Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - La publication de la Dissertation sur les causes de l'universalité de la langue françoise de Johann Christoph Schwab (1784), traduction et appendices de Denis Robelot (1803), permet de redécouvrir un ouvrage qui, au-delà de sa richesse linguistique et culturelle, est aussi un document historique. Le texte et sa traduction se rattachent à deux moments décisifs de l'histoire de deux pays voisins: l'Allemagne des années 1780, qui recherche son identité politique et intellectuelle à l'ombre de la France de Louis XIV et de Voltaire, et la France d'entre deux siècles, convalescente mais avide de se rétablir et de retrouver la grandeur d'un passé légendaire. A la différence de ce que croit la tradition, c'était l'ouvrage de Schwab, et non celui d'Antoine de Rivarol, qui, initialement, a été primé par le jury du concours de l'Académie des Sciences et des Belles-Lettres de Berlin (1782/1784). En outre, malgré son estime pour la France, Schwab a prévu et expliqué d'avance le triomphe de la langue anglaise que l'on connaît aujourd'hui. L'ample étude de Freeman Henry qui précède les textes est une mise au point qui permet au lecteur d'interpréter événements et concepts à la lumière des valeurs politico-culturelles d'une époque cruciale.

Original British quad poster for the 1957 British film noir A low budget British film noir that brought Rod Steiger across the ocean in order to put his formidable character acting skills into what became a critically praised film. Shot in Spain (but represented as Mexico), "Across the Bridge" expands on Graham Greene's short story, bringing more specifics to the author's intentionally empirical outline. Steiger plays a crooked businessman on the run who steals a man's passport in order to hide out in Mexico, only to discover that the passport belongs to a wanted political assassin. 30 x 40 inches.

First edition, first impression, of this memoir, which went through four impressions in one year. In early 1940, the authors enlisted with the French army as ambulance drivers, leaving Paris only a couple of days before it fell to the Germans. They chronicle the generalized panic and chaos and the retreat to Perigueux, an emerging centre of resistance efforts. Trained as an art historian, Douglas Cooper (1911-1984) spent the rest of the war serving in the RAF as an intelligence analyst and interrogator. "From 1944 to 1946 he was deputy director of the monuments and fine arts branch of the Allied Control Commission for Germany, helping to identify, protect, and repatriate works of art. It was in 1949, while on holiday with Lord Amulree and an art historian, John Richardson, that Cooper discovered and subsequently purchased the dilapidated Château de Castille in Argilliers, Gard. That grand eighteenth-century house, filled with Cooper's impressive collection and animated by his own colourful and controversial personality, became a popular end to a pilgrimage for members of the art world. Léger was among the first house guests; Picasso was a neighbour in the south of France and a frequent visitor" (ODNB). Cooper's co-author was a BBC journalist and radio producer. Octavo. Illustrations by Edward Ardizzone in text. Original tan cloth, spine lettered in red, map endpapers. With dust jacket. Edges dusty; jacket unclipped, lightly soiled, couple of short closed tears, a few nicks: a fine copy in very good jacket.
