Sobre este artículo
Paris: Hachette, 1858. First edition. Leather. Very Good. 7" by 5". None. A first edition copy of Edmond About's novel, signed by the author. A first edition of Edmond About's novel, signed by the author. Published in French. With the author's ink inscription to the half title, 'Monsieur Dosquet, avec tous les remerciments et les compliments de l'auteur'. About was a French novelist, publicist, and journalist who is best known for his satirical novel Le Rois des Montagnes, but also wrote a commentary on modern Greece, pamphlets on contemporary issues, and popular manuals of political economy. The present volume tells the tale of Master Pierre, who gives up shepherding to become a solitary hunter until he meets a small girl and attempts to nurse her back to health. Bound in a full red leather binding. Externally, generally smart. Lightly rubbed to the boards, with a little soiling to the front board. A little rubbed to the head and tail of the spine, and front joint. The front hinge is starting, but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Aside from some very light spotting to the front and rear of the volume, pages are bright and clean. Very Good
