[a nice-looking copy, bumped at three of the four tips but no other significant wear, embossed ownership stamp of MGM writer/producer Carey Wilson on both endpapers; the jacket is a little age-toned, with minor wear at the edges and corners]. A great science-fiction… writer and a great rocket scientist put their noggins together to produce "a sort of geography of those lands of the imagination which figured in the tall tales of travelers and poets. [The book] tells the stories of all these marvelous places: Atlantis, the countries of the Odyssey, the lands of Sindbad the Sailor and of Prester John, the hunt for El Dorado and the Terra Australis, and the land in the Western Ocean where the dead ships go. Nor have the lost tribes of Israel or the earthly paradise been neglected. It is a fascinating expedition into the unknown.". Illustrated by (dj design) Charles Skaggs (illustrator).

Roland Gérard Barthes (12 Nov 1915 - 26 Mar 1980) was a French literary theorist, essayist, philosopher, critic, and semiotician. His work engaged in the analysis of a variety of sign systems, mainly derived from Western popular culture. His ideas explored a diverse range of fields, including structuralism, anthropology, literary theory, and post-structuralism, and influenced the development of multiple schools of theory. Barthes is particularly notable for his 1957 essay collection "Mythologies", which contained reflections on popular culture, and the 1967/1968 essay "The Death of the Author", which critiqued traditional approaches in literary criticism. Throughout his career, Barthes had an interest in photography and its potential to communicate actual events. A number of his monthly myth articles in the 1950s had attempted to show how a photographic image could represent implied meanings and thus be used by bourgeois culture to infer 'naturalistic truths'. But he still considered the photograph to have a unique potential for presenting a completely real representation of the world. When his mother, Henriette Barthes, died in 1977 he began writing Camera Lucida as an attempt to explain the unique significance a picture of her as a child carried for him. Reflecting on the relationship between the obvious symbolic meaning of a photograph (which he called the studium) and that which is purely personal and dependent on the individual, that which 'pierces the viewer' (which he called the punctum), Barthes was troubled by the fact that such distinctions collapse when personal significance is communicated to others and can have its symbolic logic rationalized. Barthes found the solution to this fine line of personal meaning in the form of his mother's picture. Barthes explained that a picture creates a falseness in the illusion of 'what is', where 'what was' would be a more accurate description. As had been made physical through Henriette Barthes's death, her childhood photograph is evidence of 'what has ceased to be'. Instead of making reality solid, it serves as a reminder of the world's ever changing nature.' (Wiki) ***First impression of the first UK edition, translated into English by Richard Howard, in its original dustwrapper in very good to near fine condition. The first UK edition is surprisingly uncommon and desirable. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Charles Skaggs (Jacket design) (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +. 1st Edition. Xi, 472 Pp + Ad At Rear. Red Cloth, Gilt. First Printing, With 1924 Date On Title Page. Light Usage. Hinges Tight. Inscribed By The Author To General Charles E. Daes And Dated August 1, 1924. No Marks. A Most Thorough And Scholarly Analysis, Not Equaled, By Modern Efforts, Which Te…nd To Pussyfoot. "The Object Of This Book . Is An Authoritative And Candid Survey Of The Corrupt Practices And Criminal Lawlessness Of A Provincial Oligarchy." The Evidence Is Massive And Convincing Regarding The Physical Or Psychological Inabilities Of Southern Whites To Govern Themselves, Let Alone Others. He Quotes The Alabama Educational Commission Itself "The Constitution Of 1868, Though Enacted By A So-Called "Carpetbag" Government, Dealt With The Subject Of Education In A Manner Far More Liberal And Infinitely Better Calculated To Promote General Intelligence Than Does Either The Constitution Of 1875 Or That Of 1901." Skaggs Quotes Abraham Lincoln In A Letter To Joshua F. Speed: "The Slave-Breeders And Slave-Traders Are A Small, Odious, And Detested Class Among You; And Yet In Politics They Dictate The Course Of All Of You, And Are As Completely Your Masters As You Are The Masters Of Your Own Negroes." This Breed At The Top Poisoned Every Branch Of Government In The South. Per Wikipedia, Charles Gates Dawes (1864 -1951) Was The 30Th Vice President Of The United States From 1925 To 1929 Under President Calvin Coolidge. He Was A Co-Recipient Of The Nobel Peace Prize In 1925 For His Work On The Dawes Plan For World War I Reparations, And A Member Of The Republican Party. Born In Marietta, Ohio, Dawes Attended Cincinnati Law School Before Beginning A Legal Career In Lincoln, Nebraska. After Serving As A Gas Plant Executive, He Managed William Mckinley's 1896 Presidential Campaign In Illinois. After The Election, Mckinley Appointed Dawes As The Comptroller Of The Currency. He Remained In That Position Until 1901 Before Forming The Central Trust Company Of Illinois. Dawes Served As A General During World War I And Was The Chairman Of The General Purchasing Board For The American Expeditionary Forces. In 1921, President Warren G. Harding Appointed Dawes As The First Director Of The Bureau Of The Budget. Dawes Served On The Allied Reparations Commission, Where He Helped Formulate The Dawes Plan To Aid The Struggling German Economy. The 1924 Republican National Convention Nominated President Calvin Coolidge Without Opposition. After Former Governor Of Illinois Frank O. Lowden Declined The Vice-Presidential Nomination, The Convention Chose Dawes As Coolidge's Running Mate. The Republican Ticket Won The 1924 Presidential Election, And Dawes Was Sworn In As Vice President In 1925. Dawes Helped Pass The Mcnary-Haugen Farm Relief Bill In Congress, But President Coolidge Vetoed It. Dawes Was A Candidate For Renomination At The 1928 Republican National Convention, But Coolidge's Opposition To Dawes Helped Ensure That Charles Curtis Was Nominated Instead. In 1929, President Herbert Hoover Appointed Dawes To Be The Ambassador To The United Kingdom. Dawes Also Briefly Led The Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Which Organized A Government Response To The Great Depression. He Resigned From That Position In 1932 To Return To Banking. Dawes's Brothers Were Rufus C. Dawes, Beman Gates Dawes, And Henry May Dawes, All Prominent Businessmen Or Politicians. Dawes Was A Self-Taught Pianist, Flutist And Composer. His Composition Melody In A Major Became A Well-Known Piano And Violin Piece In 1912. Melody In A Major Was Played At Many Official Functions That Dawes Attended. In 1951, Carl Sigman Added Lyrics To Melody In A Major, Transforming It Into The Song "It's All In The Game". Since Then, It Has Become A Pop Standard. Numerous Artists Have Recorded Versions, Including Cliff Richard, The Four Tops, Isaac Hayes, Jackie Deshannon, Van Morrison, Nat "King" Cole, Etc. Dawes And Bob Dylan Are The Only Persons Credited With A Number-One Pop Hit To Have A Nobel Prize. Inscribed by Author(s).
