In the autumn of 1750 Smollett set out for Paris in order to collect material for another novel. The result of the tour was The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle, published in 1751. In some respects, this is the most remarkable of Smollett's novels; it is, also, the longest, and it maintains its vivacity and vigour throughout. Peregrine is a scoundrel with a very moderate sense of shame; he is also, in his elegant and rather witty way, a bully of the most refined cruelty, who is not content to feast on others' folly, but likes to pay for the feast with all kinds of insult and annoyance. It is still a fun read today. A handsomely produced edition. These would make a great gift. W96

A fine example. From Wiki: The story is told in the first person by John Wiltshire, a British copra trader on the fictional South Sea island of Falesá. Upon arriving on the island, he meets a rival trader named Case, who (in an apparently friendly gesture) arranges for him to be "married" to a local girl named Uma in a ceremony designed to impress the natives but to be completely non-binding in the view of Europeans. Wiltshire soon discovers that Uma has a taboo attached to her which causes all the other natives to refuse to do business with him, to Case's profit. He also hears rumors of Case having been involved in the suspicious deaths of his previous competitors. Although realising that he has been tricked, Wiltshire has genuinely fallen in love with Uma, and has their marriage legalised by a passing missionary. Wiltshire gradually learns that Case's influence over the villagers stems from their belief that he has demonic powers, as a result of his simple conjuring tricks as well as strange noises and visions they have experienced at a "temple" he has built in the forest. Upon investigating, Wiltshire finds that these experiences are also tricks produced by imported technologies such as luminous paint and Aeolian harps. Wiltshire sets out that night to destroy the temple with gunpowder. Case confronts him and the two men fight, resulting in Case's death. The story concludes with Wiltshire several years later living on another island, still happily married to Uma, worrying about what will happen to his mixed-race children. Stevenson saw "The Beach of Falesá" as the ground-breaking work in his turn away from romanticism to realism. Stevenson wrote to his friend Sidney Colvin: 'It is the first realistic South Seas story; I mean with real South Sea character and details of life. Everybody else that has tried, that I have seen, got carried away by the romance, and ended in a kind of sugar candy sham epic, and the whole effect was lost - there was not etching, no human grin, consequently no conviction. Now I have got the smell and look of the thing a good deal. You will know more about the South Seas after you have read my little tale than if you had read a library.' In an unusual change for Stevenson, but in-line with realism, the plot of the story is less important, rather the realistic portrayal of the manners of various social classes in island society is foregrounded; it is essentially a novel of manners. As Stevenson says to Colvin in a letter, "The Beach of Falesá" is "well fed with facts" and "true to the manners' of the society it depicts." Other than the island itself which is fictional, it contains the names of real people, real ships and real buildings which Stevenson was familiar with from his personal travels in the South Seas.

2021br. La descrizione delle singole marche segue lo schema dei volumi precedenti anche se con il progredire dell'opera si profilano nuovi approcci sempre più specifici e si aggiungono più complete documentazioni bibliografiche e iconografiche. Le marche descritte e riprodotte sono 1.328, relative a 433 tipografi e/o editori, appartenenti a 8 diversi stati, 78 città europee e a 276 denominazioni di insegna. Altri dati numerici: 238 i motti, oltre 300 i soggetti individuati nell'indice iconografico relativi a figure principali e secondarie, 95 le firme o sigle degli artisti, 621 le edizioni citate, 221 le opere segnalate nella bibliografia. Uno dei risultati certamente più importanti è di avere descritto e riprodotto un considerevole numero di marche non censite in repertori.

1922Best.-Nr. T968Ohne Ort, Privatdruck (Anzengruber Verlag), [1922]. Nummer 111 von 650 Exemplaren. Erste deutsche Ausgabe. Die galanten Schwänke des Guillaume Bouchet (1513-1593) wurden als Privatdruck des Herausgebers für seinen Freunde, für Künstler, Sammler und Gelehrte gedruckt. Bei Bouchets Werk handelt es sich um ein bizarres literarisches Konglomerat von Gelehrsamkeit, Spaß, Moral und Obszönität. - Die für Hayn-Gotendorf "futuristisch" anmutenden Lithographien sind eher in expressionistischer Manier gestaltet und mit "EF" signiert: Bei dem Künstler könnte es sich um den ungarischen Maler und Grafiker Esteban Fekete handeln. Das in klarer Type, zweifarbig gedruckte Werk sauber und wohlerhalten.Hayn-Gotendorf IX, 78
