    Bolsillo. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : Nuevo. 01. Este es un día como tantos. nada ha cambiado. Tengo la Enfermedad de Parkinson desde hace algún tiempo. Mentiría si dijese que nada cambió, que todo seguía siendo igual para mí. Nada más lejos de la verdad. El camino que tuve que recorrer no fue nada fácil. Primero porque me resistía a aceptarlo. Me sentía furioso con la vida. Me vi ante situaciones que nunca imaginé. Y eso me hizo procurar conocer todo cuanto pudiera sobre la enfermedad. Aprender a descubrirme, a reconducirme y, por supuesto, a aceptar mis limitaciones. Ahora, después de todo ese andar, he llegado a comprender que sin el acompañamiento amoroso de mi pareja y mi familia, de mis amigos, me hubiera sido más difícil superar este trayecto. Igualmente importante para mí ha sido la intervención de mi médico, y no solo por lo que se refiere al aspecto profesional, sino a su trato siempre humano para conmigo. Soy una persona que vive con esperanza. La enfermedad no me ha detenido. Y en el día a día procuro mantener la alegría en mi corazón, alegría que puedo compartir con mi pareja, con mis hijos, mis nietos, mis amigos y con todo aquello que me ilusiona, porque he podido reconciliarme con la vidaö.

    Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Hard cover bound volume, 4to., in three quarter morocco over marbled paper covered boards, the spine with raised bands rolled in gilt decoration with COLUMBIAN/ MAGAZINE and year 1846 tooled to the second and fourth compartments. In Two Parts with separate Tables of Contents and title pages. Vol. V is illustrated with 14 full-page steel plate engravings, including line and mezzotints, with three hand-colored fashion plates; Vol. VI features 18 engravings, (none colored.) A number have patriotic or political themes, with the male editors providing commentary (also for the fashion plates, oddly.) Contributions from a number of recognized nineteenth-century women writers are represented in these pages, as outlined. ** CONDITION: Very Good overall, but INSIDE IS CLOSER TO FINE. Exterior with some rubbing and shelf wear. Loss of leather corner on front bottom. Crack to top of joint about two inches in length. Inside, hinges are in order. Folded corner to a couple of prelims, but contents are very clean, firm and bright. Plates are gorgeous, with only one blemished marginally and one other only foxed. The mezzotints sing with deep rich tones. **AUTHOR HIGHLIGHTS include several poems by FRANCES SARGENT OSGOOD (1811-1850); she and EDGAR ALLAN POE famously exchanged romantic poetry, and she is buried at Boston's Mount Auburn Cemetery. Another Poe acquaintance was the Author Miss CATHERINE M. SEDGWICK, who was brought up in western Massachusetts in a family of lawyers and judges (her father became Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court.) She was a successful novelist in her own right, publishing 1824's "A New England Tale. Redwood, " a best seller. Her work was favorably compared to that of her contemporary James Fenimore Cooper. Poe described her appearance in detail in a column in Godey's Lady's Book of 1846 (Vol. 33, pp. 131-132) in a column titled "The Literati of New York City"."Her forehead is an unusually fine one, [the] nose of a slightly Roman curve; eyes dark and piercing; mouth well-formed and remarkably pleasant in its expression. The portrait in Graham's Magazine is by no means a likeness." Ms. Osgood was, then, being extensively written about in the main literary outlets of the day. She provides six selections here.**LYDIA MARIA CHILD (1802-1880), another influential Massachusetts author and editor, was also a first wave feminist known for her promotion of many causes considered "radical" in her day. Abolitionism, the rights of indigenous people, and women's suffrage were among her causes, and she also wrote a novel about interracial marriage in 1824. She and her husband also worked with Newburyport-born abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison's anti-slavery movement in Boston. [ See our related listing for "The History of the Condition of Women, in Various Ages and Nations," our no. 9258.] In this volume, LMC offers four selections: "Recollections of Ole Bull," "She Waits in the Spirit Land," "The Self-Conscious, and the Unconscious," and "The Neighbor-in-Law." **Newburyport's HANNAH FLAGG GOULD (1789-1865) is also represented in these pages with her poem, "The Empty Cradle." Gould was also a contemporary of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, writing for his anti-slavery newspaper, "The Liberator." [See our related listing 7250.] **ANNA BLACKWELL (1816-1900) Bristol, England-born, Author and Poet later associated with the Transcendentalists at Boston's Brook Farm, also provides a number of poems in this collection. Like Child, she is considered a first wave feminist and radical thinker in the areas of woman's rights and abolitionism. She was also a correspondent of some intimate variety with E.A. Poe. **Her sister, Miss ELIZABETH BLACKWELL, (1821-1910) provides a short story, "Lyndhurst" to this issue. She would famously go on to become the first trained woman medical doctor in the United States, beginning her medical studies the following year,1847, at Geneva Medical College in New York. Prior to that, however, she and her five sisters made ends meet after the death of their father instructing at a private school run with their mother in Cincinnati. A male contributor, James Kirk Paulding, forgoing credit with the byline,"By an Amateur," adds a spirited critique of midcentury spiritualism in "Panegyric on Witchcraft, Mesmerism and Cheap Literature." On LMC's "The Children of Mount Ida," see BAL 3155. Landseer, W.H. Bartlett, Zoffany et al (illustrateur). Book.…

    Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Hard cover bound volume, 4to., in three-quarter black calf over green cloth, die stamped with twining foliage and flowers. The spine has extensive gilt decorative banding at head and foot, double ruled faux banding and titles to second, and date 1847 to the fourth compartment. Marbled end papers, and faint remains of marbling are seen to edges of text block. Original four-color cover bound in. Vol. VII contains Jan.- June, 1847, bound with Vol. VIII July-Dec. 1847. Each volume numbered separately. Illustrations include scenes from the Mexican-American War, (then current,) with commentary by the editors on "The Storming of Palace Hill,(sic)," which the editor reports mis-named from Independence Hill near Monterey, California. In total, there are 3 colored fashion plates, 4 mezzotints and 10 black and white line engravings in Vol. VII. Vol. VIII has 9 black and white line engravings (none colored) and 6 mezzotints. **CONDITION: Very Good. Binding is sound and attractive. Some light scuffs to spine, mild edge wear to head and tail of spine, tips, front joint and corners. Minor rubbing to cloth on boards. Wear is superficial, with hinges in order, endpapers bright. Inside: light, or sometimes moderate, toning with occasional spots of soiling, or a few small tears, but generally clean, square and sound.**Featured in the March, 1847 Issue, p. 123, is the FIRST APPEARANCE of EDGAR ALLAN POE's short story, as revised and re-titled, "THE DOMAIN OF ARNHEIM". A previous version had appeared in 1842 under the title "The Landscape Garden" in "The Ladies Companion." Unusual for Poe, the story is not a gothic, doom-laden tale, but rather a prose poem which is a vision of an artist's Shangri-La built amongst a towering, mountainous, riverine landscape. Biographer Una Pope-Hennessy suggests the singular monolithic author's aerie described in the story was based on Poe's familiarity with the English gothic author William Beckford's (cf. 1786 novel, "Vathek.") whose doomed estate of Fonthill Abbey in Wiltshire collapsed under its own weight in a fit of its builder's drug-fueled architectural vanity. ***L. MARIA CHILD contributes three short stories, including what is arguably the best of the tales in this issue, "The Rival Mechanicians," about a rivalry between two apprentices for the heart of a Swiss watchmaker's daughter in a plot which involves the building of increasingly complex watches, barometers, automatons and a human-like "android," (certainly an early use of that word.) The author may have been influenced by her New York acquaintances of the Knickerbocker school (W. Irving, Paulding, et al) in this unusually spooky tale. Her biographer J. G. Whittier selects letters from her correspondence of the period showing a rather reclusive, solitary exile to the New York area at this time, in flight from real danger and condemnation felt from some Bostonians and southerners for her outspoken contributions to the abolitionist press. [Child published frequently on these topics through the New York offices of the American Anti-Slavery Society, located at 143 Nassau Street in 1842; the "Columbian Magazine" was published but a door away at 140 Nassau Street, until 1846. (See BAL 3141)].**Other notable additions to this annual include short stories, songs and poetry by mid-nineteenth century women authors , Francis S. Osgood, Miss Catharine M. Sedgwick, Mrs. E. F. Ellett, Miss Fanny Forrester and others. Some contributions from the men include ALFRED BILLINGS STREET's (1811-1881) "A Day or Two's Fishing in Pike's Pond." The work of this Poughkeepsie, New York native has been described as prose poetry, and his work has been compared favorably to that of the Transcendentalists, Emerson, Bryant and Longfellow. JAMES KIRKE PAULDING (1778-1860), once Secretary of the United States Navy, and a leading contributor to the Knickerbocker New York literary scene of the 1820's and 30's, contributes a terrific gothic tale, "The All-Seeing Eye" in the Jan. 1847 issue, p. 5-12. A traveller, observing from a riverbank, happens to witness a murder during a violent storm. He meets the perpetrator by chance some twenty years later, who is keen to confess his sin. The psychic toll taken upon the rich, worldly-successful murderer is very much reminiscent of Poe's 1843 tale, "The Tell-Tale Heart". ** REFS : On Poe: Poe Soc.: Text 04-c, for "Arnheim." U. Pope-Hennessy, "Edgar Allen Poe, a Critical Biography," (New York: Haskell House Ltd, 1971), pp. 170-171. BAL 16149 mentions the 1842 version of The Landscape Garden, published in the Ladies Companion, version; but not this re-titled story, "Arnheim." On Paulding: BAL 15743 lists "The All-Seeing Eye" as "otherwise un-located" from a version found in the 1852 "Ladies Illustrated Keepsake" ; this 1847 publication may therefore be its first appearance.
