Auction #1 Lot #10: The Hawke Ascendancy: A Definitive Account Of Its Origins And Climax 1975-1983 (1984) By Paul Kelly

Bid At: https://www.tallyhochap.com/product-page/the-hawke-ascendancy-a-definitive-account-of-its-origins-1984-by-paul-kelly

Twenty-five years after becoming prime minister, Bob Hawke's rise to power is still one of the most dramatic political narratives this country has known. The Hawke Ascendancy tells the story of the Labor Party's return to office in 1983 after its crushing defeat in 1975. It is the inside account of three men--Bob Hawke, Malcolm Fraser and Bill Hayden--and their unique power struggle.

This definitive work deals with the personality clashes, policy achievements and power struggles in both the Labor and Liberal parties. Hawke, alienated from his own party in 1975, finally broke down the doors of its opposition to him and became Labor's saviour and one of Australia's most respected prime ministers. Fraser, invulnerable and all-powerful in 1975, eventually succumbed to external pressures and internal weakness. Hayden, an initially reluctant but then aggressive leader, took Labor to the very brink only to falter himself. And the ruthlessly ambitious John Howard was biding his time . . .

In this installment of his incisive and compelling analysis of modern Australian politics, Paul Kelly sketches the triumph and tragedy of individuals against the big issues of the era--economic management, resources development and Australia's place in the world. The Hawke Ascendancy is, above all, a gripping inside account of how Australian politics really works.

'Kelly writes a gripping political narrative that also has the powerful overtones of Shakespearian tragedy.' - The Australian Financial Review

'Kelly at his best is a wordsmith and analyst without peer among those who make their living observing and reporting national politics.' - Alan Ramsey

'A superb account of dramatic political events.' - Laurie Oakes

Auction #1 Lot #6: London Under Elizabeth: A Survey (1890) By John Stow

Bid Now At: https://www.tallyhochap.com/product-page/london-under-elizabeth-a-survey-1890-by-john-stow

Also Titled for those who love a bit of Olde English "A Survay of London Contayning the Originall, Antiquity, Increase, Moderne Estate, and Description of that Citie, Written in the year 1598"

Stow’s Survey of London, from its first publication in 1598, has taken rank as the first authority on the history of London, but this very fame has been the cause of some injury to the unity of the work, owing to the additions of successive editors, whose words have often been quoted as if they were written by the original author, although often referring to occurrences long after Stow’s death.

What the reader of to-day wants, is the original work as it left the hands of the veteran antiquary, or as nearly as the change of spelling allows, because this gives him a vivid picture of Elizabethan London—the city in which Shakespeare lived and worked among a multitude of the men and women of those “spacious days,” respecting whom we are all eager to learn something more. The Survey is a masterpiece of topographical literature written by a Londoner of ripe experience, who was interested in everything that occurred around him.

Stow founded his work upon documents of great value collected by himself, and also upon the splendid series of manuscripts belonging to the city of London, to which he had access as “fee’d chronicler” of the corporation.

The great charm of the book to the general reader is to be found in the personal touches by which we are informed of changes and incidents which occurred in Stow’s own experience.

Auction #1 Lot #4: History Of The Jews Vol. I: From the Earliest Period to the Death of Simonthe Maccabee (135 B. C. E.) (1891) By Heinrich Graetz

Bid Now At: https://www.tallyhochap.com/product-page/history-of-the-jews-vol-i-from-the-earliest-period-1891-by-heinrich-graetz

The History of the Jews is written in a fluent and literary style and presents a picturesque and heroic account of the entire history of the Jewish people, emphasizing Jewish suffering and nationalistic aspirations. Despite criticism of his methods and viewpoint, Graetz displayed an astonishing knowledge of this broad subject, and the History of the Jews was widely translated and went through many editions. It quickly became a standard work, greatly influencing future historians of Judaism.

Graetz’s great achievement was his 11-volume Geschichte der Juden von den ältesten Zeiten bis auf die Gegenwart (1853–76; “History of the Jews from Oldest Times to the Present”); a condensed English version was published as History of the Jews, 6 vol. (1891–98). This book is Volume I.
