A propos de cet article

Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] Preface, list of characters; ix, 246 pages. The original turquoise cloth is in excellent shape except for slight bumping of the spine ends; the lettering on the upper board and spine—with its orange title square—is bright and clear. The interior leaves are bright, crisp and clean; however, my philosopher-father wrote the date, 1958, neatly in blue ink, on the title page. [Visible in one of the four images of the actual book—which see.] The original pictorial dust jacket is a bit rubbed and spotted with a sunned spine; it is price-clipped, though a rather discreet $3.95 is stamped on the flap. From the preface by Anne Morrow Lindbergh: "'There are, I am persuaded, persons who have had a glimpse of something so perfect that they are afterwards impatient with the imperfect world about them, and all the imperfect people. It may be a religious revelation or a vision from pure reason. If these people lack the courage to embrace the leper of imperfection, the result is for them disharmony.' I have copied this paragraph from Haniel Long's posthumous novel. Pondering on it and using it as a lens through which to review my impression of him, I wonder if here, in the opening phrase, we are not very close to the author. . . . He wrote: 'How few people make a demand of the soul.' He made demands of the soul and he wished people to make such demands of him. . . . 'Sooner or later hell happens to everyone.'" [My father had Long's 'Interlinear for Cabeza de Vaca', listed separately.] 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.…
