Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Second Impression. 1968. Second impression of the first English translation (the work was first published in L'Annee Sociologique, in France, 1898). ix, 165pp. Marcel Mauss was the nephew and most distinguished pupil of Émile Durkheim, whose review L'Année sociologique he helped to found and edit. Henri Hubert was another member of the group of sociologists who developed under the influence of Durkheim. The subject of the present book is at the center of the comparative study of religion. The authors describe a basic sacrifice drawn from Indian sources and show what is fundamental and constant, comparing Indian and Hebrew practices in particular, then Greek and Roman, then additional practices from many eras and cultures. The essay emphasizes the variety within sacrificial practice and the potential incompatibility of sacrifice and totemism. It proposes an origin for sacrifice of a god (as in Christianity) rather than to gods, and having defined sacrifice as effecting communication between the sacred and profane, explores its function. The book is bound in the original dark blue cloth covered boards with copper titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with bumping to the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean with a large part of the top corner of the front free endpaper cut off (presumably to remove an inscription). The dustwrapper has some shelf wear with light soiling and the spine is faded with light bumping to the top of the spine. The front flap has not been price clipped but there is a stain around the bottom corner and traces on an old sticker that had been placed over the printed price.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition in English. A later printing of the first edition in English translation, published in 1924 in the Popular Edition of the Works of Anatole France. Translated from the French by A. W. Evans. The John Lane translation was originally published in 1909, a year after the book came out in France, published by Calmann-Lévy as "L'Île des Pingouins". ***Very good in pale orange cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles and rules on the spine, and blind-stamped titles and rules on the front board. The gilt is still beautifully bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. The boards are clean and undamaged, with just some light dust soiling at the edges. No bumps or tears to the cloth, just slight creasing to the top and tail of the spine. Corners sharp, with just a slight crease to the top corner tip of the front board. Top edge of page block slightly darkened but not foxed. Fore edge slightly foxed. Internally also very good with a contemporary gift inscription - 'Kathleen Mary Hill from Dad, Jan 27th 1925' - on the front pastedown. Pages clean and fresh without any creasing. Printed on thin but nice quality paper. ***In a very good original printed dustwrapper, which is priced 2/6 net on the spine. The dustwrapper is complete without any chips or tears. There is some edge wear and rubbing but no loss. Light strips of fading around the spine of the dustwrapper, and some slight browning to the spine of the dustwrapper. Dustwrapper bright. ***345 pages including a two-page publisher's advertisement at the back of the book. 190 mm x 130 mm. ***'Anatole France, born François-Anatole Thibault (16 April 1844 - 12 October 1924), was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie Française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament.' ***'"Penguin Island" is written in the style of a sprawling 18th and 19th-century history book, concerned with grand metanarratives, mythologizing heroes, hagiography and romantic nationalism. It is about a fictitious island, inhabited by great auks, that existed off the northern coast of Europe. The history begins when a wayward Christian missionary monk lands on the island and perceives the upright, unafraid auks as a sort of pre-Christian society of noble pagans. Mostly blind from reflections from the polar ice and somewhat deaf from the roar of the sea, having mistaken the animals for humans, he baptizes them. This causes a problem for The Lord, who normally only allows humans to be baptized. After consulting with saints and theologians in Heaven, He resolves the dilemma by converting the baptized birds to humans with only a few physical traces of their ornithological origin, and giving them each a soul. Thus begins the history of Penguinia, and from there forward the history mirrors that of France (and more generally of Western Europe, including German-speaking areas and the British Isles).' [Wiki] ***A later printing of the first edition in English translation, published in 1924 in the Popular Edition of the Works of Anatole France, complete in its original dustwrapper. A nice production of this famous work of French literature - preceding the more commonly found 1929 illustrated edition. A well-preserved copy of this famous work in an attractive format. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
