Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'A trained scout will see little signs and tracks, he puts them together in his mind and quickly reads a meaning from them such as an untrained man would never arrive at.' A startling amalgam of Zulu war-cry and imperial and urban myth, of borrowed tips on health and hygiene, and object lessons in woodcraft, Robert Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys (1908) is the original blueprint and 'self-instructor' of the Boy Scout Movement. An all-time bestseller in the English-speaking world, second only to the Bible, this primer of 'yarns and pictures' constitutes probably the most influential manual for youth ever published. Yet the book is at the same time a roughly composed hodge-podge of jingoist lore and tracker legend, padded with lengthy quotations from adventure fiction and B-P's own autobiography, and seamed through with the multiple anxieties of its time: fears of degeneration, concerns about masculinity and self-restraint, invasion paranoia. Elleke Boehmer's edition of Scouting for Boys is the first to reprint the original text and illustrations, and her fine introduction investigates a book that has been cited as an authority by militarists and pacifists, capitalists and environmentalists alike. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Risse. A startling amalgam of Zulu war-cry and Sherlock Holmes, this work is the original blueprint for the Boy Scout Movement. An all-time bestseller in the English-speaking world, it is one of the most influential manuals for youth ever published. This new critical edition includes all of Baden-Powell's original illustrations and offers a rich mix of true crime stories, moral lessons, adventure tales, natural history, first-aid tips, and advice on observation and tracking. Readers will encounter a pastiche of jingoist lore and tracker legend, interspersed with lengthy quotations from adventure fiction by authors like Rudyard Kipling and Arthur Conan Doyle, reflecting the anxieties of its time, including fears of degeneration and looming war. Alongside practical instructions on lighting fires and building boats, it covers themes of chivalry, self-discipline, self-improvement, and citizenship. The book embodies Baden-Powell's philosophy of prioritizing service, country, and duty over self. An introduction by Elleke Boehmer highlights its complexity, while her notes clarify obscure references. Despite being nearly a century old, this work continues to captivate and inspire readers today, appealing to those interested in popular culture, Victorian history, and children's literature.
