Among the olive trees and under the Mediterranean sun, Lawrence Durrell met in the mid-1960s the young and vivacious "Jany" (Janine Brun), a woman from Montpellier in her thirties of devastating beauty, who worked at the Antiquities department of the Sorbonne in Paris. She was nicknamed "Buttons" in memory of their first meeting, where the young girl wore a dress covered with buttons. Henry Miller also fell under the charm of "Buttons," praising her beauty and eternal youth in exceptional unpublished letters. The three companions spent memorable Parisian evenings of which we keep precious autograph traces through their epistolary exchanges. Recommended by Durrell, she made numerous trips notably to England from where she received vast correspondence from the writer as well as original works of art signed with his artist pseudonym, Oscar Epfs.

First edition illustrated with 36 steel engravings outside the text by Wilhelm Von Kaulbach, including 17 engraved by Rudolfe Rahn, 17 by Adrian Scheich, one by Steifendand and one last unsigned. One engraved half-title. Text within a border. Gothic typeface. Head- and tailpieces. Not only do the engravings approach perfection, but Kaulbach's animal compositions are among the finest of their kind. The human personification of the animals is indeed highly developed and perfectly staged, one must see the incredible orgy on page 125, the most complete scene of debauchery where intoxication, gluttony and eroticism seize upon the most diverse animals.
Spectacular publisher's binding in full glazed pink calf. Spine decorated with a large plate of interlaced ornaments. Large plate on the upper cover with Renard in armor at the center, conducted on a chariot drawn by griffons and multiple ornaments. White watered endpapers.

A thin split in the leather at the upper joint at the head extending 0.5cm; the leather is also very narrowly split at the lower joint at the foot extending 3 cm. Traces of rubbing on the edges. Scattered foxing on particularly white paper. This foxing is often concentrated at the location of the tissue guards which remain present. Despite the defects, a very handsome copy.
Goethe wrote his own version of the romance of Reynard in 1794, a collection of medieval texts featuring Reynard the Fox. The term Renard which became established indeed comes from Reineke.

Jonathan Wild was the most famous criminal of the 18th century, and the most popular. Daniel Defoe composed a biography of him in 1725. Fielding writes a satirical biography of a man whose entire ambition is to be great. He thus establishes a vast satire of supposed greatness in 18th-century society, a renown that is by no means distant from our own.

Handsome copy.
Autograph inscription signed by Lawrence Durrell to his close friend Janine Brun.

After many years spent in Greece, Egypt and Rhodes, the travel writer Lawrence Durrell was forced to flee Cyprus following popular uprisings that led the island to its independence from the British crown. Rich only in a shirt and a typewriter but crowned with the success of his novel Bitter Lemons of Cyprus (Les citrons acides), he arrived in France in 1956 and settled in the Languedoc village of Sommières. In the "Tartès house," his large dwelling surrounded by trees, he wrote the second part of his work, his monumental Avignon Quintet, devoted himself to painting and received his illustrious friends, including the couple Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin, violinist Yehudi Menuhin, London publisher Alan G. Thomas, and his two daughters Penelope and Sappho.

Bell's Edition. The Poets of Great Britain Complete from Chaucer to Churchill,

At the Apollo Press, by the Martins, Edinburgh 1779 - 1804, In-18 (8.5 x 13.5 cm), 99 parts in 34 bound volumes

Very rare collation of volumes from the famous Bell edition of British poets in uniform binding, which adds up to 101 volumes here and whose printing was widely spread over time, the volumes being sold by author. Volume 8, which brought together parts 5 and 6 of Edmund Spencer's poetic works is unfortunately missing. Some volumes appear for the first time, others are second editions. This particularly important edition for British poetry brings together 39 poets from Chaucer to Charles Churchill and 99 figures (portraits and frontispieces). It is precious because many poets saw their first complete edition this way, notably John Donne.
