Description:
Edinburgh: William Blackwood and sons, 1898 In 8s (171 x 111 mm): Pp [i-viii], [1] 2-176. Publisher's slate-blue cloth lettered and decorated in black, plain wove endpapers, no headbands, all edges trimmed & plain. Free endpapers somewhat browned, spine sunned, withal A REMARKABLY FINE COPY. *** Last edition; comprising 'a biographical sketch of La Fontaine followed by a commentary on his fables with an emphasis upon stylistic considerations. Short background discussions of earlier fabulists and the Reynard cycle and brief mention of later fabulists and La Fontaine's influence upon them.' (Carnes 210n.) The first edition was published at Edinburgh by Blackwood in 1882; and an American issue or edition appeared at Philadelphia in the same year. The present edition is remarkably scarce, perhaps on account of its having been used as a schoolbook: Only two other copies have been located, and none in America. -- References: OCLC 11802681.

Description:
Venlo (The Netherlands): Uitgeverij Van Spijk, 1995 ¶ ONLY EDITION of the only monograph on the paintings of Jean-Michel Lengrand (1955– ), a contemporary French artist working mainly in oils on panel and employing materials and techniques descended from those of the Netherlandish masters of the fifteenth century; SIGNED by the artist. His work is almost unknown in the book world — and in America —; and yet a remarkably large number of his pictures will be OF EXCEPTIONAL INTEREST TO BOOKMEN: These include richly anthropomorphic portraits of writers (La Fontaine), scientists (Newton, Linnaeus, Darwin), and at least one printer (Gutenberg); subjects from Classical and early modern literature (Circe, Quixote) and fables (‘The wolf and the lamb’); and ‘archetypes’ in which books themselves appear as the elements of composition (Babel as a tower of books, the Ark built entirely of books). Lengrand is no illustrator; but rather he creates a parallel universe of… Read More

Description:
Paris: Gustave Barba, 1860 ¶ A SCARCE AND VERY VALUABLE COMPILATION comprising 232 moral fables in French verse, selected from the works of 127 fabulists other than La Fontaine and INCLUDING A FABLE ATTRIBUTED TO NAPOLÉON BONAPARTE, said to have been composed by him as a schoolboy at Brienne-le-Château. Each fabulist's work here is prefaced by a short bio-bibliographical note, ranging from two or three lines to a quarter page: Together these notes amount to a rudimentary BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE MINOR FRENCH FABULISTS circa 1530 - 1851, documenting some 140 fable-books in all. The editor inserts five of his own fables as well, explaining that 'Après avoir réuni les matériaux du présent recueil, il doit s'excuser d'y avoir inséré les fables suivantes, qui le déparent peut-être, mais qui ont l'avantage d'être inédites'. The whole work is prefaced by an essay on the history of the fable genre. The illustrator was… Read More

Description:
Mézières: Éditions de la Société des Écrivains Ardennais, 1933     ¶ ONLY EDITION of an early metaphysical interpretation: "Sous le nom de pays d'Orient, Rimbaud recherche le monde de son enfance qu'un incompréhensible déluge a balayé. Dans le brouillard d'enchantement qui obscurcit toutes choses depuis, il essaie de reconstruire sans imaginer l'univers disparu. L'Esprit est la clef de cette résurrection. Ce qu'il nomme Génie, c'est la Vie, ou mieux toutes les possibilités de vie. Il suffit de voir. Mais ce monde nouveau, purement matériel, ne tient pas compte d'une terrible réalité: la mort. C'est la faiblesse du système qui causera sa ruine, car Rimbaud n'admet rien hors la certitude. Une Saison en Enfer est l'écho du duel passionné de l'esprit chrétien et de l'esprit païen."
