Aggiungi al carrelloCloth. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: near fine. First Edition, First Printing. Octavo, [8], 308pp, [map], [appendix], [4]. Blue cloth, title stamped on the spine. The first printing, with no additional printings noted. Cloth torn on the spine, soiling to spine. Front hinge starting, but stable. Occasional foxing th…roughout. Frontispiece portrait of Count Luckner, numerous illustrated plates, endpaper maps. In the publisher's near fine dust jacket, likely married with this copy, faint soiling to spine, bright illustrations. Inscribed on the second free endpaper: "By Joe / Mr. John W. Binford / never say die! / yours Felix Count Luckner / Xmas 1936." Count Felix von Luckner (1881-1966) was a German naval officer famed for his World War I commerce-raiding exploits aboard the Seeadler, a wind-powered auxiliary cruiser he commanded with an unusual emphasis on minimizing loss of life; over an 11-month cruise in 1916-17, he captured or sank more than a dozen Allied ships while taking hundreds of prisoners without a single combat fatality. Nicknamed the "Sea Devil," he cultivated a public image of chivalry at sea, and his postwar career mixed lectures, memoir writing (The Sea Devil's Fo'c'sle, The Sea Devil), and occasional controversy tied to his status as a nationalist symbol during the Weimar and early Nazi periods, though he later distanced himself from the regime. His dramatic escape attempts after the Seeadler was wrecked on Mopelia Island-culminating in a brief recapture after seizing a small boat-added to his legend. The first edition of Count Luckner, The Sea Devil, by Lowell Thomas, inscribed by Count Felix von Luckner, Captain of the SMS Seeadler. (illustratore). Signed.

Aggiungi al carrelloFirst edition of this captivating biography of German nobleman and naval officer Count Felix von Luckner. Octavo, original publisher's cloth, top stain yellow, cartographic endpapers, frontispiece of Count Felix von Luckner, illustrated with black and white photographs and drawings. Association copy, inscribed by Luckner on the…verso of the frontispiece, "May good winds fill the sails of your ship of life and God's luckiest stars guide your course but always remember that the pleasing of your dear parents remain your guiding light to bring you safe to port. To my dear young friend Bill Vanderkloot with a shipload of good wishes from the Sea-Devil, Felix Count Luckner, Detroit, II.8.51." The recipient, William Vanderkloot was an American pilot who played a notable role during World War II as a civilian aviator entrusted with high-priority missions for the British government. Most famously, he piloted Prime Minister Winston Churchill on several wartime flights, including a critical journey to Moscow in 1942, demonstrating both exceptional skill and the strategic importance of transatlantic aviation in Allied diplomacy. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. Count Luckner: The Sea Devil by Lowell Thomas is a vivid biographical account of Count Felix von Luckner, a German naval officer renowned for his audacious exploits during World War I. Known for commanding the commerce raider Seeadler, Luckner earned international fame for capturing enemy ships with minimal violence, embodying a chivalric ideal of naval warfare that contrasted sharply with the brutality of modern conflict. Thomas, a master of narrative nonfiction, presents Luckner as both a swashbuckling adventurer and a humane combatant, crafting a romanticized yet compelling portrait that appealed to interwar readers fascinated by heroism and maritime adventure. The book blends historical detail with dramatic storytelling, contributing to Lucknerâs enduring legend as âThe Sea Devil.â.
