Helen Stevenson
Instructions For Visitors
Black Swan London 2002. Medium Trade Paperback. Good ex-library. Medium Trade Paperback. 252 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Black Swan London 2002. CONDITION: This book is in good ex-library condition. Tanned pages. Clear self-adhesive laminate to covers/boards. Moderate spine lean. Ex-library with usual marks stamps stickers. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The beguiling funny and frank story of a young Englishwoma; If you are lucky enough to find your place you should never actually live in it never make it your home. And never live with the man you think you cannot live without. Le Village is a small town at the southwestern-most tip of France. Here a young Englishwoman fell in love with France the French and one Frenchman in particular. In her seductive lyrical and witty memoir Helen Stevenson writes about life in Le Village not as an expat but as someone adopted by her neighbours as one of their own. By Stefan the Maoist tennis fanatic who lives off his lover in solidarity with the unemployed; by Gigi the chic Parisian who dresses her ex-lovers' girlfriends from the stock of her exquisite boutique; and by Luc the crumpled cowboy painter and part-time dentist who overcoming an aversion to blondes takes the Englishwoman up to his remote mas shows her his paintings and teaches her to ride. Describing the colour and light of the landscape with lyrical intensity and savouring the languid and sexy flavour of the Mediterranean lifestyle Helen Stevenson lays bare a romantic but potentially disastrous love affair with the man 'who seems like the only man alive to me the one with the halo round his head in a crowd if I should ever see him in a crowd'. Instructions For Visitors may start as an objective guide for tenants arriving at her village house but it ends as a very personal revelation of how difficult it can be to transplant oneself into someone else's country someone else's culture someone else's heart.

Helman, Isidore-Stanislas.
Faits memorables des empereurs de la Chine, tirés des annales chinoises [...] gravées [...] d'après les dessins originaux de la Chine [...] tirés du cabinet de Mr. Bertin. Paris, Helman and Nicholas Ponce, 1788.
4to. Wholly engraved series, consisting of a title-page, dedication, 24 illustrations and 24 text pages, all printed on one side of a leaf. (With) II: Helman, Isidore-Stanislas. Abrégé historique des principaux traits de la vie de Confucius célebre philosophe chinois [...] gravées [...] d'après des dessins originaux de la Chine envoyés à Paris par M. Amiot missionaire à Pékin [...]. Paris, Helman and Nicholas Ponce, [1788]. Wholly engraved series, consisting of a title-page, 24 illustrations and 28 text pages, all except 8 of the text pages, printed on one side of a leaf. 2 works in 1 volume. Later gold-tooled, mottled calf, gold-tooled spine, sides, binding edges and dentelles, gilt edges. Deluxe issue, printed on wove paper, of two handsomely engraved print series, with each print accompanied by an engraved text leaf. - The first series is a radically revised version of Dijian tushuo, designed to appeal to educated Parisians. The Dijian tushuo, known in English as The emperor's mirror, was a very popular Chinese work with stories and illustrations of the praiseworthy and blameworthy actions of Chinese emperors, originally composed for the instruction of the young Wanli emperor. A manuscript version of this work was sent to the French minister of finance Henri Bertin, after which Helman modelled his edition. Besides reframing the Chinese historical anecdotes for a French audience, Helman also completely reconceptualised the illustrations. Although Helman intended to publish four instalments, only the present first instalment appeared. "Published in Paris just a year before the French revolution, perhaps the volume was meant as a veiled criticism not only of Louis XVI's policies but also of his wife, Marie-Antoinette" (Reed & Demattè). - The second series is also based on a collection of drawings from the library of Bertin, who had received these from the French Jesuit missionary Joseph-Marie Amiot. Amiot wrote a lengthy biography of Confucius, which was published as "Vie de Koung-Tsée, appellé vulgairement Confucius", together with the engravings by Helman, in 1786, simultaneously with the first impression of the present print series. The accompanying text to the plates are short "morales de Confucius" from the "Collection des moralistes anciens" (1782). - As stated on the title-page, part 1 could be purchased unbound, at 12 livres; in paper wrappers, at 13 livres and 10 francs; unbound on wove paper for 18 livres; on large paper to accompany the Batailles de la Chine and hand-coloured on "papier de Hollande". Both series are here printed on wove paper, and part 2 (usually dated 1786) is, as such, clearly issued together with the other in 1788. - Isidore-Stanislas Helman (1743-ca. 1810), a student of Le Bas, was a successful engraver in service of the Duke of Chratres. In 1785 he had reproduced a then already extremely rare print series illustrating Chinese battles, that was commissioned by the Emperor of China in France. Helman would later engrave the major events of the French Revolution. - A couple of occasional spots and some very minor foxing in the upper margins, otherwise a very good copy. The binding has some minor wear along the extremities of the spine, but is also very good. Cohen/De Ricci 479. Cordier, La Chine en France au XVIIIe siècle, pp. 59f. Cordier, Sinica, 587f.
