Dutton (for Saxo Bank) 2009 1168Sider. Halfcloth in hardback in dust jacket Very nice copy First thus. 35th anniversary edition with a new introduction by Leonard Peikoff. Special edition for Saxo Bank. Foreword by SAXO BANK: Kim Fournais & Lars Seier Christensen. The English editon of the book that has been translated into Danish under the title 'Og verden skælvede'. Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Ayn Rand, first published in 1957 in the United States. Rand's fourth and last novel, it was also her longest, and the one she considered to be her magnum opus in the realm of fiction writing. The book explores a dystopian United States where leading innovators, ranging from industrialists to artists, refuse to be exploited by society leading to millionaires going on strike. The only clue to this strange circumstance is the enigmatic question ""Who is John Galt?"" which turns out to be a significant foreshadowing of the book's premises. The protagonist, Dagny Taggart, sees society collapse around her as the government increasingly asserts control over all industry (including Taggart Transcontinental, the once mighty transcontinental railroad for which she serves as the Vice President of Operations), while society's most productive citizens, led by this mysterious John Galt, progressively disappear. Galt describes the strike as ""stopping the motor of the world"" by withdrawing the ""minds"" that drive society's growth and productivity. In their efforts, these people ""of the mind"" hope to demonstrate that a world in which the individual is not free to create is doomed, that civilization cannot exist where every person is a slave to society and government, and that the destruction of the profit motive leads to the collapse of society. The novel's title is a reference to Atlas, a Titan of Greek mythology, who in the novel is described as ""the giant who holds the weight of the world on his shoulders"". The significance of this reference is seen in a conversation between the characters of Francisco d'Anconia and Hank Rearden in which d'Anconia asks of Rearden what sort of advice he would give to Atlas upon seeing that ""the greater [the titan's] effort the heavier the world bore down on his shoulders"". With Rearden unable to answer, Francisco gives his own response: ""To shrug"". Atlas Shrugged includes elements of mystery and science fiction,and it contains Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism in any of her works of fiction via a lengthy monologue delivered by the strike's leader, John Galt.The theme of Atlas Shrugged, as Rand described it, is ""the role of man's mind in existence"".

Faber 1977. 884p.Sider. Private threequarter calfbinding. Very nice copy. The Alexandria Quartet: Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive & Clea. The Alexandria Quartet is a tetralogy of novels by British writer Lawrence Durrell, published between 1957 and 1960. A critical and commercial success, the first three books present three perspectives on a single set of events and characters in Alexandria, Egypt, before and during the Second World War. The fourth book is set six years later. As Durrell explains in his preface to Balthazar, the four novels are an exploration of relativity and the notions of continuum and subject object relation, with modern love as the theme. The Quartet's first three books offer the same sequence of events through several points of view, allowing individual perspectives of a single set of events. The fourth book shows change over time.

Efter bestået filosofikum tog han halvhjertet fat på et studium i jura og statskundskab, som efter excellencens hensigt skulle føre ham frem til en karriere i diplomatiet. Men reelt foretrak han at flanere omkring ude i byen for oldingens gavmildt udstrøede penge og æstetisere og kæle for sin barndomsdrøm om at blive skuespiller. Sin toårige tilknytning til den berømte gamle læges hjem skildrede han siden i stærkt iscenesat form i mindebogen Det graa Hus.

Forlagt af Th. Lind 1883 304+258+166s.Sider. Privat halvfablea uden rygtitel i guld. Udmærket eksemplar. 3 ""ens"" Dele i 3 Bind - Madam Mangor, egl. Anna Marie Mangor, 1781-1865, dansk kogebogsforfatter. Madam Mangor udgav i 1837 Kogebog for smaa Husholdninger, i 1840 Syltebog for smaa Husholdninger og i 1841 en fortsættelse af kogebogen. Bøgerne blev senere samlet og udkom frem til 1910 i mange oplag. Madam Mangors værk har ingen teoretiske tilgange; det er skabt ud fra praksis, gennemprøvet og nøjagtigt med angivelse af mål og vægt. Det er gennembruddet for kogebøger skrevet til den forudsætningsløse, og det dækkede et stort behov i en periode præget af opbrud og vandringer fra land til by. Hun udgav senere bl.a. en børnebog og i 1864 Kogebog for Soldater i Felten.
