First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Ken Burns, Langdon Clay,Jerome Liebling (illustrator). 1st Edition. This wonderful book about the shakers and their life style. To quote 91 year old Eldress Bertha Lindsay, at the time of this writing, " We are simple people who believe in Christ. Like all good Christians everywhere, if we live by his teachings we are good people and good Shakers.The physical aspects of Shakerism may disappear, but the life of dedication will always be here, and the principles of Shakerism will go on forever." Canterbury, New hampshire 1986. This book is beautifully photographed and tries to explain the mysteries that make up the Shaker philosophy of diligence, unity in work and the perfection in simplicity. It is a biography of a group of people using their own words and their own histories. " Are you free as you are? Are you in any degree bound by your appetites, your passions, your self-will? Are you at all in bondage to the opinion of your neighbors and notions of society, however harmful or absurd? These do not trammel( impeded or deter) the true Shaker" Eldress Anna White, 1904 Book is in fine condition quarter bound in blue cloth over boards with gilt spine lettering. There is slight rubbing at the extremities. The priced (40.00) jacket is near fine with wear to the extremities. This is not only a beautiful book but a very iteresting read. Size: 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall.

Originalhalbleinen; Umschlag. Condition: Gut. 127 S.; sehr zahlr. Illustr.; 26 cm. Gutes Ex.; Umschl. etwas berieben. - Englisch. // Die Shaker (engl. für Schüttler') sind eine christliche Freikirche in den USA, die aus dem Quäkertum hervorgegangen ist. Ihr Name leitet sich von dem rituellen Schütteltanz her, der bei ihnen als eine Form der Verehrung Gottes gilt, und ist eine Zusammenziehung aus Shaking Quakers. . // They called themselves the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, but because of their ecstatic dancing, the world called them Shakers. The Shakers were celibate, they did not marry or bear children, yet they are the most enduring religious experiment in American history. Seventy-five years before the emancipation of the slaves, and 150 years before women began voting in America, the Shakers were practicing social, economic, and spiritual equality for all members. They believed in pacifism and feminism, freedom from prejudice, natural health and hygiene, and joyful personal worship. At their height in 1840, more than 6,000 believers lived in nineteen communal villages from New England to Ohio and Kentucky. Tales of their peaceful and prosperous lives impressed the world's Utopians. But Shaker aspirations were divine, not social or material. As millennialists, they were unified in the belief that Christ had come again, first in the person of Mother Ann, their founder, and subsequently "in all in whom the Christ consciousness awakens. " It was therefore the duty of each believer to live purely "in the kingdom of heaven on earth," and to strive for perfection in everything they did. Today, fewer than a dozen Shakers still live in two two- hundred year old villages in New Hampshire and Maine. Although their numbers have dwindled, their importance has not, and the longing to understand these mysterious people is greater than ever. For two hundred years, the Shakers have put their hands to work and their hearts to God. In their buildings, their furniture, their stone walls, in the turn of a wooden peg, the Shakers' striving for simplicity and perfection is plainly stated.
