An interesting historical record of Musicians,Composers & Performers pre-1943 with details of their achievements, mentors & performances. From the preface: “The large space devoted to bibliography is only proportionate to the importance of the subject. Reference to sources, where fuller treatment can be found, constitutes a natural and essential supplement to the necessarily condensed statements of a Dictionary. Much time and thought have been given to the selection of titles, and only such have been included as are of real value. The care expended on this part of the task has resulted not only in the correction of errors (wrong titles, dates or places of publication, confusion of different editions, etc.) in the bibliography of predecessors, but many im-portant items in the articles themselves have thus been verified or corrected.” Revised & enlarged. Size: Large Octavo. 1094 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Previous owner's name in ink plus embossed address to fep.. Gilt titles spine & front. textured green cloth.

Barrett, Hugh

Early to Rise: A Suffolk Morning

Farming Press Books, Ipswich, Suffolk, 1994. Second Edition, Softcover. Very Good Condition. This is an authentic first-hand account of life as a 16-year-old farm pupil in the early 1930s. In Suffolk, as elsewhere, the tractor had not yet displaced the horse, farms were full of labourers and the working day was long and hard. Hugh Barrett "lived in", received five shillings a week and learned to plough, build a stack, hoe beet and grind the pig food. His accounts of rabbits, rats and plagues of fleas are, like all the book, factually accurate and told with humour. The author sets out to convey "neither the bad old days nor the good old days" - just the year when he earned his first wage, the larks sang and the heavy tasks began to sort out the men from the boys.

Life of Abraham Lincoln - (Everyman's Library No. 783)

J.M. Dent and Sons Ltd. London, 1927. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition. decorated end-papers; titles, introduction, select bibliography, contents & prefatory notes to front. Among American heroes, Lincoln continues to have a unique appeal for his fellow countrymen and also for people of other lands. This charm derives from his remarkable life story—the rise from humble origins, the dramatic death—and from his distinctively human and humane personality as well as from his historical role as saviour of the Union and emancipator of enslaved people. His relevance endures and grows especially because of his eloquence as a spokesman for democracy. In his view, the Union was worth saving not only for its own sake but because it embodied an ideal, the ideal of self-government. 4-page essay on the Everyman's Library to rear. First Thus.

Being Divine: A Biography Of Sarah Bernhardt

Secker & Warburg, London, 1991. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780436199950 beige end-papers; Sarah Bernhardt - la divine, la grande Sarah - achieved a pinnacle of fame unprecedented in an age before film and television. Every aspect of her extraordinary life was reported in obsessive detail: her penchant for sculpting in a white silk Worth pyjama suit; her whim to have a tiger's tail grafted to the base of her spine (she was mercifully talked out of it); her ever-changing lovers; the coffin in which she reputedly slept and the number and veracity of her death scenes. Unfashionably thin, with clouds of blonde hair and long slanting eyes, Sarah possessed a golden voice, a determination to succeed which was almost frightening in its intensity, and the ability to convince everyone that she was the most beautiful and the most fascinating woman in the world. Sarah embarked on her acting career almost by accident, but she threw herself body and soul into her work with a seemingly inexhaustible energy, which even the amputation of her leg and the encroachment of what in others would be termed old age failed to diminish. Unlike the stars of recent years, Sarah did not have nervous breakdowns (although she was notorious, during her early years, for being 'difficult'), she did not become addicted to drugs or alcohol, she did not commit suicide or succumb to consumption - and she did not retire. Like many, Sarah sought fame, but she, perhaps uniquely, thrived on the rigours which accompany it. What were her secrets? In this unusual examination of Sarah Bernhardt's life, Ruth Brandon searches behind the well-known, very public persona of this fabulous woman to discover precisely what it was in her background, upbringing and personality that made her the phenomenon that she undoubtedly was. The result is a book which is at once wittily informative, unerringly perceptive and thoroughly entertaining. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xiii + 466. Dust Jacket un-clipped.

With Gurdjieff in St. Petersburg and Paris

Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, 1978. First Edition, Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780710085276 St Petersburg before the Revolution - the cultural heart of Russia, alive with intellectual energy. This was Anna Butkovsky's life until she reached her early thirties, and it was through this life that she met and became friends with P. D. Ouspensky, and with him became one of Gurdjieff's first pupils. With a remarkable memory for detail and a gift for evoking the atmosphere and excitement of those early days, she describes how Gurdjieff and his few pupils would meet daily at two tables in Phillipoff's Cafe where, over steaming cups of coffee, they would follow the great teacher's words, as he directed them along new lines of spiritual and mystical development. Eventually she and the other disciples lived communally in a house which Gurdjieff bought especially for the group. The Revolution changed all of their lives irrevocably, as it did those of millions of other Russians, but the story does not end there. Some years later, Mrs Hewitt, as she had then become, met Gurdjieff again in Paris and resumed her studies with him. In detailing the events of this period, she offers a fascinating account of Gurdjieff's experiments with movement at the Dalcrose Institute, experiments which eventually led to performances in both Paris and New York. Throughout her narrative she keeps the all-important ideas of the Quest and the Miraculous to the fore, as she follows the story of the small band of disciples, under the firm but kindly eye of the teacher himself. In doing this, she has also provided the reader with an unforgettable picture of the 'Event' which Gurdjieff most certainly was. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ix + 157. Dust Jacket un-clipped.

As New. 9780969696018 Reveals the sorcerer's apprentice in an entirely new light. -- Includes never before published photos of Carlos Castaneda. -- Describes in detail their marriage. -- His first four books are discussed along with the impact the publications had on the couple's lives. We see young Carlos in the years before his fame, charming but remote and elusive; a drop-out from his anthropology courses at UCLA with no clear sense of direction. Learn of his eight year struggle, marked by many false starts and long periods of uncertainty, before he found the right shape for his message in The Teachings of Don Juan. There is the marriage: a long-distance, on-again off-again affair with its faked Mexican divorce. And then Margaret's second marriage and the birth of a son -- clearly not the biological child of Carlos -- but for whom he developed a long-lasting affection. For the thousands of readers who have longed to meet the author of The Teachings of Don Juan, Margaret Castaneda's intimate portrait of this world famous author will be a long awaited reward. A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda takes us behind the almost legendary public image in his rare personal appearances and reveals a fascination and deliberately mysterious man in a light we have never seen before.
