On allmost every page the author cites from speaches of ''der Führer'', and on one page he writes that :''obviously the ship is a unique instrument in the sole hands of Hitler''.

‎Darwinism [i.e. German: ""Wahrheit und Irrthum im Darwinismus""] - [FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST BOOK ON DARWINISM, PRINTED IN ISTANBUL. ]‎

‎Istanbul, Nietzsche Hayatý ve Felsefesi, 1329 [1913]. 8vo. In later embossed full cloth binding with gilt lettering to spine. Last 10 leaves with a brown spot. Frontiespiece repaired with tape, otherwise a fine and clean copy. 127, (1) pp. + portrait of Darwin.‎

‎Rare first edition of the first book on Darwinism, printed in Istanbul. The work in Ottoman language is a translation of ""Wahrheit und Irrthum im Darwinismus"" (The Truths and Mistakes of Darwinism) by Eduard von Hartmann (1842 - 1906), first published in 1875. The translator Memduh Süleyman, who also commented the book, considered the natural evolution the biggest mistake of the Darwinism. Memduh Süleyman (1889?-1920) was an important author and translator of the last years of the Ottoman Empire. His most famous work is a book on Nietzsche, ""Nietzsche Hayat? ve Felsefesi"", from 1912, which he co-wrote in together with Ahmet Nebil-Baha Tevfik-Memduh.The book was published amidst the Ottoman debate on the Darwinism. The first mentioning of the term was made in 1863 in a magazine Mecmua-i Fünun by Münif Pasha, who was at the time serving as a minister of education and did not believe, that the development of science would or should affect the religion. In the time of the publication of the present work, Darwin's works were not yet translated into Ottoman. The first translation of On the Origin of Species in the Muslim world, was only issued in Arabic in 1918 in Cairo. Translated were only the first six chapters. For more chapters were subsequently added in 1928.OCLC list three institutional examples (Leiden University Library, Library of Congress, Huntington Library, Art Museum, & Botanical Gardens).‎

Severin August von Bülow (1812-95) or it could be General-Lieutnant Carl Ernst Johan Bülow (1814-1890) who was a member of the Danish legation to the English Court from 1865 to 1880.

Arthur Honegger composed the music to Morax's play and the music became his break-through as a composer.""Arthur Honegger was commissioned to write incidental music to accompany René Morax’s play Le Roi David in 1921. Honegger was given the nearly impossible deadline of 2 months to complete the work and was rewarded with much acclaim at the premiere. In 1923 he combined Morax’s narrative with his music and created a ""symphonic psalm,"" the form that is familiar today, and titled his work Le Roi David.""(Wikipedia)‎

‎Niek Kemps Energie sombre dans une nuit blanche ‎

‎BE, MER.paperkunsthalle, 2006 Hardback, 215x140mm, 64p, Dutch (NL) edition . ISBN 9076979375.‎

‎Raamwerk over vier etages van Niek Kemps in Het Sieraad Beeldend kunstenaar Niek Kemps (1952) maakte in opdracht van Ymere een raamwerk voor het trappenhuis van Het Sieraad, de voormalige edelsmedenschool aan de Postjesweg. Ymere heeft dit Rijksmonument in het afgelopen jaar grondig gerenoveerd. Het binnenterrein werd door een glazen koepel overdekt en het monumentale trappenhuis dat eerder in de verdrukking raakte door een gymzaal, is in oude glorie hersteld. In dat trappenhuis is nu het vier etages hoge raamwerk van Niek Kemps geplaatst. Niek Kemps heeft een betoverende fotocollage op het glas aangebracht. In transparante folies over elkaar, zie je portretten van heel dichtbij, figuren van veraf, en nog verder vanaf een afstand zie je wandelende mensen op een plein. Die verschillende belevingen van afstand in de collage en de veelheid aan beelden vormen op een afstand een fraai geheel. Van dichterbij bekeken leveren ze een verrassende ontdekkingstocht naar herkenbare beelden op. Dichtbij en ver weg worden zo ook in de functie van het werk geaccentueerd De bewegingen van gebruikers in het trappenhuis vormen - als het ware - een extra laag in het werk van Kemps. Om die reden liet hij een verlichtingsplan ontwerpen dat het raamwerk zo belicht, dat de traplopers vanuit het atrium bezien onderdeel van het kunstwerk worden. In het trappenhuis zelf wordt niet alleen door de verlichting ruimtelijkheid gecreeerd. Deze ontstaat ook doordat het raam iets uitkraagt en door de manier waarop je de gelaagde beelden op het raam ervaart. Die gelaagde beelden worden geaccentueerd door een lijnentekening aan de binnenkant van het glaswerk, die wordt voortgezet op de wanden van het trappenhuis. This publication accompanies a public art project by Ymere, for which artist Niek Kemps was commissioned to make a work for the stairwell?s window of Het Sieraad; Amsterdam?s restored monument and formal crafts school for goldsmithing. Kemps? works are characterised by fragmentation. He manipulates and leads the viewer to semi-covered and layered images, which stimulate new or other interpretations. The book shows images of the window work by Kemps in addition to short essays of Elsbeth Brouwer and Philip van den Bossche. ‎
