In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Fair. Title: Elementary French Composition (Nelson's Modern Studies Series, No. 5) Author: R. L. Græme Ritchie, M.A., D.Litt. and James M. Moore, M.A. Publisher: Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd., London, Edinburgh, Paris, Melbourne, Toronto, and New York Publication Year: Reprint edition, circa 1946 (based on pri…nting history: first published 1930; reprinted 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934 (twice), 1935, 1937, 1939, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1946 (twice)) Binding: Hardcover, green cloth boards with embossed lantern motif on front cover. No dust jacket, as issued. Pages: Approximately 172 pp., including preface, contents, vocabulary, index of passages for translation, and illustrations. This is a charming vintage educational textbook designed for elementary French composition, part of Nelson's "Modern Studies" series under the general editorship of Professor Græme Ritchie. Aimed at school students, it provides graded exercises in French writing, focusing on verb tenses (present, perfect, future, imperfect, etc.), vocabulary building, and translation passages. The preface explains its purpose: to aid beginners in composing simple French sentences, drawing from Cambridge University Press materials for "First" and "Second" French Courses. Content includes sections on verb conjugations, sample dialogues (e.g., "A Conversation" on p. 32, "The Perfect Good" on p. 33, "We Cross the Channel" on p. 56), and illustrated stories like "Our Dog" (p. 17), "The Dipper's Nest" (p. 48), and "Moonlight" (p. 49). Features delightful period illustrations. As an ex-school library copy from Luton High School, this book offers a snapshot of mid-20th-century British education, with the checkout ledger providing social history interest—tracking postwar students' use over nearly a decade. Ideal for collectors of vintage language textbooks, educational memorabilia, or local Luton/Bedfordshire history. Despite wear, it remains a functional and evocative piece from the era of rationing and reconstruction. Condition: Good overall for a vintage school textbook, with signs of heavy use commensurate with age and educational context. Exterior: Green cloth covers show moderate fading and rubbing particularly to spine and edges. Corners bumped and frayed; spine worn with minor fraying. Front cover has faint handwritten inscriptions (possibly "English" or similar, faded). Back cover has some staining and scuffs. Binding is sound but with some looseness from use. Interior: Pages are age-toned but clean and unmarked except for occasional pencil notes or underlining in exercises (e.g., future tense conjugations on p. 37). Ex-library from Luton High School (Bedfordshire, UK), with library label on front pastedown (No. 27, "Luton High School Library (Text Books)"), and a checkout record sheet listing student borrowers from 1949-1958, including names like Barbara Baron (Pre. 5C, 1949), Rosemary Dixon (IV M, 1950), V. Wrycroft (IV M, 1951), Sidney Morley (IV A, 1952), Janet Morley (IV S, 1953), Patricia Volger (IV C, 1953), Mollie Bingham (II A, 1954-55), Kathleen Huckstep (II C, 1955-56), Marjorie Rainford (II C, 1956-57), and Billie Major (IV B, 1957-58). Endpapers have tape remnants and minor foxing. No major tears or missing pages, but light creasing in places. Illustrations intact, including black-and-white drawings. The illustrations in "Elementary French Composition" were created by Marcel Jeanjean (1893-1973), a French artist, illustrator, and poster designer. He was a World War I aviator who became known for his aeronautical-themed works, including books, drawings, and posters. Jeanjean was appointed as an official painter to the French Ministry of Air in 1931. His style often featured whimsical, detailed line drawings. Marcel Jeanjean (illustrator).

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Back in print after over a decade: the playful and genre-shattering memoir of a beloved surrealist known for her gender-bending portraitureFirst published in 1930 by anti-fascist, avant-garde publisher Editions du Carrefour in Paris as Aveux non Avenus, Cancelled Confessions (or Disavowals) is… Claude Cahun's wildly radical answer to an invitation to write a memoir. Shattering the very premise of the "memoir"--the singularity of identity--into sharp and prismatic fragments, Cahun assembles an ever-mutating inquiry into the instability of "self" and its many masks.Using a multitude of forms (fables, jokes, aphorisms, letters, dialogues, dreams, hymns, pronouncements, etc.), to plumb the subjects of desire, love, gender, sex, fear, faith, religion and vanity (among others), Cancelled Confessions (or Disavowals) is a tour-de-force work of resistance: it provokes the reader to enter the capacious, provocative, playful and deeply imaginative space constructed by Cahun in defiance of all categorization, to repudiate a delimited, censured world and embrace, instead, the outcasts and cast-offs, the unknowable and the unknown.Thoughtfully redesigned to emulate the original artist's book, this revised edition of the out-of-print English translation by Susan de Muth--originally published in the UK by the Tate in 2007 and in the US by MIT Press in 2008--includes novelist and critic Pierre Mac Orlan's original 1930 preface along with contemporary essays by scholar Amelia Groom and translator de Muth. Almost 100 years old, Cancelled Confessions is not only prescient, but urgent: "It is not enough to be vanquished, you also have to turn defeat to your advantage."Born in France in 1894, Claude Cahun (nee Lucy Renee Mathilde Schwob) was a writer, artist and anti-fascist activist, associated with the Surrealists, yet who was obscure for decades. Cahun's shape-shifting, gender-bending, "self" portraits--made in collaboration with Marcel Moore (nee Suzanne Malherbe, aka l'autre moi, "the other me")--feature Cahun in androgynous garb with shaved head, or elaborately costumed and adorned with makeup or masks, often with mirrors or doubling, always multiplying the "I." These are the most recognizable works in a highly subversive, multiform oeuvre that includes Aveux non Avenus (Cancelled Confessions) as well as more untranslated writings. Now embraced as a pioneer of queer and feminist expression and heralded for a daring and inventive, years-long resistance to the Nazi occupation of the Isle of Jersey, Cahun created art--and a life--that aimed to disrupt societal, political and artistic orthodoxies with courage, wit and imagination. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Moore, Marcel (illustrator).
