Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. In-8° relié, demi-chagrin en parfait état, plats et dos conservés. Roman. Le personnage de Goha, garçon naïf et ignorant, fait partie, sous différents noms, de la tradition orale de toutes les communautés juives de Méditerranée. "Cet être qui n'a pas d'équivalent dans toute la littérature, cet idiot ( ) est pour ceux qui cherchent , pour ceux qui pensent, une lumière une lumière parce que, à travers ses gestes et ses mots comiques ou tristes, il nous découvre son âme, notre âme à tous, il nous la fait toucher du doigt" (Préface). "Au fil de l'histoire de Goha le simple, l'homme au coeur d'enfant, ce qui nous est conté c'est aussi la vie du petit peuple d'Egypte au temps où presque personne n'allait plus vite que le pas de l'âne ou du chameau, mais l'âme de l'Orient n'a guère changé et ce récit plein d'enchantements garde encore sa vérité" (Présentation à l'édition du "Livre de Poche"). L'ouvrage a été classé deuxième lors des délibérations du Prix Goncourt 1919, derrière "L'ombre des jeunes filles en pleurs" de Marcel Proust. Il a été traduit en sept langues, adapté à la scène en 1939 et porté au cinéma en 1958 par Jacques Baratier, avec deux jeunes acteurs, Omar Sharif et Claudia Cardinale, film qui fut primé au Festival de Cannes. Le préfacier écrit que les auteurs sont Egyptiens. En fait ils sont tous deux juifs francophones et seul Adès est Egyptien, Josipovici étant d'origine roumaine. Albert Adès (1893-1921) est né au Caire, Albert Josipovici (1892-1932) à Constantinople, d'un père roumain installé en Egypte. Josipovici effectue sa scolarité à Melun et ses études de Droit à Paris. Il rentre au Caire en 1913 et il rencontre la même année à Héliopolis Albert Adès, son père étant le médecin de famille de ce dernier. Adès est fortement imprégné de culture française par sa mère et a également terminé ses études de Droit à Paris. Ils écrivent ensemble, sous pseudonyme, un premier roman sur la vie quotidienne des Egyptiens, "Les Inquiets", qui paraît chez Calmann-Lévy en 1914. Par la suite, ils épousent deux soeurs mais écrivent chacun de leur côté. Egypte.

''Dieu, ou plutôt Allah, sait quel djinn a jeté un sort à Mahmoud pour l?empêcher d?avoir un héritier à qui léguer sa prospère entreprise de céramique. Il a cependant eu pas moins de douze filles qui contribuent à égayer sa demeure et si son unique fils, Goha, a grandi en force et en beauté, son intelligence est restée naine. Ainsi Goha est-il à vingt-cinq ans une figure légendaire du Caire à cause de sa simplicité d?esprit. Sur son compte courent des histoires d?une drôlerie irrésistible et lui-même rit, sans comprendre, avec les rieurs. Pour créer leur personnage de Goha, les auteurs puisèrent dans les histoires de l?inénarrable Nasr Eddin Hodja.'' Belle condition.

Wraps. Sullivan, Amir Ray Abdul Bulbul (illustrator). Presumed first edition/first printing. Includes illustrations. Unpaginated [36 pages. ] Cover title 50 and one Jests of Goha. From Wikipedia: "William Alfred "Bill" Eddy, Ph.D., Col., USMC (March 9, 1896 May 3, 1962) was a U.S. minister to Saudi Arabia (1944 1946), university professor and college president (1936 42), and United States Marine Corps officer serving in World War I and World War II, and U.S. intelligence officer. After serving in World War I, Eddy had an academic career as a literary scholar and professor of English, at Dartmouth College and the American University in Cairo. He was later president of both Hobart College and William Smith College (1936 42). Dr. Eddy returned to military service just before the start of World War II, serving as an intelligence officer. From 1943 to 1945, he was the U.S. Minister to Saudi Arabia, a consultant for the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco) and an instrumental figure in the development of the United States' relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. He was a key figure in the formation of the CIA. In 2008 Arabian Knight: Colonel Bill Eddy USMC and the Rise of American Power in the Middle East, the first biography on Bill Eddy, was published by Selwa Press. It is written by the Middle East specialist, author and Washington Post journalist Thomas Lippman. Wiliam Alfred Eddy was born in 1896 in the city of Sidon, at the time a part of Syria, now in Lebanon. His parents, William King Eddy and Elizabeth Mills (Nelson) Eddy, were Presbyterian missionaries from the United States. Eddy grew up speaking both English at home and in school and Arabic on the streets with his friends. He stayed in the Middle East until high school and then went to the College of Wooster for his college preparatory education. His overseas upbringing and firsthand knowledge of Arabic and Arab culture would play a pivotal role in his life and in American Saudi relations. Following his graduation from Princeton University in 1917 and marriage to Mary Garvin, Eddy was accepted into the United States Marine Corps on June 6, 1917 as a "temporary second lieutenant" and was a part of the first American Marines fighting in Europe in World War I, serving as an intelligence officer with the 6th Marine Regiment. During the war he fought alongside other U.S. Marines in the German Offensive of 1918 and in the Battle of Belleau Wood against German Empire troops that same year. The battle is seen as an important success for allied forces against the Germans. Eddy was seriously injured at Belleau Wood, losing one leg because of his wounds, and was sent back to the U.S. to recuperate. For his actions as a combat Marine in World War I, he received the Navy Cross, the Distinguished Service Cross, two Silver Stars, and two Purple Hearts. After his military service, Eddy taught at Peekskill Military Academy in New York. In 1922, he received his doctorate from Princeton University. His dissertation was on Gulliver's Travels. In 1923, he was appointed as the chair of the English Department at the American University in Cairo in Egypt. His wife and children found life in Egypt difficult, however, and Eddy returned to the U.S. in 1928 to accept a teaching position at Dartmouth College. In 1936, he became president of Hobart College in upstate New York. With the threat of another World War looming, Eddy returned to active duty in the United States Marine Corps at the rank of lieutenant colonel and in 1941 became the Naval Attaché and Naval Attaché for Air in Cairo. He would work with both Naval intelligence and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) for the duration of the war. Early in the war, Eddy suggested that the United States try to become closer to Saudi Arabia because of its strategic importance and because of the country's relative independence and internal stability. In December 1941, Eddy was redeployed as Naval Attaché to Tangier, Morocco in order to try to help secure areas of North Africa under threat by the Ge.
