Copertina rigida. Condition: Buono. Prima edizione italiana. 684 p. ; 22 x 17 cm. Studi politici, 10. Scrive Franz Borkenau di questo suo libro: «Credo che il presente volume rappresenti il primo tentativo di scrivere una storia coerente della politica comunista durante il periodo del Fronte popolare in Francia e durante la Seconda Guerra mondiale». (Egli firmava il suo lavoro nell'agosto 1951). E più oltre: « Per quanto concerne le fonti comuniste, il loro uso è necessario per illustrare, passo passo, i mutamenti nella linea del Partito. Ma l'utilità della letteratura comunista posteriore al 1935 è strettamente limitata a questo soltanto ». Ancora, citando Borkenau: « La difficoltà maggiore che si presenta a chiunque si accinga a scrivere un'opera sui problemi del comunismo, è l'atteggiamento da assumere nei confronti dei comunisti stessi; non parlo, si badi bene, di atteggiamento nei confronti del comunismo, che, nel mio caso, è di totale rifiuto. Ma vi sono due questioni da risolvere: fino a che punto lo studioso dei problemi comunisti deve tener conto della versione comunista della storia comunista, e fino a che punto deve cercare di convincere i comunisti del suo punto di vista?». Altro criterio di metodo seguito dal Borkenau: « Tutte le mie fonti principali sono a stampa. Molto raramente, soprattutto per la caratterizzazione di persone che io stesso ho conosciuto, mi sono affidato alla mia esperienza personale ». Titolo originale: «European Communism». Traduzione di Luisa La Malfa. A cura di Salvatore Francesco Romano. Legatura editoriale, coperta in cartone rigido con titolo impresso in nero al piatto e al dorso. Sovraccoperta a colori in carta patinata lucida. Qualche segnio del tempo alla coperta e ai profili della sopraccoperta.

[12], 1-1037, [2] pages. Hardcover: H 22.25cm x L 15.25cm. Full dark red leather binding; vibrant gilt floral stamping to front and rear boards; spine decorated with four raised bands with vibrant gilt stamping to compartments. All edges gilt.

First published in May 1936, GONE WITH THE WIND achieved unexpected bestseller status and usurped William Faulkner's ABSALOM, ABSALOM! for the 1937 Pulitzer Prize. The equally iconic movie adaptation by Selznick International Pictures starring Clark Gable as Rhett Butler and Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara was released in December 1939 and won eight Academy Awards and further reinforced romantic notions of aristocratic Georgians battling the indignities and turmoil inflicted by Union troops and carpetbag Yankees during the Civil War and Reconstruction.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 49 pp; 40 plates; 123 illus. Original stiff wrappers. Near Fine. 'While New York merchant Milton Weil was far less rich than J. Pierpont Morgan, the Museum's greatest benefactor, Weil had the good sense to specialize. It was he who founded the twentieth century's most important collection of cameos. Weil's treasures became the foundation of the Museum's holdings. At Weil's death in 1934, his obituary in the Herald Tribune announced: 'Milton Weil, 59, Cameo Expert, Financer, Dies.' The subheads 'Had Stock Exchange Seat' and 'Sold it within Two Years at Profit of $125,000' were followed by a quote from Weil: ' 'And that,' he told his friends after retiring to pursue his hobby, 'is a lot of cameos' ' (James David Draper, 'Cameo Appearances', Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History Essays, Met Museum Web site, August 2008). 'So precociously brilliant was his mind that while at the Gymnasium, at fourteen, he was permitted to attend seminars on the history of art at the University of Vienna. He obtained his Ph.D. in History of Art at the age of twenty-two and soon afterwards was appointed a Curator at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. His numerous publications in that field are highly regarded by specialists, and his book The Art of Gem Engraving During the Italian Renaissance remains a standard work on the subject. His reputation was such that in 1929 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City invited him to study the Milton Weil Collection of Postclassical Cameos and to write the catalogue for it' (Rudolph Loewenstein, 'Ernst Kris, Ph.D-1900-1957', Bulletin of the American Psychoanalytical Association, 13, pp. 741-743, 1957).…

In-8° (cm. 24 ca.), pp. 14 (da p. 119 a p. 132). Brossura provvisoria riproducente una cop. delle rivista (dtata incongrua). PAN, divinità nno olimpica, ma terrestre, il dio Silvano, cui eran sacre le cime dei monti, la cui figura l'era crisìtiana attribuì a Satana. Legato in modo viscerale alla natura ed ai piaceri della carne, Pan è l'unico dio con un mito sulla sua morte. Plutarco, nel suo De defectu oraculorum, racconta infatti che, durante il regno dell'imperatore romano Tiberio (14-37), la notizia della morte di Pan venne rivelata a tale Tamo (Thamus), un mercante fenicio, ma la lezione è ingannevole e più che controversa (wiki).
