Personally hand signed by historian James Romm directly to the full title page. NOT inscribed to anyone. NOT a tip in. NOT a bookplate. Dust jacket hand covered… in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! From an eminent historian and classicist, an incisive portrait of the philosopher Plato, showing how the ideas in his masterwork, Republic, were tested by violent events in the most powerful Greek city of the era. Plato is one of history's most influential thinkers, the "sublime philosopher" whose writings remain foundational to Western culture. He is known for the brilliant dialogues in which he depicted his teacher, Socrates, discussing ethical truths with prominent citizens of Athens. Yet the image we have of Plato an ethereal figure far removed from society and politics, who conjured abstract ideas in peaceful groves is a fiction, created by Plato's admirers and built up over centuries. In fact, Plato was very much a man of the world. In Plato and the Tyrant, acclaimed historian and classicist James Romm draws on personal letters of Plato documents that have long been kept in obscurity to show how a philosopher helped topple the leading Greek power of the era: the opulent city of Syracuse. There, Plato encountered two authoritarian rulers, a father and son both named Dionysius, and tried to steer them toward philosophy. At the same time, he worked on his masterpiece, Republic, in which he conceived a ruler who unites perfect wisdom with absolute power. That dream has echoed down through the ages and given rise to a famous term, one that Plato himself didn't actually use: philosopher-king. As Romm reveals, Plato's time in Syracuse helped shape Republic and also had disastrous results for Plato himself and for all of Greek Sicily. The younger Dionysius, emotionally unstable but intellectually curious, welcomed Plato with open arms, but soon the relationship soured. Plato's close friendship with Dionysius's uncle, Dion possibly a bond of romantic love created a rift in the ruling family that led to a chaotic civil war. Combining thrilling political drama with explorations of Plato's most cherished ideas, Romm takes us into the heart of Greece's late classical age, a time when many believed that democracy had failed. Plato's search for solutions led him to write his fervent plea for a new political order, and also led him to a place where he believed his theories might be put into practice. But Plato and the Tyrant demonstrates how Plato's experiment with enlightened autocracy spiraled into catastrophe, and also gives us nothing less than a new account of the origins of Western political thought.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Melbourne, Printed and published by Lawrence Kay for Pictorial Newspapers, Herald and Weekly Times Ltd., [1941]. Large quarto (but printed throughout in oblong format), 52 pages (including the covers) with an illustrated introduction, a full-page advertisement ('Learn Drawing for P…rofit!'), 46 pages of comic strips, and advertisements on three sides of the covers. Saddle-stapled colour-pictorial title-wrappers a little foxed and marked, with a short sealed split to the foot of the spine; staples rusty, staining a little the paper in close proximity; mild signs of age and use; overall, a very good copy. The very rare first annual. 'Many who have followed their adventures and misadventures in The News and in Digger journals in the Middle East have urged that Bluey and Curley richly deserve a taste of C.B. - not in the form of confinement to barracks, but between the covers of a book. Hence the present volume. There is in the humour of Alex Gurney, the creator of the two irresponsible irrepressibles, something of the richness of a fine old port, a sound vintage calculated to improve with keeping and to bring a mellow glow to those who sample it. As comic creations Bluey and Curley are worthy to rank with Bairnsfather's immortal Old Bill. Their hard-boiled geniality and irreverent humour are typical of the Digger when off parade, and are qualities which have helped him to emerge with a grin from many a tight corner' (the introduction). Alexander George (Alex) Gurney (1902-1955) 'was already well established as a caricaturist, cartoonist, and comic strip artist . [when, in] late 1939, following the outbreak of World War II, he created his most famous characters, Bluey and Curley, which first appeared in the "Picture-News" magazine. It was transferred to "The Sun News-Pictorial" in 1940' and was widely syndicated. The Annuals were published from 1941 to 1960. After Gurney's death, 'the strip was drawn by Norman Howard Rice (1911-1956). Rice died as the result of a car accident on 31 December 1956 . The strip was then drawn by Les Dixon from 1957 until 1975' (Wikipedia). The strip featured a pair of soldiers, red-headed Bluey, the Great War veteran who had re-enlisted in the Second AIF, and Curley (the hair again), the new recruit. 'As an accredited war correspondent, Gurney visited army camps throughout Australia to obtain authentic detail and gain a feel for military life; he contracted malaria in August 1944 while visiting New Guinea. The strip made "superb use of Australian idiom and slang", and had an "instinctive understanding and interpretation of the Australian male"' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography'). 'Although Bluey and Curley were popular with Australians because they related to the slang, attitude, and the lack of respect towards authority exhibited by the main characters, the strip lost some of its appeal and readership when the pair returned to "civvy street"' (Wikipedia again - although a 37-year run is not bad by any reckoning).

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. About 150 photos (or photos of photos) and postcards, all firmly pasted down, two to a page on both sides of album leaves. Album leaves rather worn, with chipping along fore-edges. Some page rippling. Photos are black and white as are many of the postcards. Most of the photographic images, while appea…ling, are a bit faint and much less sharply detailed than one would like. No captions except for the printed captions on some of the postcards. The last 8 album leaves are unused. Undated but probably sometime in the first quarter of the 20th century. Moderate-sized oblong album covered in flexible patterned leather (25 x 18 cm.). Cover worn along edges and rubbed. The first 93 images, mostly photos rather than postcards, appear to relate to India or adjacent areas (a few seem Burmese to us, partly because the appearance of some of the temples). The next 7 photos and 11 postcards relate to Egypt or nearby arid settings followed by 12 postcards and 27 photos which relate to Greece. The final four images (all postcards) relate to China. The South Asian images, as loosely defined by us, begins with about 30 images that could be non-Indian followed by scenes of bathing in the Ganges, numerous interior and exterior images of various antiquities (including several of the Taj Mahal), a few elephants and a few other images. Our Egyptian images begin with four photos of an unidentified caravan featuring rather heavily laden camels, followed by postcard images mostly of antiquities (the Sphinx, pyramids, Karnak and Thebes). The Greek images provide a strong dose of antiquities and a few images of traditionally attired Greeks including a black and white photo of a gun-toting young man and a color postcard, captioned in part "Soldat Grec (Efzonaki)." The final four images are three color postcards of Chinese scenes and a black and white image of an indeterminately-located street scene.

Second edition of the sum of the topographical and geographical knowledge of Greece, published just before Greek independence had been achieved offcially. In 1824 the bookseller and writer Josiah Conder (1789-1822) had 'entered into an agreement with James Duncan of Paternoster Row to edit the afterwards well-known series of the Modern Traveller, undertaking in the first instance to furnish the volume on Palestine only. Ultimately he compiled the whole set of thirty volumes (1825-9), having assistance in only one or two of them. The series was successful, despite the fact of its editor's never having left his native country' (ODNB). 'It was one part of the plan, so to arrange the volumes that the description of any country might be sold peparately' (author's preface the first volume in the 30-volume series).
