This book was made into a movie a few years later starring Barbara Stanwyck. According to the summary at IMDB.com, Megan Davis goes to Shanghai during the Chinese revolution to marry a missionary. She is separated from her fiance and rescued by General Yen. At his palace, she defends Yen's mistress, who is suspected of giving secrets to the enemy. ... I can't say if the plot is consistent between the movie and the book, but this gives a bit of the idea.

Autobiography of Sarah Bernhardt, 456 pp
Fascinating if sometimes maddening autobiography of a remarkable actress, artist and humanitarian. The maddening part is in what she leaves out. Suddenly she seems to acquire a son, though no mention of when or how ... To this day, people refer to certain spoiled diva-like personalities on a par to Sarah Bernhardt. To read this book is to both understand how this was earned and yet how it's quite unfair. She was also a somewhat gifted sculptor as seen in some of the photos from the book.
Sarah Bernhardt was one of the most famous stage actresses of the 19th century. She studied drama in Paris and began performing on the stage in the early 1860s. She soon became known for her charismatic, sensual and highly melodramatic performances in classical plays such as Ruy Blas and Phedre. Bernhardt toured internationally in the 1880s across Europe and the United States.

Very Good Condition - some staining on the foredge and yellowing of pages on
top edge. Marks (I think they may be pencil) on the edge of certain paragraphs
as a means of highlighting.
Description courtesy Library Journal: "Emerging from testimonies during
witchcraft trials in Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries are consistent
descriptions of the Witches' Sabbath: night flying, ritual cannibalism, etc.
Most scholars dismiss these descriptions as torture-induced gibberish. Ginzburg
(history, Univ. of California at Los Angeles) proves that these descriptions
are bastardized accounts of ecstatic experiences practiced by a shamanic culture.
In addition, he links the persecution of the witches with that of other social
outcasts (lepers, Jews, and Muslims). Europeans thought that these groups conspired
against society, which led to their wholesale slaughter. Very interesting and
very convincing."

Ex- high school Library copy . Fair to Good condition - cover faded and is starting to tear inside front and back covers. Book is fairly clean
In the preface the author recounts how this was originally published in a scaled

personal experience about digging for treasure in Syria.
Reads like a magazine, though all the ads are for Ashaway products, or products

Magazine is 8 3/8" x 11 3/8"
Good condition. I do not see any marks, but the back 5 or 6 pages have a slight
tear.
On the cover is the then and still reigning record catch. Says an old Sports Illustrated "In 1953 a dream came true for Alfred Glassell Jr. when he wrestled a 1,560-pound black marlin with a rod and reel for nearly two hours and boated the record catch." According to Wikipedia, In 1953, he set the world record for the largest marlin ever caught on a hand-held rod and reel. At 1,560 pounds, this record remains today, and the worlds largest game fish resides on view at the Smithsonian Institution". And as the.Ashaway magazine, states, Mr Glassell used Ashaway line.
Also included is an ad for Ted Williams fishing line. All you older sportsmen of course know that Ted Williams (Boston Red Sox #9), was not only one of the best hitters in professional baseball, but an intrepid fishing sportsman as well.
