Caroline PICHLER Agathocles, ou lettres écrites de Rome et de Grèce, au commencement du quatrième siècle

Caroline PICHLER

Agathocles, ou lettres écrites de Rome et de Grèce, au commencement du quatrième siècle

Chez Blanchard et Eymery, Paris 1812, 4 tomes en 4 Vol. in 12 (10x17,5cm), 246pp. (1) et 239pp. et 255pp. et 281pp., quatre volumes reliés.


Original French edition, translated by Isabelle Montolieu. Illustrated with a frontispiece by Le Cerf. The title page of Volume 1 is normally replaced by two sheets of catalog. Full Calf rooted contemporary. Smooth back decorated with two boxes to the Grotesque, urn irons and multiple wheels. Red part of title and volume number black. Charming series, decorative. Some scuffs, a little lack a cap. Caroline Pichler was born in Vienna in 1769. It was early classified as child prodigies, and his first novel was born in 1799, but with Agathocles (1808) she quickly experienced success and was translated across Europe. Here's what we found in the Universal bibliography Michaud about it: This book, which was born in the era of the publication of the Martyrs of Chateaubriand, based on the same basis, and is only the development of the same idea in a different form. Nothing is more curious and more interesting than comparing these two compounds works for the same purpose and in the same time, in languages and countries so different. "(See translator's note that exonerates Ms. Pichler any possible imitation ). Caroline Pichler was long the center of the Viennese literary life thanks to her salon, she published her last novel in 1840. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
