Condition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2012). (1883) 2012 new edition. 8vo (160 x 241mm). Ppxxx,207. Not illustrated. Grey cloth, spine & upper board titled in black, tipped-on illustration. Slightly bumped but a fine new copy. Issued without a dust-wrapper. Jefferies' nature essays about the wildlife of London's fringe, written for The Standard newspaper. Jefferies specifically avoids naming specific places, it would be a good exercise to try to identify them now. Chapters include: Woodlands; Footpaths; Flocks of birds; Nightingale Road; A brook; A London trout; A barn; Wheatfields; The Crown; Heathlands; The river; Nutty Autumn; Round a London copse; Magpie fields; Herbs; Trees about town; To Brighton; The Southdown shepherd; The breeze on Beachyhead. "Nature Near London is a collection of observational pieces from locations near London at the end of the 19th Century. The depth of knowledge and of familiarity with particular places and particular species gives the impression that each small piece is the product of many years of observation. His style of observation is a work in miniature - cataloguing the most minute details; the dancing of a flower in the wind or the darting of a cautious trout. The chapters centre on a special place, a certain species, geographical feature or habitat - everything from orchards and copses to rivers and streams. Jefferies always explains the typical behaviour of whatever he is describing, and often contrasts what he sees with what one would expect to see in another part of the country, or in a different season. His knowledge of flowers is wide-ranging, and his ability to describe one particular patch of a field in such a specific way brings tremendous variety to the chapters that make up the book. The final chapters are a departure - both from the character of the rest of the book, and from London itself, as Jefferies boards the train to Brighton. Suddenly he is describing people and their relationship to nature, as much as nature itself. The scope widens, less a work in miniature, more surging towards a triumphant end as Jefferies becomes ever more philosophical. 100 years on, the book becomes even more relevant than when it was published - as a reminder of the dangers of unrelenting urbanisation, but also the context of the trend that aims to recreate nature where we need it most - around our cities. Nature near London is a portrait of what we've lost, and a reminder of nature's positive and calming influence. Going along with Jefferies is like taking an afternoon stroll out of the city, without having to leave your armchair." Published as part of Collins Nature Library series - re-issues of important natural history works chosen and introduced by Robert Macfarlane. PREVIOUS PRICE GBP 20.00. …

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. xx-[21]-255 pages with frontispiece, plates and appendix. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's orange cloth with black labels to spine and gilt lettering to spine and cover in original publisher's pictorial jacket. Edited by Maurice Malingue. Translated by Henry J Stenning. First edition. As both art and history and enduring legend have shown, Gauguin's life in the South Seas was anything but ecstatic or peaceful, even as he created some of the most revolutionary and iconic objects of his time. This book, to date the most comprehensive volume of the painter's letters to be published in English, offers an uncensored glimpse into Gauguin's life, from his days as a young newlywed reporting on the birth of his first child, through his early developments as an artist, and finally throughout the extraordinary adventure of his years in Tahiti and the Marquesas. Gauguin's writings, from Noa Noa to his Intimate Journals, show him to be a talented, uninhibited literary stylist, as far ahead of his time in words as he was on canvas. Nowhere is this more evident than in these letters to many of his closest associates and, above all, to his wife Mette, for whom he detailed his plans, described artworks in progress, and gave running accounts of his life and states of mind on distant shores. Now back in print after many years, Letters to His Wife and Friends remains one of the most revealing epistolary autobiographies ever assembled.
