Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. No Jacket. Gilboa, David (illustratore). In Hebrew, vowelized 160 pages. 21 x 14 cm. With full page illustrationsr. Re-backed by master bookbinder/restorer. Boards stained. Pages have water stains and are a little wavy, having been exposed to water. The author, Hugh John Lofting (14 January 1886 Maidenhead, Berkshire, England - 26 September 1947) was born to Elizabeth Agnes (Gannon) and John Brien Lofting, of English and Irish ancestry. He was a civil engineer turned writer. His eldest brother, Hilary Lofting, later became a novelist in Australia, having emigrated there in 1915. Lofting was educated at Mount St Mary's College in Spinkhill, Derbyshire. From 1905 to 1906, he studied civil engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. He travelled widely as a civil engineer before enlisting in the Irish Guards regiment of the British Army in the First World War. He was seriously wounded in the war. When he wrote his children from the trenches of WWI he did not want to alarm them with the brutality all around him and so he created what became a classic children's literature character: Doctor Dolittle. It first appeared in the illustrated letters to his children, written in the British Army trenches of the Great War. These letters became the foundation of the latger Doctor Dolittle novels for children. In 1919 Lofting moved with his family to Killingworth, Connecticut. He was married three times and had three children, one of whom, Christopher, became the executor of his literary estate. The character Doctor John Dolittle is an English physician from "Puddleby-on-the-Marsh" in the West Country, who can converse with animals. The stories are set in early Victorian England in the 1820s to the 1840s. The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle gives a date of 1839. The Story of Doctor Dolittle: Being the History of His Peculiar Life at Home and Astonishing Adventures in Foreign Parts Never Before Printed (1920) began the series and won him a posthumous Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958. The sequel The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922) won a Newbery Medal. Eight more books followed, and after Lofting's death, two more appeared, composed of short, previously unpublished pieces.

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 - 18 January 1936) was a British author and poet, born in India, and best known for his children's books, including The Jungle Book (1894), The Second Jungle Book (1895), Just So Stories (1902), and Puck of Pook's Hill (1906); his novel, Kim (1901); his poems, including Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), and "If" (1895); and his many short stories, including The Man Who Would Be King (1888) and the collections Life's Handicap (1891), The Day's Work (1898), and Plain Tales from the Hills (1888). He is regarded as a major "innovator in the art of the short story"; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature; and his best work speaks to a versatile and luminous narrative gift. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in English, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author Henry James famously said of him: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, making him the first English language writer to receive the prize, and he remains today its youngest-ever recipient. Among other honours, he was offered the British poet laureateship and a knighthood, both of which he refused. However, later in life Kipling also came to be seen (in George Orwell's words) as a "prophet of British imperialism." Many saw prejudice and militarism in his works, and the resulting controversy about him continued for much of the 20th century. UncleAndy Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Hardcover.

Nahum Sokolow, Zionist leader, author, translator, and a pioneer of Hebrew journalism was born to a rabbinic family in Wyszogród, Poland (then Russian Empire), Sokolow began writing for the local Hebrew newspaper, HaTzefirah, at age 17, quickly won a huge following that crossed the boundaries of political and religious affiliation among Polish Jews, from secular intellectuals to anti-Zionist Haredim, eventually had his own regular column, then became the newspaper's senior editor and a co-owner. He was a prolific author and translator. His works include a 3 volume history of Baruch Spinoza and his times, and other biographies. He was the first to translate Theodor Herzl's utopian novel Altneuland into Hebrew, giving it the name Tel Aviv (literally, "An Ancient Hill of Spring"). which in 1909 was adopted for the first modern Hebrew-speaking city: Tel Aviv. In 1906 he was asked to serve as secretary general of the World Zionist Congress. He then spent years crisscrossing Europe and North America to promote Zionism. During World War I, he lived in London, where he was a leading advocate for the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which the British government declared its support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. On 6 Feb 1917 a meeting was held in Maida Vale with Dr Weizmann to discuss the results of the Picot convention in Paris. Sokolow and Weizmann pressed on after seizing leadership from Gaster; they were granted official recognition from the British government. At 6 Buckingham Gate on 10 Feb 1917 another was held, in a series of winter meetings in London. The generation of Anglo-Jewish Association assimilationists, Greenberg, Cowen and Gaster were stepping down or being passed over. ".those friends . in close cooperation all these years", Weizmann suggested should become the EZF Council (English Zionist Freedom) - Manchester's Sieff, Sacher and Marks, and London's Leon Simon and Samuel Tollowsky: the Zionists take over of Jewish leadership in Britain. While the war was raging outside, the Zionists prepared for an even bigger fight; the survival of their home land. They issued a statement on 11 Feb 1917, and on 12th, they received news of the Kerensky take over in Petrograd. Tsarist Russia was very anti-semitic. But incongruously this made the British government even more determined to help the Jews. Chaim Weizmann wrote to the Manchester Zionist, Harry Sacher, who became a focus for the view that Sokolow and Weizmann had capitulated; forfeiting the right to lead by "preferring British Imperialism . to Zionism". Sacher distinguished his Manchester base as different from the "London folk". He did not trust the Foreign Office, nor Weizmann's tactics. In a letter to Tollowsky, Weizmann branded Sacher as "Draufheher" - German extremist Sokolow acted as Weizmann's eyes and ears in Paris on a diplomatic mission with Sir Mark Sykes to negotiate with the French. The idea that the Jews would form a new kind of Triple Entente under the Ottoman Empire was unsettling to them. Nonetheless the delegation left for Paris on 31 March 1917. One purpose of the Entente was to strengthen the hand of Zionism in USA. "The Jews represented a powerful political and economic force.if subterranean influence". Sokolow did not know of the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement and hidden British/French understanding on Middle Eastern policy matters. He believed that he must report to Weizmann that what France really meant by a "Greater Syria", taking the whole of Palestine for themselves. In a series of letters in April and May 1917, Weizmann accused Sokolow of letting the Zionists down in negotiations with France; Sokolow countered. . .

The new king showed impatience with court protocol, and caused concern among politicians by his apparent disregard for established constitutional conventions. Only months into his reign, a constitutional crisis was caused by his proposal to marry Wallis Simpson, an American who had divorced her first husband and was seeking a divorce from her second.
