8° , Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Gut. 272 S. Gebraucht: SU. leicht berieben, Papier gebräunt, ansonsten guter und sauberer Zustand. In a plain meetinghouse, a woman stands before her judges. The accusers, girls and young women, are fervent, overexcited, just on the edge of breaking out into convulsions. The accused is a poor, unpopular woman who had her first child before she was married. As the trial proceeds, the girls begin to wail, tear their clothing, and scream that the woman is hurting them. Some of them expose wounds to the horrified onlookers, holding out the pins that have stabbed them -- pins that have appeared as if by magic. Are the girls acting, or are they really tormented by an unseen evil? Whatever the cause, the nightmare in Salem has begun: The witch trials will eventually claim twenty-five lives, shatter the community, and forever shape the American social conscience.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [a good sound clean copy, but both endpapers are of a 2-ply construction, and the two layers of the front endpaper are separating, plus there is some staining around the edges of both endpapers; the jacket is lightly edge- and surface-worn, with a tiny tear at the lower rear foldover and an associated horizontal along the bottom edge of the rear panel]. (color photographs and facsimiles) An elaborate catalogue produced in conjunction with an exhibition of the Serge Lifar Collection at the Wadsworth Atheneum and two venues in Japan during 1997 and 1998. Lifar, "the last great protégé of famed Russian ballet producer Serge Diaghilev, collected paintings, set designs, and costume designs from Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and from his own later productions at the Paris Opéra," and sold his collection to the Wadsworth Antheneum in 1933 (in order to be able to pay for the return tickets for his troupe after a financially disastrous U.S. tour) for the then-outrageous sum of $10,000 -- which in retrospect seems an incredible bargain for what is regarded as "unrivaled as a comprehensive documentation of the Ballets Russes." In addition to reproducing the 188 works of art and the 32 costumes that comprise the collection, this volume "provides notes about each production and the corresponding items in the collection, as well as a new assessment of the immediate impact and lasting influence" of this renowned ballet company. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this large and heavy volumes; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.…

Per Wikipedia, Baroness Bertha Sophie Felicitas Von Suttner (1843 - 1914) Was A Bohemian Noblewoman, Pacifist And Novelist. In 1905, She Became The Second Female Nobel Laureate (After Marie Curie In 1903),[2] The First Woman To Be Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize, And The First Austrian And Czech Laureate. Her Parents Were The Austrian Lieutenant General (German: Feldmarschall-Leutnant) Franz Michael De Paula Josef Graf Kinsky Von Wchinitz Und Tettau (1769-1843), Who Died At The Age Of 75 Before Bertha Was Born. Soon After Bertha's Birth, Her Mother Moved To Live In Brno Near Bertha's Guardian, Landgrave Friedrich Michael Zu Fürstenberg-Taikowitz (1793-1866). In 1876, With The Encouragement Of Her Employers, She Answered A Newspaper Advertisement Which Led To Her Briefly Becoming Secretary And Housekeeper To Alfred Nobel In Paris.[20] In The Few Weeks Of Her Employment, She And Nobel Developed A Friendship, And Nobel May Have Made Romantic Overtures. However, She Returned Shortly To Vienna To Marry Arthur Von Suttner In Secretly. As A Consequence Arthur Von Suttner Was Desinherited By His Family And Lost The Title Of Freiherr. In 1889, Suttner Became A Leading Figure In The Peace Movement With The Publication Of Her Pacifist Novel, Die Waffen Nieder! (Lay Down Your Arms!), Which Made Her One Of The Leading Figures Of The Austrian Peace Movement. She Became Known Internationally As The Editor Of The International Pacifist Journal Die Waffen Nieder!, Named After Her Book, From 1892 To 1899. In 1897, She Presented Emperor Franz Joseph I Of Austria With A List Of Signatures Urging The Establishment Of An International Court Of Justice And Took Part In The First Hague Convention In 1899 With The Help Of Theodor Herzl, Who Paid For Her Trip As A Correspondent Of The Zionist Newspaper, Die Welt.Upon Her Husband's Death In 1902, Suttner Had To Sell Harmannsdorf Castle And Moved Back To Vienna. In 1904 She Addressed The International Congress Of Women In Berlin And For Seven Months Travelled Around The United States, Attending A Universal Peace Congress In Boston And Meeting President Theodore Roosevelt. Though Her Personal Contact With Alfred Nobel Had Been Brief, She Corresponded With Him Until His Death In 1896, And It Is Believed That Von Suttner Was A Major Influence On His Decision To Include A Peace Prize Among Those Prizes Provided In His Will.[33] Bertha Von Suttner Was Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize On 10 December 1905. In 1907, Von Suttner Was The Only Woman To Attend The Second Hague Peace Conference, Which Mainly Pertained To The Law Of War. Von Suttner Was Actually Highly Critical Of The 1907 Conference And Warned Of A War To Come. When She Accepted Her Nobel Peace Prize A Year Earlier, She Had Said: "(…) Whether Our Europe Will Become A Showpiece Of Ruins And Failure, Or Whether We Can Avoid This Danger And So Enter Sooner The Coming Era Of Secure Peace And Law In Which A Civilisation Of Unimagined Glory Will Develop. The Many Aspects Of This Question Are What The Second Hague Conference Should Be Discussing Rather Than The Proposed Topics Concerning The Laws And Practices Of War At Sea, The Bombardment Of Ports, Towns, And Villages, The Laying Of Mines, And So On. The Contents Of This Agenda Demonstrate That, Although The Supporters Of The Existing Structure Of Society, Which Accepts War, Come To A Peace Conference Prepared To Modify The Nature Of War, They Are Basically Trying To Keep The Present System Intact". In The Run-Up To World War I, Suttner Continued To Campaign Against International Armament. In 1911 She Became A Member Of The Advisory Council Of The Carnegie Peace Foundation.
