What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding
A four-volume set in full tree calf bindings with marbled end papers and edges.
Jean-François Regnard (1655-1709) was a dramatist who is considered to be one of the best comic poets of the seventeenth century. He is also famous for the travel diary he kept of a voyage in 1681, Voyage de Flandre et de Hollande, commencé le 26 avril 1681, in which he gives an account of his experiences in many European countries.
This complete four-volume set of the works of Regnard includes his most famous works such as Le Joueur, Le Distrait, Les Ménechmes, and Le Légataire universel, as well as a selection of his poetry, his ballet Le Carnaval de Venise and his opera Orphée aux Enfers. The fourth volume contains his travel works.
This set is scarce in this edition.
