[Montague, Lady Mary Wortley]

Letters of the right honourable Lady M..y W...y M......e: written during her travels in Europe, Asia and Africa to persons of distinction, men of letters, &c. in different parts of Europe, which contain, among other curious relations, accounts of the policy and manners of the Turks. 2de druk. 3 dln. Londen: T. Becket and P.A. de Hondt, 1763.

Geb., 16 165 167 134 p. Gebonden in bibliotheekbanden. Lit: Jacobsen Jensen 110 (Engelstalige editie, Parijs 1800). Lady Montagu(e) (1689-1762) is in de Engelse literatuur vooral bekend door deze 52 brieven vanuit Turkije, waar haar echtgenoot Edward Wortley Montagu van 1716 tot 1718 ambassadeur was. Deze brieven werden eerst in 1763, een jaar na haar dood, gepubliceerd en nog in hetzelfde jaar verscheen de hier aangeboden tweede druk. De brieven zijn gedateerd 1716-1718 en geschreven in diverse plaatsen op de heen- en terugweg van Engeland naar Turkije, maar vooral vanuit het laatste land.In een voorwoord, gedateerd 18 december 1724 en getekend M.A., wordt de loftrompet gestoken over de vrouw die reisverhalen schrijft. Een tweede voorwoord van de “editor” vertelt dat hij de schrijfster leerde kennen gedurende zijn verblijf in Venetië en dat zij de selectie uit haar brieven aldaar voor hem maakte.In de vanuit Nederland geschreven brieven vertelt zij over haar overtocht naar Hellevoetsluis en bezoeken aan Brielle, Rotterdam, Den Haag (het Voorhout) en Nijmegen (Julius Caesars toren, Belvedere, brug, Franse kerk). Er bestaan vertalingen in het Frans en ook in het Nederlands (verschenen in 1765 bij Meijer te Amsterdam). Verder is de schrijfster bekend als feministe, dichter en essayist. Ze was bevriend met Alexander Pope en John Gay. Vanuit Turkije bracht zij het inenten tegen pokken mee terug naar Engeland, waar dit nog onbekend was.

PASSAGE TO ASIA. 25 CENTURIES OF EXCHANGE BETWEEN ASIA AND EUROPE,

BE, B.A.I., 2010 Hardback, 235 x 315mm., 272pp., 300 colour illustrations. FINE CONDITION. ISBN 9789085865650.
¶ Al millennia lang onderhouden Azie en Europa intense relaties. Zowel op het land - via de zijderoute - als op zee ontwikkelden zich commerciele en politieke banden tussen het Oosten en het Westen. Veroveraars als Alexander de Grote, Attila en Dzjengis Khan reisden op zoek naar glorie, rijkdom en macht. Ook Marco Polo, Zheng He en Magelhaen waren gefascineerd door de rijkdommen, de zijde, de kruiden, het porselein. De handel opende de weg voor de verspreiding van de grote religieuze en filosofische stromingen, onuitputtelijke inspiratiebronnen voor kunst en cultuur. De tentoonstelling A Passage to Asia belicht 2500 jaar van uitwisselingen tussen Azie en Europa aan de hand van schatten uit een 20-tal landen. Een tentoonstelling en een festival in de marge van de topconferentie ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) 2010. Asia and Europe form one giant continent, Eurasia, with an endless variation of landscapes, climates, fauna and flora, as well as a wide range of peoples and cultures. Asians and Europeans have been connected with each other for thousands of years. Two cultural factors seem to have linked and influenced the peoples of East and West for thousands of years, Trade and Faith. The book brings together for the first time a selection of 200 art objects from the cultural heritage of 16 Asian countries : Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Specialist in different fields will largely inform the reader with new information. Depuis des millenaires, l'Asie et l'Europe entretiennent d'intenses relations. C'est sur terre - via la ?« route de la soie ?» - et sur mer que se sont developpes les reseaux commerciaux et politiques entre Orient et Occident. Des conquerants tels Alexandre le Grand, Attila et Gengis Khan ont voyage a la recherche de gloire, richesse et pouvoir. Marco Polo, Zheng He, Magellan, tous etaient fascines par les richesses, la soie, les epices, la porcelaine.. Le commerce a ouvert la voie a la diffusion des grands courants religieux et philosophiques, sources d'inspirations inepuisables pour l'art et la culture. A Passage to Asia met en lumiere 2500 ans d'echanges entre l'Asie et l'Europe a travers les tresors d'une vingtaine de pays. Une exposition et un festival en marge du sommet ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) 2010. English/ French/ Dutch (NL) edition. New book.
