number of incunabula including an Anton Koberger- printed psalter. A strong Travel section features an account by a Spaniard who posed as a Muslim to explore Asia Minor, a Mexico City edition of Cortés' letters, John Harris' compendium of voyages, several Hawaiian items, and an extremely attractive first quarto edition of Roberts' Holy Land. The highlights, however, are the maps and atlases: a set of five woodcut maps by Heinrich Bunting including the cloverleaf world map; a 1602 Spanish edition of Ortelius' Theatrum orbis terrarium containing 118 map sheets with period coloring, including the first separate maps of China and Japan to appear in a European atlas; and a 1535 Ptolemy atlas with 50 maps of both the ancient and modem world. In Science and Natural History, we have the first and last octavo editions of Audubon's Birds of America to be printed from that initial set of lithographic plates - the former uniformly bound with the Quadrupeds. A very tall copy of Wilson's American Ornithology is a good foil. Also concerned with flying objects are three manuscripts of rocketry pioneers, the earliest being an unusual reference to rocket-related military secrets in an 1850 Austrian letter. Closer to the present day, in an important 36-page manuscript Konstantin Tsiolkovsky opines on how multi- stage rockets can make manned space exploration a reality, while a struggling Hermann Oberth offers advice on developing the "Mirak" rocket. We're delighted to be offering some forty original illustrations in our Art section, juxtaposed with an array of artists' letters, fore-edge paintings, and illustrated books. Highlights include: a mixed media work by the Belgian Symbolist Jean de Bosschere; two pen and ink drawings by Edward Gorey; a Rackham watercolor for the Night Before Christmas; a large watercolor for what was arguably Heath Robinson's most important work; a Schulz comic strip; works by Saul Steinberg, Robert Tallon, Leonard Weisgard, Dare Wright, and Maurice Sendak; and several works by contemporary illustrators like Thea Kllros, Barbara McClintock and David Johnson. The section also includes the first edition of the first American comic book (1842) in almost unknown original wrappers. The Christmas theme crops up again in our Literature section, with a set of Dickens' Christmas books in inlaid crimson morocco bindings, and the Kern-Bemis copy of A Christmas Carol in original first statecloth. It is unusual to see an item of furniture in a book sale, but we are pleased to be offering Joseph Heller's writing desk and lamp. A small section of James Joyce is headed up by the first edition of Ulysses, one of the 750 copies on handmade paper. A cast- signed Gone with the Wind makes an interesting bedfellow with an Ayn Rand letter complaining about left-leaning Hollywood, and the section also includes an extensive James Thurber manuscript archive. Leading the Americana section is a charming Jefferson letter to the craftsman behind Monticello's famous dome, and the Revolutionary War period is seen in all its cruelty in a series of desperate letters from an American prisoner of war held captive in the British prison ship Jersey. A rare collection of manuscript music by Miles Davis features in a neat Music and Theatre section, while the sale closes with a racy Mata Hari wartime letter and two lots relating to Nelson and Trafalgar.
