1784rif. FB949/6BTan calf full binding. Red and green titles plate with gilt lettering and banding. A precious and historic copy The Bachelor of Salamanca is the last novel by Lesage 1668-1747. "After the success of The Lame Devil and Gil Blas de Santillane it is still a pseudo-Spanish setting that Lesage gave to his last novel of adventure and satire. It is the story of the adventures of a young Spanish bachelor who works as a tutor. For Lesage it was an opportunity for satire to the detriment of the ruling classes: large and small nobility enriched bourgeoisie clergy. He makes us know along the way the activities of these people who live from this society while remaining on the margins: tutors adventurers matchmakers and who constitute a colourful and equivocal world where those who succeed can only achieve it by rising by intrigue above their condition. It is already with less violence but with a barely concealed cynicism the verve of Beaumarchais in The Barber of Seville that we find in the work of Lesage who is a few decades ahead of the spirit of his time". Alain-René Lesage 6 May 1668 – 17 November 1747; older spelling Le Sage was a French novelist and playwright. Lesage is best known for his comic novel The Devil upon Two Sticks 1707 Le Diable boiteux his comedy Turcaret 1709 and his picaresque novel Gil Blas 1715–1735. P Wogan. hardcover
