Beschreibung

This is "The Making of a Mind : Letters from a Soldier - Priest, 1914 - 1919" by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. It is the 1965 First English Edition of the translation by René Hague from the original French ("Genèse D'Un Pensée"). Graced with a handsome frontispiece photograph of Teilhard de Chardin in uniform, the book was published by Collins in London in hardcover format. It is a revealing book for anyone who wishes to delve deeper into the genesis of one of the most fascinating minds of the Twentieth Century. The book is now out of print. ********************************** From the dust-jacket blurb : "Teilhard de Chardin joined the French army in December 1914. Throughout the four and a half years he spent as a stretcher-bearer in the front lines, he corresponded regularly with his cousin, Marguerite Teilhard-Chambon. Intellectually and spiritually they had much in common, and Teilhard wrote freely of all that affected him. Through the letters we can observe intimately the development of his ideas and personality --- and also his reactions to the war." [ World War I ] ********************************** TITLE : The Making of a Mind : Letters from a Soldier - Priest, 1914 - 1919 [English translation of "Genèse D'Un Pensée"] / AUTHOR : Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881 - 1955) / TRANSLATOR : René Hague / IMPRINT : Collins and Co. / PLACE : London / DATE : 1965 / EDITION : First Edition / STATUS : Out of Print - OP / DETAILS : Trade hardcover; has a photo - frontispiece; contains a Preface and an Index; [316] pages; approximately 5 1/2" x 8 1/4"; textured paper-covered boards and spine with gilt lettering stamped on spine (Paper over the boards is designed to replicate cloth and has been given a charcoal-gray color); printed dust-jacket. ********************************* CONDITION . BOOK : NEAR VERY GOOD … JACKET : GOOD ONLY … This is a previously owned book that has seen use but which remains clean, solid and serviceable, with the following particulars noted :: EXTERIOR : Gilt lettering on spine is bright; spine extremities are compressed; board corner tips are bumped with attendant small splitting to paper; bottom board edges are shelf-worn; boards are clean; text-block edges are weathered and display small spotting, else clear. / BINDING : Solid. No leaves are detached or loose. / INTERIOR : There is a small stamp from Anglican book Center in Christchurch on the front free end-paper; a small number is inked at the top of the title page; there is some toning to paper (this to the recto of the half-title), as well as considerable amount of scattered, light foxing throughout the book; no writing, no underlining or marginalia, no signatures. It is obvious that the book has been read. / DUST - JACKET : Considerable wear and surface loss and small holes to spine panel; small loss to flap folds (to me, this, and the spine panel, look like silverfish effects); scattered small smudges. The whole is protected from further wear by a clear mylar cover. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2389
