ANONYME

Le fourbe puni, ou le duel des rivales. [Ensemble] Lettres infernales et Les tisons

S.n. ; Aux enfers, s.l. 1740, in-12 (9,5x16,7cm), (2) 181pp. ; (4) 123pp., relié.


First edition, rare. The second book is also the first edition, adorned with a frontispiece representing the devil handing a letter to a gentleman. Full Calf blond contemporary. Back tooled raised. Part of title in red morocco. A tear p. 127. Caps slightly threadbare. Excellent small anonymous novel, typical in its construction and writing of the first half of the eighteenth century, which narrates the encounter between a gentleman and a duelist, the largest woman he had ever seen; it will eventually tell her story of love and give an explanation for this curious duel. The second book, satirical, denounces and ridicules critical number of subjects with a biting tone for the strange. Some references seem abstruse hidden. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate. Contact us for any information!
