1908. [with 1908 dust jacket] A Military Tale. Illustrations by Dan Sayre Groesbeck. New York: The McClure Company, 1908. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in white, with dust jacket. First Separate (and First Illustrated, and First American) Edition. Earlier in 1908 this tale was published in England (as "The Duel") with five others in A SET OF SIX; it was this McClure publication that caused the delay in the publication of the American edition of the entire A SET OF SIX until 1915. (Also, no publisher was in a hurry to do so: in 1908 Conrad's career was at its nadir, but his star rose again after CHANCE hit it big in 1914.) This copy is in the first and usual binding, with "McClure" at the foot of the spine. (THE POINT OF HONOR was published in September 1908; by November, the publisher McClure was forced to sell his assets to Doubleday Page, and subsequently-bound copies bear the new publisher's name at the foot of the spine.) This is a fine, bright copy. Included is the very scarce color-pictorial dust jacket (reproducing the volume's frontispiece plate; the rear panel promotes a Booth Tarkington novel that was likewise published in 1908). The jacket is in near-fine condition, with very little soil (a few short edge-tears but only one shallow chip, at the top of the front panel partially impinging on the title's "NT"). We have seen only one Conrad dust jacket earlier than this (the American YOUTH, 1902). Cagle A13c.

Description:
MP3 Audio CD. The Point of Honor I Napoleon the First, whose career had the quality of a duel against the whole of Europe, disliked duelling between the officers of his army. The great military emperor was not a swashbuckler, and had little respect for tradition. Nevertheless, a story of duelling which became a legend in the army runs through the epic of imperial wars. To the surprise and admiration of their fellows, two officers, like insane artists trying to gild refined gold or paint the lily, pursued their private contest through the years of universal carnage. They were officers of cavalry, and their connection with the high-spirited but fanciful animal which carries men into battle seems particularly appropriate. It would be difficult to imagine for heroes of this legend two officers of infantry of the line, for example, whose fantasy is tamed by much walking exercise and whose valour necessarily must be of a more plodding kind. As to artillery, or engineers whose heads are kept cool on a… Read More

Description:
MP3 Audio CD. Joseph Conrad is not only considered a classic of English literature, but also one of the most accomplished and skilled authors who ever wrote in English ? a feat made even more impressive by the fact that he only learned to speak the language fluently in his twenties. The Heart of Darkness, Nostromo and The Secret Agent are just a few of his many fine novels and publications, most of which are inspired from his earlier years serving in the French and British merchant navy.The Point of Honor is a well-crafted novel that explores the curious concept of a duel turned into a twenty-year old feud. Two French Cavalier officers duel over a seemingly trivial matter during the Napoleonic era, and are soon locked into a feud that seems never-ending. Only a single time do D?Hubert and Ferraud postpone their constant fight, when they are forced to work together against the common enemy in the Russian campaign.Conrad?s work paints an extremely vivid picture of the world as it was in the early 19th… Read More
