What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Leather Binding, Scarce, Very Scarce
The first edition of this translation from French by A.R. Scoble.
In half red calf with marbled boards.
Written by French author, poet, and statesman Alphonse de Lamartine, a leading figure of the 1848 French Revolution. He served as Foreign Minister during the revolution, frequently working to ease tensions between the government and the working class.
His literary fame was established through his lyrics in Méditations poétiques, which led to Lamartine to be established as one of the key figures of the Romantic movement in French literature.
This work is a lyrical and romantic novel of love and betrayal set in rural France in the late 18th century.
