Blue Cloth Hardback. Condition: Very Good -. Peter Fraser (illustrator). First Edition. 1936. First edition. 318pp. and 16 black and white illustrations by Peter Fraser, including a map of the Shetland Isles showing incidents in the book. The author of this book was a native, and lover, of Shetland. His aim in this book has been to present a "Saga" descriptive of the Isles in a series of pictures, placed roughly in chronological order, of notable periods or epochs of Shetland's absorbing and astonishing history. He starts from the earliest times and brings his story down to the crofter of the 1930s. It includes accounts of the coming of the Norseman and Vikings; the settlement of the islands; the time of the Spanish Armada; the great Dutch fishery; the troubled periods of Patrick Stewart; piracy and the press-gang; whale fishing; and the development of the fishing centre of Lerwick. The book is bound in the original blue cloth covered boards with gold titling (dulled) on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling on the boards. There is uneven sunning to the spine and the rear board. Light to moderate foxing to edges. No inscriptions. Signed by the author.

Condition: Gut. p. 119-137. De la bibliothèque du professeur Wolfgang Haase, éditeur de longue date de l'ANRW et de l'International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Avec dédicace de l'auteur. - Exemplaire avec des oreilles d'âne, nom de l'auteur souligné sur la couverture, sinon propre. - Du texte: ĞNous ne sommes pas seulement partis vers le sud, sous les flèches du soleil de la mer intérieure. Nous avons aussi et surtout balayé lOcéan, au large des glaciers couverts de neige et de File de Thulé où les nuits dété étaient si claires quil était possible de travailler et même de trouver des poux dans sa chemise. Nous navons pas été les premiers à naviguer vers louest, vers le soleil couchant. On racontait quun moine irlandais, saint Brendan, avait parcouru pendant sept ans, au bord de son curragh, locéan Atlantique et quil avait fêté Pâques sur le dos dune baleine où il resta quatorze jours parce quil lavait prise pour une îleğ. Près de 2000 ans séparent ces textes qui évoquent tous deux Thulé, la dernière des terres, au-delà de laquelle commence linconnu. Et entre eux, que dallusions, que de références, que de recherches effectuées à propos de celle-ci durant le Moyen Age, la Renaissance et les siècles ultérieurs. Plusieurs questions viennent dès lors à l'esprit: pourquoi le nom de Thulé est-il devenu un ĞSammelnameğ, cest-à-dire Ğun nom sur lequel vinrent se rassembler les données ou informations concernant tout ce qui, en direction du nord, pouvait être atteint ou observé de plus éloigné, autrement dit dultimeğ? pourquoi poursuivit-il dans le royaume des allégories une carrière qui nen finit pas? - Wikipedia: Monique Mund-Dopchie est une philologue classique et historienne de la littérature belge née à Renaix le 21 août 1943.
