SUSPENSEFUL: PERCEPTIVE: VIVID: FIRST-HAND: HARROWING: TRAGIC: DRAMATIC: NEW First Edition LOA hardcover (Orig. 2007) First Printing: NEW mylar-protected jacket showing orig. $45.00 price at bottom-right inside-front flyleaf * 5.12" x 8.12" x 1.72", 0.90 kg, xii+1332 (1344) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: One of the truly legendary figures of American history, the soldier, explorer, & colonist Captain John Smith was a vivid & prolific chronicler of the beginnings of English settlement in the New World. This LOA volume brings together 7 of his works, along w/ 16 additional narratives by other writers, that recount firsthand the tragic, harrowing, & dramatic events of the settlement of Roanoke & Jamestown. A founder of Jamestown in 1607, Smith exhibited the courage, determination, & leadership that all proved crucial to its survival. "A True Relation" tells of the colony's perilous first year, while "The Proceedings" & "The Generall Historie" continue the story of its struggle to survive & prosper. "A Description of New England" & "New England's Trials" describes Smith's exploration of the northern coast & the prospects for its settlement. In "The True Travels" Smith recalls his adventures as a soldier in Eastern Europe & his amazing escape from Turkish slavery. Advertisements for the "Unexperienced Planters", his last book, is a critical examination of the successes & failures of the English colonial enterprise. Written in a consistently lively style, Smith's works are filled w/ suspense, astonishment, & keen observations of American Indian cultures & New World landscapes. The 16 additional narratives include accounts of the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke, the horrific "starving time" at Jamestown, & a shipwreck off Bermuda. Amplifying & sometimes challenging Smith's version of events, these narratives capture the fear & fascination of early encounters w/ the Indians; the brutality, desperation, & ingenuity of settlers facing extreme hardship; the complex interplay of feuds & rivalries, both between the English & the Powhatan Indians & within the colony itself; and the enduring story of Pocahontas, who came to occupy a unique place between 2 cultures. Included in the volume are 44 pages of contemporary drawings, 15 of them full-color illustrations by John White * LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Fine condition faux red leather boards with elaborately illustrated gold front cover perimeter and spine decorations, gold front cover lettering, and gold spine lettering over a black block border. Includes Editor's Comment and Acknowledgments. Major chapter headings are as follows: Wisdom; Benjamin Franklin; History; Beauty and Business. "Sometimes it seems almost futile to try to write anything new because it has all been said before - and so well said. Of course, any such defeatism must lead to a dead end of accomplishment in terms of literary effort. Fortunately for the living and those to come, there are many bright new stars on the panel of contemporary writers. They are skillfully telling the story of these eventful days and their words will be read with relish by future generations. In fact, the printed word today is so prolific, and the competition with the book, the magazine and the newspaper is so great, future generations will require anthologies in great number to know what our bright literary stars have said. In this anthology there has bee no effort to be erudite, consistent, unusual or educational. The prime purpose is to amuse by exposing the reader to many things he has read before and may wish to read again. Perhaps that poem he [or she] HAD to learn, to pass freshman English, is here. He may even enjoy rereading it under different auspices. It is not possible to include only those things that appeal to him. If he dislikes poetry in any form, we hope he will please forgive us. Some of us like the "well-turned couplet." On the other hand, there are those who love Shakespeare, but just cannot understand how his hallowed words should appear with some of the more commonplace choices that have arrived in this selection. It takes all kinds you know - and we have tried to select all kinds of literature." - excerpt from Editor's Comment.
