Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for T. Longman et al, 1792. Sixth Editiion. Hardcover. Fair. 4 vol.: xii, 312; vi, 263; vii, 292; viii, 276 p. 18 cm. 12 engravings. Full leather. Spine has gold, red and green impressing. Gold on edges as well but much removed by shelf wear. Front board detached on vol. 1 and white stain on its rear. Corners bumped. Spines somewhat cracked. Dark stain on front cover of Vol. 4. Endpapers have ownership labels (Captain Tait, R.N., Katharine Elsie Biggs, F. R. P. Forrest, Edinburgh) and other label residue. Some staining and foxing, especially endpapers. Slight thumbing throughout text. A few pages show signs of dampness. Neat little volumes in need of some TLC.
Lesage's picaresque novel "Gil Blas" is set in Spain but is almost certainly a satire of his own early 18th-century France. Portraying many different classes and occupations within society, both reputable and otherwise, the book traces the hero's life journey from miserable poverty to a wealthy retirement in his own castle. This "new " translation was by Tobias Smollett, English author of "Roderick Random," a book modelled on "Gil Blas."
