Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Count Pietro Gamba (1801-27) was the brother of Teresa Guiccioli, Lord Byron's mistress, and a member of the Italian revolutionaries known as the Carbonari. He accompanied Byron on his mission to Greece in 1823, and was described by the poet as 'one of the most amiable, brave, and excellent young men' he had ever encountered, 'with a thirst for knowledge, and a disinterestedness rarely to be met with'. This account of the mission, and of Byron's death and the subsequent controversies over its cause and the disposal of the body, was published in 1825, and dedicated to Byron's close friend, John Cam Hobhouse. It was based on Gamba's diary, 'containing a minute account of all the events of the day . My only object is to give a simple narrative of what Lord Byron did in Greece'. Gamba died of typhoid in 1827, still working for Greek independence.

FIRST EDITION, half-title; preliminary leaves lightly foxed, 2 folding facsimile letters, these with neat repairs to the inner margins and fold creases; pp. xii, 307, [1], 8vo; uncut in original cloth backed boards, spine sunned and rather worn with patchy loss to the label; book label of the journalist and travel writer H. V. Morton (offset to flyleaf). Memoir of the final exploits and premature demise of Lord Byron, by his companion, the revolutionary Pietro Gamba (1801-27). Gamba was the brother of Byron's lover Theresa, Countess Guiccioli, and although initially opposed to Byron's involvement with his married sister, he was ultimately charmed. He accompanied Byron as secretary on his second expedition to Greece, and was present at his death in April 1824. Of the profusion of memoirs that appeared, Gamba's Narrative was regarded by Leslie Marchand as the most accurate. It covers the time between Byron's departure from Genoa until his death, and the posthumous disputes surrounding the cause of death and disposal of his body. Although predictably worshipful, it is based on correspondence and first hand observation, and is dedicated to John Cam Hobhouse who, in a letter to John Murray, indicated that the memoir was translated by 'my friend Mr William Petre', under his supervision. At the time both Gamba and Hobhouse were both associated with the London Greek Committee. (Wise 'Byron' II, p.87).
