Item description from seller

Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] First Printing in English. Preface, Introduction, Notes; xxxvii, 228 pages, plus colophon and 2 blank leaves. The original dark blue cloth is in excellent shape, with gilt lettering bright on the spine. The interior is nearly pristine (one odd spot from publishing on Contents page) and 'feels' like a new book, bright and unmarked, on quality paper. The unclipped dust jacket is crisp and clean with two tiny scratches to the spine. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "Apart from Dostoevsky's novel about a Siberian penal colony, . . . there is nothing in Russian literature comparable to this harrowing work . . . written in 1862 [and] here translated into English for the first time." Professor Kuhn ends his introduction: "The weak are destroyed, the strong corrupted, but no one escapes with his moral sensibility intact. Pomyalovsky's vision is bleak, but it is also painfully honest. His sketches, rooted as they are in his own wounds, are cries from the heart; screams, as Pomyalovsky said once, from a lost soul in hell." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.

Description de la boutique

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.
