here, then, is what modern society can bring to each and every one of its members, by undertaking the great work of readapting cities to the needs of a new consciousness......such a transformation in the cross-section of the dwelling is a real architectural revolution. the dwelling becomes a small house. and it doesn't matter to me that there are ten of these little houses, arranged one above the other and lined up innumerably along an \"internal street\": the man has entered his home, he has closed the door. he received the shock of the architectural layout: large and then intimate, and all the sun, space and greenery that this reform made it possible to capture. i'm saying that this man will never again be the beaten dog that haunts the 'rental boxes' of our cities.......this man at home has lost all memory of the heavy tribulations that he and his family have always endured. rich or miserable, it was the absence for all of the \"essential joys\". these \"essential joys\" are brought to modern society by modern technology, inviting urban planning and poetic architecture. this is not utopia. over the last 20 years, a great deal of work has been done to define the constructive stages. here and elsewhere, by us and by others. there are already fragments - milestones, proof - of the \"la ville radieuse\"......' ). a rare manuscript of excellent content. a few minor tears and light creasing to the edges of some pages and the final page with a small area of paper loss to the lower left corner. g  \n ville radieuse (the radiant city) was an unrealised urban design project designed by le corbusier in 1930. it constitutes one of the most influential and controversial urban design doctrines of european modernism.  \n  le corbusier's essay  un homme chez lui was published in les plans de paris 1956-1922 in 1956."},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"1105","title":{"es":"le corbusier: (1887-1965) 'i place as the cornerstone of all modern urban development the sacred respect for individual freedom'"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/42190/lot/132200/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":3000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:35:46.461Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac3,000 - \u20ac4,000","currency":"EUR","id":132200,"estimateMin":3000},{"startPrice":300,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/132201/001/001.jpg"],"soldDate":"2024-03-14","available":false,"description":{"es":"costa lucio: (1902-1998) brazilian architect and urban planner. lucio costa is best known for his pilot plan of brazilia. a.l.s., ` \n lucio costa ´, one page, blue paper, 4to, 11th january 1967, to swiss editor and journalist anthony krafft, in french. costa states ` \n je vous prie de bien vouloir remettre un exemplaire de votre revue, si elle est déjà parue, à ma fille mme elisa costa sobral, 22 rue de la fontaine, paris xviº´ (translation: \u201c \n i kindly ask you to forward a copy of your magazine, if already published, to my daughter mma elisa costa sobral, 22 rue de la fontaine, paris xvith\u201d) vg"},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"1106","title":{"es":"costa lucio: (1902-1998)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/42190/lot/132201/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":300,"soldPrice":300,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:35:46.463Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac300 - \u20ac400","currency":"EUR","id":132201,"estimateMin":300},{"startPrice":100,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/132202/001/001.jpg"],"soldDate":"2024-03-14","available":false,"description":{"es":"rams dieter: (1932- ) german industrial designer associated with braun, the furniture company vitsoe and the functionalist school of industrial design. signed 10 x 8 photograph of rams seated in a full-length pose with a number of sparsely filled shelves in the background, one of which is home to a record player. signed by rams in black ink with his name alone to the base of the image. vg"},"estimateMax":120,"lotNumber":"1107","title":{"es":"rams dieter: (1932- )"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/42190/lot/132202/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":100,"soldPrice":100,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:35:46.464Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac100 - \u20ac120","currency":"EUR","id":132202,"estimateMin":100},{"startPrice":800,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/132203/001/001.jpg"],"soldDate":"2024-03-14","available":false,"description":{"es":"rousseau je an-jacques: (1712-1778) french writer and philosopher. a very fine and interesting autograph manuscript, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d.

the frog had the same mania, which went up from it to the elephant; and, in this reciprocal movement, the three animals lost: sad, but a real image of a nation abandoned to a luxury, symbol of the wealth of some, and mask of the general misery of the rest\u2019 ), as well as the corruption of the morals, the contempt for study, the disappearance of all decency being the consequences, \u2018on rampa, on s'avilit, on se prostitua dans toutes les conditions. il n'y eut plus de distinction entre les moyens d'acquerir. honnetes, malhonnetes, tous furent bons\u2019 (translation: \u2018we crawled, we debased ourselves, we prostituted ourselves in all conditions. there was no longer any distinction between the means of acquisition. honest, dishonest, all were good\u2019 ), the other then advances the argument that this luxury engenders the development of art and industry, \u2018mais ne vous rejouissez-vous pas de voir la debauche, la dissipation, le faste, ecrouler ces masses enormes d'or? c'est par ce , oyen qu'on nous restitue goutte a goutte ce sang dont nous sommes epuises. il nous revient par une foule de mains occupees. ce luxe, contre lequel vous vous recriez, n'est-ce pas lui qui soutient le ciseau dans la main du statuaire, la palette au puce du peintre, la navette?\u2019 (translation: \u2018but don't you rejoice to see debauchery, dissipation and splendour crush these huge masses of gold? it is by this means that we are given back drop by drop the blood from which we are exhausted. it comes back to us through a host of busy hands. this luxury, against which you recoil, is it not that which sustains the chisel in the hand of the statuary, the palette on the chip of the painter, the shuttle?\u2019 ), but art is nothing if not compared by virtue, and again rousseau\u2019s austerity is expressed in its purest form, \u2018oui, beaucoup d'ouvrages, et beaucoup d'ouvrages mediocres. si les moeurs sont corrompues, croyez-vous que le gout puisse reste pur? non, non, cela ne se peut; et si vous le croyez, c'est que vous ignorez l'effet de la vertu sur les beaux-arts. et que m'importent vos praxitele et vos phidas? que m'importent vos apelle? que m'importent vos poemes divins? que m'importent vos riches etoffes? si vous etes mechants, si vous etes indigents, si vous etes corrompus\u2019 (translation: \u2018yes, many works, and many mediocre works. if morals are corrupt, do you think that taste can remain pure? no, no, that cannot be; and if you believe so, it is because you are unaware of the effect of virtue on the fine arts. and what do your praxiteles and your phidas matter to me? what do i care about your apelles? what do i care about your divine poems? what do i care about your rich fabrics? if you are wicked, if you are destitute, if you are corrupt\u2019 ) and this race for wealth goes so far as to call into question the survival of mankind, \u2018o luxe funeste, enfant de la richesse! tu detruis tout, et le gout et les moeurs; tu arretes la pente la plus douce de la nature. le riche craint de multiplier ses enfants. le pauvre craint de multiplier les malheureux. les villes se depeuplent. on laisse languir sa fille dans le celibat. il faudrait sacrifier a sa dot un equipage, une table somptueuse\u2019 (translation: \u2018o fatal luxury, child of wealth! you destroy everything, both taste and morals; you stop nature's gentlest slope. the rich man fears to multiply his children. the poor fears to multiply the unfortunate. the cities are de-populated. his daughter is left to languish in celibacy. her dowry would have to be sacrificed in the form of equipment and a sumptuous table\u2019 ). shaken by such a tirade, the former again attempts conciliation, \u2018voila, sans doute, un luxe pernicieux, et contre lequel je vous permets a vous et a nos philosophes de se recrier. mais n'en est-il pas un autre qui se concilierait avec les moeurs, la richesse, l'aisance, la splendeur et la force d'une nation?\u2019 (translation: \u2018this is undoubtedly a pernicious luxury, and one against which i allow you and our philosophers to protest. but is there not another that would be compatible with the morals, wealth, ease, splendour and strength of a nation?\u2019 ) and the other pays lip service to it, and launches into an eulogy of agriculture, the basis of everything, via his goddess ceres, and consequently into a social demand for the fate of peasants, \u2018ceres, les peintres, les poetes, les statuaires, les tapisseries, les porcelaines, et ces magots meme, gout ridicule, peuvent s'elever d'entre tes epis. maitres des nations, tendez la main a ceres; relevez ses autels. ceres est la mere commune de tout. maitres des nations, faites que vos campagnes soient fertiles; soulagez l'agriculteur du poids qui l'ecrase. que celui qui vous nourrit puisse vivre; que celui qui donne du lait a vos enfants ait du pain; que celui qui vous vetit ne soit pas nu\u2019 (translation: \u2018ceres, painters, poets, statues, tapestries, porcelain, and even these magots, ridiculous taste, can rise from your ears. masters of nations, extend your hand to ceres; raise up her altars. ceres is the common mother of all. masters of nations, make your countryside fertile; relieve the farmer of the burden that crushes him. let him who feeds you live; let him who gives milk to your children have bread; let him who calves you not be naked\u2019 ). at the conclusion of the text he sketches out a possible synthesis in which luxury and virtue could be reconciled, \u2018ce luxe sera le signe d'une opulence generale, et non le masque d'une misere commune. maitres des nations, otez a l'or son caractere representatif de tout merite. abolissez la venalite des charges. que celui qui a de l'or puisse avoir des palais, des jardins, des tableaux, des statutes, des vins delicieux, de belles femmes; mais qu'il ne puisse pretendre sans merite a aucune fonction honorable dans l'etat; et vous aurez des citoyens eclaires, des sujets vertueux\u2019 (translation: \u2018this luxury will be the sign of a general opulence, and not the mask of a common misery. masters of nations, strip gold of its representative character of all merit. abolish the venality of charges. let him who has gold be able to have palaces, gardens, paintings, statutes, delicious wines, beautiful women; but let him not be able to pretend without merit to any honourable office in the state; and you will have enlightened citizens, virtuous subjects\u2019 ). diderot concludes on a pessimistic note, \u2018ou irai-je donc? ou trouverai-je un etat de bonheir constant? ici, un luxe qui masque la misere; la, un luxe qui, ne de l'abondance, ne produit qu'une felicite passagere. ou faut-il que je naisse ou que je vive? ou est la demeure qui me promette et a ma posterite un bonheur durable?\u2019 (translation: \u2018where will i go? where will i find a constant state of happiness? here, a luxury that masks misery; there, a luxury which, lacking abundance, produces only temporary happiness. or must i be born or live? where is the home that promises me and my posterity lasting happiness?\u2019 ), and the first dismisses posterity, with resigned fatalism, as a preoccupation, \u2018vous etes un insense. vous voyez trop loin. qu'etiez-vous il ya quatre siecles pour vos aieux? rien. regardez avec le meme oeil des etres a venir qui sont a la meme distance de vous. soyez heureux. vos arriere-neveux deviendront ce qu'il plaira au destin, qui dispose de tout. dans l'empire, le ciel suscite un maitre qui amende ou qui detruit; dans le cycle des races, un descendant qui releve ou qui renverse. voila l'arret immuable de la nature. soumettez-vous-y\u2019 (translation: \u2018you're insane. you see too far. what were you four centuries ago to your ancestors? i was nothing. look with the same eye at future beings who are at the same distance from you. be happy. your great-nephews will become what it pleases fate, which disposes of everything. in the empire, heaven raises up a master who amends or destroys; in the cycle of races, a descendant who raises up or overthrows. this is the immutable decree of nature. submit to it\u2019 ). manuscripts of such important 18 th century texts are of exceptional rarity and seldom appear on the market. some light age wear and a couple of small, holes caused by dark singing to some pages, only very slightly affecting a few words of text. about vg \n  \n diderot\u2019s rich manuscript raises a number of important moral, political and philosophical issues around the question of luxury. a pre-revolutionary critique of 18 th century society takes shape, with the austere, spartan, accusatory figure of the man who condemns luxury, exposing the social injustice it covers up, and also condemning the corruption of morals and gallantry.  \n  \n the second character is more voltairean. while admitting its excesses, he does not reject civilisation and its benefits outright. he can\u2019t bring himself to accept art as nothing, even if it is, in the final analysis, the fruit of corruption.  \n  \n part of the text\u2019s strength lies in its ambiguity. it\u2019s not easy to decide which side diderot is on. neither character is a direct spokesman for him, and diderot himself seems to sway between the two positions."},"estimateMax":30000,"lotNumber":"1112","title":{"es":"diderot denis: (1713-1784)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/42190/lot/132207/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":20000,"soldPrice":19000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:35:48.621Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac20,000 - \u20ac30,000","currency":"EUR","id":132207,"estimateMin":20000},{"startPrice":2000,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/132208/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/132208/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/132208/003/003.jpg"],"soldDate":"2024-03-14","available":false,"description":{"es":"sade marquis de: (1740-1814) donatien alphonse françois de sade. french writer, nobleman and revolutionary politician. best-known for his erotic works and sexual fantasies with violence and lack of morality. author of \n the 120 days of sodom . sade spent thirty-two years of his life imprisoned and most of his works were written while incarcerated. the word sadism was coined from his name. rare and lengthy a.l.s., \n `sade´, two pages, small 4to, n.p., n.d.

the one where my enemies are rallying everywhere, more numerous and fiercer than ever, where they are snarling relentlessly and with all hands hatching a network of hatred and slander around me, the moment when i am placed alone between two equally furious animosities, the power that persecutes me, and this determined cabal that has taken up posts in almost all the newspapers. ah! charles! in a moment like this i had the right at least to count on your silence. or did i do something to you?

monte sur le coursier aile pour interroger le ciel sur les destinees de la terre, il depouille sa personnalite reelle, il oublie son propre nom, il se spiritualise, il est le penseur et le poete, il exerce son sacerdoce, il joue son role, il rompt avec l'usage, il meprise le bon ton, il depasse le bon gout. il use de son droit qui est de monter autant qu'une pensee peut monter au-dessus d'une

pour les infames qui tentaient de detruire paris apres l'avoir deshonore......  son esprit a eu une defaillance de lumiere, les etoiles en ont bien!......c'est que je le place plus haut que vous, les

tiendra bien peu de compte de ce qui offense les delicats d'aujourd'hui. ce sera encore un livre de vie pour les jeunes; les traces de nos malheurs seront effacees, nos ruines seront ensevelies dans des oeuvres de renaissance, nos drames d'un jour seront contemples comme des reves et racontes comme des legendes; nos monceaux de livres seront juges, oublies pour la plupart, un nom restera eclatant, attache a la robe funebre du xix siecle comme une etoile au manteau de la nuit et ce nom ce sera celui de l'auteur de l'annee terrible\u2019 (translation: \u2018here is a sublime poet, the poet of france. he is truly the voice of the party, and that is why in speaking of him we feel that we are addressing france itself of which he is the soul and the expression, the terrible heartbreak, the sovereign organ\u2026\u2026i feel for him something more than admiration, i feel that i love him\u2026..when the poet without rival today mounts the winged steed to question heaven about the destinies of earth, he strips away his real personality, he forgets his own name, he spiritualises himself, he is the thinker and the poet, he exercises his priesthood, he plays his role, he breaks with custom, he despises good tone, he goes beyond good taste, he uses his right which is to rise as far as a thought can rise above a situation, an aspiration above a fact, a will above an obstacle\u2026..he has the sacred delirium of the pythonis, it rises to the manifestation of the spirit released from everything that weighs on us. he takes a place of which no one can be jealous, since no one would have dared to take it, and that no one can challenge him since he alone can occupy it\u2026\u2026.having said this once and for all and this divine pride accepted as a pretension, not legitimate in the poet in general but legitimate in this one, let us see if the lucidity is to be the height of the emotion and if this inspired seer, who seems to pierce the unknown, has the clear vision of the known things\u2026\u2026yes and no. yes, from the point of view of eternal philosophy; from the immediately historical point of view, no\u2026\u2026his true name would be the passionate one, because everything is passion with him: hatred and love, gentleness and anger, indignation and pity; his visual organ is made of passion like his intellectual sense; his mind has the faculty of expanding to the point of embracing the universe in a gigantic embrace, and from then on everything expands and becomes colossal in his appreciation\u2026\u2026of a fly he makes a monster, of an ant an elephant\u2026..there is a third voice that the genius of the antithesis has not deigned to hear: it is the right voice\u2026\u2026when in spite of oneself we remain standing between the two corpses, should we treat one as a martyr and the other as a murderer? they slit each other\u2019s throats, both martyrs or both assassins, there is no need to say\u2026\u2026he did not with his usual energy denounce the leaders and members of this band; he was content to say that he did not approve of them\u2026\u2026he only had cries of anger against the repression and cries of pity only for the infamous people who tried to destroy paris after having dishonoured\u2026\u2026.his spirit had a failure of light, the stars certainly did!......that\u2019s because i place him higher than you, the friends of his literary glory, would think of placing him. as long as he sings, you are delighted, and he wants to be something that i grant him with all my soul. he wants to be the thinker of the century. he is, i told you, he is the voice of the homeland, he sums up in himself all its history, he undergoes all the intoxications and all the tortures, all the heartbreaks and all the aspirations\u2026.he saw things in a big way, sometimes in a big way, never in a small way. but what he saw, no one saw like him. he saw very far ahead of him, and he spoke sovereign truths that nothing can destroy\u2026..centuries will pass over our despairs and hope will still flourish in the world. so we will read this poet and we will take very little account of what offends today\u2019s delicate people. it will still be a book of life for young people; the traces of our misfortunes will be erased, our ruins will be buried in works of rebirth, our one-day dramas will be contemplated like dreams and told like legends; our heaps of books will be judged, forgotten for the most part, a name will remain dazzling, attached to the funeral dress of the 19 th century like a star to the mantle of night and this name will be that of the author of l\u2019annee terrible\u2019 ). a manuscript of fascinating and wide-ranging content in which sand displays her admiration for the genius of hugo as a poet, brushing aside criticisms that have been made of his personality and preferring to concentrate on the immense stature of the writer, nevertheless daring to examine the lucidity of his political judgement, where disagreements are bluntly expressed as she criticises hugo for not having castigated versailles and communards equally ( \u2018should we treat one as a martyr and the other as a murderer?\u2019 ), although ultimately concluding by offering her praise of hugo with beautiful lyricism. written to the rectos of the pages only, a number of the bifoliums are neatly stitched together. some very light, extremely minor age wear, generally vg \n  \n hugo\u2019s series of poems l'annee terrible (1872) would be his penultimate major poetic collection. the works deal with the franco-prussian war, the trauma of his losing his son charles, and with the paris commune. covering the period from august 1870 to july 1871, a group of poems encapsulates each month, blending hugo\u2019s anguish over personal tragedies with his despair at the predicament of france.  \n  \n the relationship between sand and hugo, two of the outstanding literary figures of the 19 th century, was of a particular character; indeed they never met and only first came into direct contact, by letter, in 1855. they had differing political views (sand condemned in harsh terms the paris commune) but nevertheless their relationship evolved during their lifetimes and are quick to support and defend each other as soon as one is attacked. in 1876 it was hugo who delivered the famous funeral eulogy of sand, \u2018i mourn a dead woman, i salute an immortal\u2026..\u2019"},"estimateMax":30000,"lotNumber":"1124","title":{"es":"sand george:

dissertation on the theme of jenny de vasson's book, through which yourcenar approaches many aspects of the human personality, referring to multiple main figures of the literature of all times, to the role of the woman in different periods, and stating in part ` le livre de jenny de vasson est depuis juin dernier sur ma table, je l´ai lu et relu et abondamment annoté... rien de plus enrichissant qu´un tel recueil. une femme que nous aurions pu connaitre durant notre adolescence, que nous avions peut-être coudoyée dans quelque rue de paris en 1918 ou 1919, mais dont nous ne savions rien, pas même le nom, devient tout à coup une amie et nous prouve une fois de plus combien grandes et variées sont ces richesses secrètes des êtres qui presque jamais n´affleurent à la surface.... elle nous touche là même où ses opinions diffèrent en tout des notres. ses vues sur la femme et sur l´amour nous scandalisent presque parce qu´elles sont à l´opposé de ce que nous tenons désormais pour naturel et raisonnable; mais j´avoue que sa ferme adhésion à ce qui nous semble des préjugés m´a fait réfléchir à nos préjugés tout contraires, et me demander si l´image que nous nous faisons aujourd´hui de la femme n´est pas aussi incomplète que celle que s´en faisait jenny de vasson´ (translation: \" jenny de vasson's book has been on my table since last june, i have read and re-read it and annotated extensively... nothing is more enriching than such a collection. a woman whom we might have known during our adolescence, whom we had perhaps rubbed shoulders with in some street in paris in 1918 or 1919, but of whom we knew nothing, not even the name, suddenly becomes a friend and proves to us once again how great and varied are these secret richness of beings which almost never surface.... she touches us even where her opinions differ in everything from ours. her views on women and on love almost scandalize us because they are the opposite of what we now consider natural and reasonable; but i admit that her firm adherence to what seems to us to be prejudices made me reflect on our very contrary prejudices, and ask myself if the image we have today of women is not as incomplete as the one that jenny de vasson made of it\") further yourcenar refers to specific parts of the work, saying `... il y a cette merveilleuse rencontre de la fillette de treize ans avec dante, et plus tard le contact intelligent avec goethe. là même où elle se butte, contre shakespeare, qu´elle aime peu, contre pascal et stendhal qu´elle juge trop sur leurs seuls défauts...´ (translation \"... there is this wonderful meeting of the thirteen-year-old girl with dante, and later the intelligent contact with goethe. the very place where she comes up against, against shakespeare, whom she doesn't like, against pascal and stendhal, whom she judges too much on their only faults... \") and further continues referring to rimbaud, shaw, dostoievsky, chekhov, proust, romain rolland and many more authors. further again, yourcenar refers to the role of women only some decades earlier and how de vasson could make such a so fine analysis despite her remoteness from large cities and even from people, and states in part ` c´est à peu près ce que proust, avec une extrême subtilité, a dit de sa mère et de sa grand.mère, et l´on voit comment les errements politiques de la france depuis plus d´un siècle avaient d´une part découragé ces bons esprits de toute action civique, et comment, de l´autre la charité restait pour eux une vertu théologale, unie à la foi quíls n´avaient plus...´ (translation: \" this is more or less what proust, with extreme subtlety, said about his mother and his grandmother, and we see how the political errors of france for more than a century had on the one hand discouraged these good spirits from any civic action, and how, on the other hand, charity remained for them a theological virtue, united to the faith which they no longer had...\") before concluding this lengthy and very interesting content letter, yourcenar states ` je me suis souvent demnandé en lisant ces carnets ce que leur auteur serait devenue si au lieu de mourir à quarante-huit ans en 1920 elle était morte à soixante-huit ans en 1940, ou à soixante-treize ans en 1945. mais peut-être a-t-il mieux valu pour elle que tant de dissonnances ne soient pas venues briser ce qui semble à distance un accord presque parfait...´ (translation: \" i have often wondered while reading these notebooks what their author would have become if instead of dying at forty-eight in 1920 she had died at sixty-eight in 1940, or at seventy-three in 1945. but perhaps it was better for her that so many dissonances did not break up what seems from a distance an almost perfect agreement...\") the three sheets are joined to the upper left corner. vg \n  \n jenny marie nannecy girard de vasson (1872-1920) de vasson was one of the first notable women photographers in france. during her relatively brief career, she created over 5,000 images. in her will, she requested that all her writings, drawings, and everything that could be linked to an artistic activity, be destroyed after her death. she

several significant differences, in part, 'you with a dud  bad dud coin in your socket/ try not to pass it palm it/ who tries to palm its gleam on me the glint on me/ were once my golden friend

final text ( \u2018you with a swan-enamouring voice/ that calls but dogs to heel\u2019 ). the second page of the manuscript shows that thomas had almost reached the final version of the short poem, however he still reorganises some lines, indicated with an arrow and parenthesis, to ensure balance and rhythm, and to the third page thomas, having satisfied himself with the work, writes the poem out in a version identical to that which would appear in print (although still without the title  to others than you ; beneath his title  poem  thomas crosses through one line, \u2018  my friends are

alessandro: (1745-1827) italian physicist and chemist, a pioneer of electricty and power who is credited with inventing the electric battery and was also the discoverer of methane. an exceptional, lengthy a.l.s., alessandro volta , four pages, 4to, como, 20th january 1775, to a revered colleague, perhaps carlo barletti, in italian. volta writes an excellent letter of scientific content having received a paper providing the conjectures and details of a discovery made by a professor from reggio, and detailing his opinion of their work, 'i read with pleasure the paper containing the aforementioned conjectures, which, moreover, seemed to me to be no more than conjectures. to tell the truth, the author's idea of relating electrical phenomena to chemistry is beautiful, it is great and should lead to truth, but such a conception is singularly contrary to me, although i came close to it in my first dissertation \"de viribus attractivis fluidi elettrici\" which i hope to be able to send you, and in the second \"novus\"..... in which i was quite ready to bring into play the mutual forces of the particles of the bodies, these forces not being different from the chemical affinities which, they too, are not mechanical forces..... but i must confess that i would not know how to proceed, not knowing if the author wants to establish three different substances: the volatile elemental fire, the fixed fire, and the electric fire which holds from one and the other, or if he reduces these differences to modifications of one and the same substance. i must make another observation on this subject.....the phenomena do not fit in with the hypothesis....for example the author seems to want to conclude that friction causes the electric fluid to pass from one of the two bodies in which it abounds, to one that possesses little of it.....this is openly contradicted by the facts. before i had any experience of it i was inclined towards such a hypothesis, believing that glass receives fluid from the hand......because glass by nature lacks electric fluid, and that on the contrary sulphur and resins give fluid to the hand because they are saturated with it. i explained this opinion to professor p. maria, who did not agree with me. i myself have since abandoned it for the reasons he gave me and even more so because of my own experiments on silk.....glass does not always receive fluid when rubbed, nor from all bodies. if its surface is made rough, glass will give fluid to the hand or cloth that rubs it, and, even without making it rough, i have observed that it gave fluid if it was rubbed against the back of a living cat......a silk ribbon (i have experienced this several times) will give fluid to a piece of wood or metal that is very smooth, and it will then receive fluid from these same pieces if some rough part is rubbed against it. in short, it is proven that the rough or smooth surface of the same body, combined with other circumstances which do not ensure that this body is more or less full of electric fluid, changes the effects completely. our burnt woods, in particular, sometimes give and sometimes receive the fluid..... if the author, by saying that friction causes the fluid to pass from a body that has too much of it to one that lacks it, meant a surplus or a lack that is not natural and inherent to the body, but results from the very act of friction; if he meant, i repeat, a surplus or a lack relative to the inequality, resulting from friction itself, in the mutual forces of the particles of the body being rubbed, by setting in motion especially the particles of the surface, by giving them new positions and making them present a new face; if he meant that one can give more or less vigour to the attractive forces of the particles that make up the surface. ...the author would not otherwise be contradicted by the facts exposed, he would even be approaching the explanation i gave in my dissertation. it would then be fairly easy to explain that friction animates the affinities, i.e. brings them into play, but it should be added that it animates them by alternating them, i.e. by strengthening or weakening them with respect to their primitive state.....' autograph letters of volta with such fine scientific content are extremely rare and highly desirable. a few very small,

mutiny]: rakovsky christian: (1873-1941) bulgarian-born socialist revolutionary, bolshevik politician and soviet diplomat and statesman, a lifelong collaborator of leon trotsky. rakovsky organised rallies in support of the battleship potemkin revolt and carried out a relief operation for the crew of the potemkin as the ship sought refuge in constanta. a significant and interesting a.l.s., dr. christian racovski , four pages, 8vo, constanta, 3/16 july 1905, to an editor, in french. rakovsky has headed the letter affaire \"potemkine\" and writes following the publication of an article, which contained some errors, based on an interview rakovsky had given, writing, in part, '1. il est inexact que matustchenco (et non mastutchenco comme il est ecrit) ait ordonne de tirer sur l'escadre de krieger et que les autres matelots revolutionnaires aient refuse. tout le monde etait tombe d'accord de ne pas tirer sur l'escadre avec (sic; avant) que celle ci commence les hostilites. et cela se comprend puisque les matelots de potemkine tenaient non pas a la destruction de l'escadre de krieger mais a son adhesion a la cause revolutionnaire. 2. je est inexact que matustchenco au dernier conseil qui traita la question de la reddition ait eu a repprocher quelque chose au membre du comite......de potemkine. la scene des matelots revolutionnaires pleurant n'a jamais existe. nous avons examine longtemps les possibilites de la continuation de la lutte, malheureusement ces possibilites n'existaient plus et c'est la camarade matustchenco lui meme qui a ma proposition de se maintenir encore durant deux jours dans les eaux roumaines pour que je puisse durant ce temps obtenir des instructions et des informations plus precices de la part du comite central du parti democrate socialiste russe (qui) m'a repondu: il nous est impossible. pour nous maintenir ici il nous fandra tenir sous pression 16 chaudieres or nous ne possedons que 50 tonnes du charbon. d'un autre cote nous fornir charbon de constanta, etait absolument impossible. voila la veritable cause de la reddition, sans cela les matelots malgre les fatigues enormes de douze jours de luttes - beaucoup des matelots surtout ceux occupes dans les machines et dont la plupart entraient aussi dans le comite n'avaient pas dormi - seraient retournes en russie et precisement en caucase pour continuer la lutte' (translation: 1. it is not true that matustchenco (and not mastutchenco as it is written) ordered the firing on krieger's squadron and that the other revolutionary sailors refused. everyone had agreed not to fire on the squadron before (with) it began hostilities. this was understandable, since the potemkin sailors were not interested in destroying krieger's squadron but in joining the revolutionary cause. 2. it is not true that matustchenco, at the last council which dealt with the question of surrender, had anything to reproach the member of the potemkin committee. the scene of the revolutionary sailors crying never existed. we examined for a long time the possibilities of continuing the struggle, unfortunately these possibilities no longer existed and it was comrade matustchenco himself who made my proposal to remain for two more days in romanian waters so that during this time i could obtain more precise instructions and information from the central committee of the russian democratic socialist party (which) replied to me: it is impossible for us. to keep us here we will have to pressurise 16 boilers and we only have 50 tonnes of coal. on the other hand, it was absolutely impossible for us to get coal from constanta. this is the real reason for the surrender, without which the sailors, despite the enormous fatigue of twelve days of fighting - many of the sailors, especially those working in the engines, most of whom were also members of the committee, had not slept - would have returned to russia and precisely to the caucasus to continue the fight' ). a letter of good content relating to one of the most famous events in the first russian revolution. together with ivan beshoff (1884-1987) russian naval officer, a crew member of the potemkin and participant in the mutiny on the battleship in 1905. blue ink signatures, in both cyrillic and roman script, to the base of an 8vo white card with a lightly mounted newspaper photograph above the signatures, the image depicting beshoff standing in a three-quarter length pose and waving one hand at the foot of some aircraft steps. vg to ex, 2 \n afanasi matushenko (1879-1907) russian socialist revolutionary and non-commissioned officer in the russian black sea fleet who was the ringleader of the mutiny on the  potemkin . \n the mutiny on the battleship potemkin, a pre-dreadnought battleship built for the imperial russian navy's black sea fleet, ocurred on 27th june 1905 during the russian revolution and the russo-japanese war. the crew mutinied over mistreatment by their officers and, after killing the captain and some of the officers, the ship sailed for eleven days before finding refuge in constanta, romania. vladimir lenin, leader of the bolshevik party, called the 1905 revolution, including the potemkin mutiny, a 'dress-rehearsal' for his successful revolution in 1917. the communists seized upon it as a propaganda symbol for their party and unduly emphasised their role in the mutiny. the actions on board the potemkin may also have led to tsar nicholas ii's decision to end the russo-japanese war, and accept the october manifesto, as the mutiny demonstrated that his regime no longer had the unquestioning loyalty of the military and navy.  \n the events of the mutiny later formed the basis of sergei eisenstein's famous silent film battleship potemkin

francais , dans sa misese et dans son combat, est moralement rassemblee autour de la france combattante, nous nous sentons animes d'une merveilleuse confiance et plus resolus que jamais a poursuivre notre chemin, quoiqu'il en coute et quoiqu'il arrive........eh bien, nous nous sentons tres forts et tres surs de nous, malgre toutes les difficultes du monde, parce que les braves gens que voila nous apportent l'encouragement et les ordres de la france.......dans cette guerre mondiale, comme dans toutes les tragedies humaines, les evenements ne sont jamais simples, une sorte de diabolique genie reussit perpetuellement a les rendre decevants et compliques. en effet, ce drame effrayant et passionne met en oeuvre des hommes, des hommes avec leur courage et leur grandeur, mais aussi avec lesurs faiblesses et leurs mediocrites. c'est-a-dire que la politique at la strategie de la guerre ne sont qu'une perpetuelle concurrence entre le bons sens et l'erreur......c'est pourquoi je me sens aujourd'hui oblige d'evoquer clairement devant vous la grande affaire de l'unite de l'empire francais, qui est actuellement au centre de la politique et de la morale de cette guerre. j'en parlerai ici d'autant plus franchement que cette affaire interesse d'abord essentiellement les francais et que notre peuple a le droit de connaitre comment agissent en la matiere ceux qui sont responsables devant lui......on sait que la france combattante, qui n'a pas cesse un seul jour d'etre fidele a l'effort, a l'honneur et aux alliances, qui a remis dans la guerre une grande partie de l'empire, qui prodigue sur tous les champs de bataille le courage de ses soldats, de ses marins, de ses aviateurs, qui sert d'inspiratrice et de guide a la resistance nationale, qui entretient des relations suivies avec toutes les nations unies et qui meme, j'ose le dire, contribue a animer l'esprit de guerre dans tout le camp de la liberte, fut officiellement ecartee de l'enterprise des allies en afrique du nord francaise.....la france combattante etait neamnoins presente pour prodiguer aux allies, lors de leur debarquement, le concours direct de ses amis, pour hanter l'esprit et eveiller la conscience de ces troupes francaises a qui une politique asservie a l'ennemi ordonnait de lutter coute que coute contre les anglo-saxons, en attendant que les allemands aient eu le temps d'accourir, enfin pour fournir, au fezzan, en libye du nord, en tunisie et sur les mers, un concours appreciable et. je crois, assez glorieux a la bataille d'afrique contre l'axe........une tentative fut faite d'imposer d'abord une autorite francaise qui demeurat a la fois hors de vichy et hors de la france combattante. cette tentative ne put reussir. nous pouvons dire que nous nous y etions attendus. il nous a toujours paru que, dans le drame d'aujourd'hui, les grandes actions ne peuvent aboutir qu'appuyees sur une grande mystique. or il n'y a actuellement que deux mystiques parmi les francais: la croix de lorraine pour presque tous, le vieux marechal pour quelques uns......en meme temps une dure bataille s'etait engagee en tunisie, ou l'ennemi avait delbarque et ou de braves troupes francaises, secouant a la vue de l'allemand la torpeur ou vichy les avait longtemps maintenues, s'engageaient spontanement, presque sans armes, pour couvrir le deploiement des puissantes forces americaines et britanniques. je rends ici un ardent hommage a ces vailants soldats, ainsi qu'a leurs chefs, les generaux juin. koetz, barre, qui surent, dans une situation moralement et materiellement aussi confuse que possible, n'ecouter que leur devoir et prendre leurs responsabilites. une nouvelle solution fut enfin adoptee pour le poste de haute-commissaire, puis de commandant en chef civil et militaire, en vertu d'une election par quatre hauts fonctionnaires demeures cependant fideles a petain........car c'est un fait, d'ailleurs infiniment emouvant et reconfortant, qu'en afrique du nord apparait maintenant au jour la volonte nationale. en depit d'une oppression acharnee de deux ans et demi, du flot epais de mensonges et chimeres qu'avait repandu vichy et d'une obstruction continue de la part de certaines autorites, notre algerie, notre maroc, notre tunisie, notre afrique occidentale, s'eveillent peu a peu l'appel de la nation........tout est pret pour que l'unite de l'empire soit demain un fait accompli. il reste a la consacrer, a la rendre feconde.......car c'est bien de la france qu'il s'agit. son empire n'apartient a personne, sinon a elle-meme. parceque cette nation fut trahie et parcequ'elle est crucifiee, serait-ce une raison pour disposer de ses territoires, de ses soldats, par des arrangements opportunistes ou des combinaisons de commodite, alors qu'elle est soulevee par la vague des ardeurs sacrees et des fureurs vengeresses? non!.......il ne saurait y avoir discordance entre le combat mene en dehors du sol national et celui que livrent ses fils sur les champs secrets et multiples de la resistance interieure........nous sommes prets a nous rendre a alger immediatement et sans delai, pourvu que nous en soit laissee la possibilite physique. nous ne voyons pas de raisons pour que cela soit differe davantage. nous en voyons au contraire pour que soit hate un aboutissement qui doit porter au maximum l'effort de guerre francais, faciliter celui des allies et exalter la confiance du monde dans les principes pour lesquels tant d'hommes souffrent et meurent aujourd'hui. c'est ainsi que prendra son sens profond et son efficience la grandiose entreprise interalliee d'afrique du nord, que le president roosevelt et monsieur winston churchill ont, avec tant d'audace et de methode, decidee et mise en oeuvre. c'est ainsi que les alliances et les amities de la nation francaise trouveront un nouvel et decisif aliment. c'est ainsi que la france pourra redresser davantage ses armes et ses esperances, en attendant le jour ou, sa liberation accomplie, et la victoire remportee, elle sortira, une fois de plus, de ses douleurs et de ses ruines, pour rependre son oeuvre et son rang dans l'equipe des grandes nations' (translation: ' \n if we are keen to celebrate our comrades who have recently arrived from france today, it is first and foremost because it is their turn to receive the tribute due to their courage and resolve. but it is also because, in their person, we salute the most recent witnesses of the unbreakable union, once and for all established, between the french combatants and the mass of captive frenchmen........the immense mass of frenchmen, in their misery and in their struggle, are morally united around france combattante, we feel animated by a marvellous confidence and more resolved than ever to continue our path, whatever the cost and whatever happens. .......well, we feel very strong and very sure of ourselves, despite all the difficulties in the world, because these good people are giving us encouragement and orders from france.......in this world war, as in all human tragedies, events are never simple, and some sort of diabolical genius is constantly succeeding in making them deceptive and complicated. indeed, this frightening and passionate drama involves men, men with their courage and their greatness, but also with their weaknesses and their mediocrities. in other words, the politics and strategy of war are a perpetual competition between common sense and error......this is why i feel obliged today to speak clearly to you about the great matter of the unity of the french empire, which is at present at the centre of the politics and morals of this war. i shall speak of it here all the more frankly because this affair is primarily of interest to the french, and because our people have a right to know how those who are responsible to them are acting in this matter...... we know that france combattante, which has never for a single day ceased to be faithful to the effort, to honour and to the alliances, which has brought a large part of the empire back into the war, which lavishes on all the battlefields the courage of its soldiers, its sailors, its airmen, which serves as an inspiration and guide to the national resistance, which maintains regular relations with all the united nations and which even, i dare say, contributes to animating the spirit of war throughout the camp of freedom, was officially excluded from the allied enterprise in french north africa. .... la france combattante was present at all times to give the allies the direct assistance of its friends when they landed, to haunt the minds and awaken the consciences of those french troops who were ordered by a policy subservient to the enemy to fight the anglo-saxons at all costs, until the germans had had time to come to the rescue, and finally to provide appreciable assistance in fezzan, in northern libya, in tunisia and on the seas. i believe, quite glorious to the battle of africa against the axis........an attempt was made to impose a french authority that would remain outside both vichy and fighting france. this attempt was unsuccessful. we can say that we had expected it. it has always seemed to us that, in today's drama, great actions can only succeed if they are supported by a great mystique. now there are only two mystics among the french: the cross of lorraine for nearly all, the old marshal for a few........at the same time, a hard battle was being waged in tunisia, where the enemy had dislodged and where brave french troops, shaken by the sight of the germans from the torpor in which vichy had kept them for so long, spontaneously went into action, almost unarmed, to cover the deployment of powerful american and british forces. i would like to pay a warm tribute to these brave soldiers, and to their leaders, the juin generals. koetz and barre, who, in a situation that was as morally and materially confused as possible, were able to listen only to their duty and take responsibility. a new solution was finally adopted for the post of high commissioner, then commander-in-chief civil and military, by virtue of an election by four senior civil servants who nevertheless remained loyal to petain........for it is a fact, infinitely moving and comforting, that in north africa the national will is now coming to light. in spite of two and a half years of relentless oppression, the thick flood of lies and chimeras spread by vichy, and continuous obstruction on the part of certain authorities, our algeria, our morocco, our tunisia, our west africa, are gradually awakening to the call of the nation........ everything is in place to make the unity of the empire a fait accompli tomorrow. all that remains is to consecrate it, to make it a reality.......for it is france that is at stake. her empire belongs to no-one but herself. because this nation was betrayed and because it is crucified, would that be a reason to dispose of its territories and its soldiers by opportunistic arrangements or combinations of convenience, while it is being stirred up by the wave of sacred ardour and vengeful fury? no! ....... there can be no discrepancy between the struggle being waged outside national soil and that being waged by its sons on the many secret fields of internal resistance........ we are ready to go to algiers immediately and without delay, provided we are given the physical opportunity to do so. we see no reason why this should be delayed any longer. on the contrary, we see reasons to hasten an outcome which should maximize the french war effort, facilitate that of the allies, and exalt the confidence of the world in the principles for which so many men are suffering and dying today. it is in this way that the grandiose joint enterprise in north africa, which president roosevelt and mr winston churchill so boldly and methodically decided upon and implemented, will take on its profound meaning and its effectiveness. it is in this way that the alliances and friendships of the french nation will find new and decisive nourishment. it is in this way that france will be able to straighten her arms and her hopes, in anticipation of the day when, with her liberation accomplished and her victory won, she will once more emerge from her sorrows and her ruins to resume her work and her place in the team

weisthor brought gunther kirchhoff, a fellow enthusiast for germanic prehistory with whom he had corresponded since the spring, to the attention of himmler.....greatly impressed by his letters, weisthor sent the kirchhoff correspondence to himmler, with the excited comment that \"there were still thank goodness other \"initiates\" besides himself who read the times correctly\". he also.....followed up by sending another kirchhoff essay.....with the vigorous recommendation that \"its content was of momentous importance both with respect to our own prehistoric past and for its links with the present\"......the essay described the organisation of prehistoric germany with explicit reference to list's armanenschaft. kirchhoff claimed that ancient europe had been ruled by the great three, namely the uiskunig of goslar, king arthur of stonehenge, and ermanrich of vineta or vilna......kirchhoff ultimately exhausted the patience of the ahnenerbe [a nazi german pseudoscientific think tank established by himmler in 1935 as an ss appendage] which himmler had ordered to study his essays......having by now had enough of kirchhoff's endless submissions, the ahnenerbe took a hard line, describing him as a \"fantasist of the worst kind\" and his work as \"rubbish\" in their reports. nevetheless, himmler still wanted to know why kirchhoff was being neglected by the ahnenerbe and took a great interest in his description of a hexagonal religious complex in the countryside around the raidenstein near gaggenau.......himmler insisted that the recalcitrant ahnenerbe pursue the matter with kirchhoff but the proposed archaeological dig was postponed indefinitely at the outbreak of the war. the real importance of this dispute is its demonstration of himmler's essential support for a lay occultist in the face of academic opposition from his staff in the ahnenerbe. the fact that wesithor and kirchhoff continued to win the attention

and 1139) until his death in 1152. in 1142 he married his second wife, peronella of aquitaine, the sister of king louis vii\u2019s consort, eleanor of aquitaine.  \n guillaume de senlis served as

rare and remain highly desirable. some very light, minimal age wear and with a couple of very minor, insignificant surface creases. vg \n on 15 th may 1931, just a matter of days after the present photograph was taken, gandhi announced that he would attend the second round table conference on indian independence in london. in all, three round table conferences would be held between 1930-32, with gandhi only attending the second. indeed, in december 1929 gandhi had refused to be present at the london meetings and, in accordance with the law, the viceroy arrested gandhi and sent him to prison. however, gandhi\u2019s presence would prove vital to the success of the peace conferences, and he was the only representative of the indian national congress at the second round table conference which opened at the st. james palace in london on 7 th september 1931.  \n kalyanam (1922-2021) indian freedom fighter who served as mahatma gandhi\u2019s personal secretary during the last
