1934Best.-Nr. 002243France 1934. First Edition presumed. Wraps made of 18th Century French Vellum Documents. Near Fine. No text with fifteen color lithographed plates of a softcore sensibility with nudity. The only words in the story proper is the title rendered in Cyrillic. The illustrations are far from lewd yet do have a delicious kitschy quality of the second-rate book illustration and they were in their time meant to give the viewer a frisson of excitement from partaking of something mildly naughty and taboo. The illustrations feel anachronistic fitting more squarely in the twentieth century than the classical world being portrayed but perhaps that is also their charm. No one could find the illustrations pretentious or overblown and if nothing else they do capture a simplicity and innocence that are at the core of the tale. Perhaps the most special aspect of the booklet is the wraps or outer wraps to be precise made up of two sheets of vellum documents from the mid-18th century that may have come from a Royal Archive. These sheets were clearly meant to conceal the erotic contents. One of the documents is signed Besnard P and is a letter dated 25 9bre 1734 with a seal of the city of Rouen. Back to the Daphis and Chloe a few of the plates bear a stylized device of what appears to be "LG" and above the date of 1934. unknown

"Longos in lateinischer Form: Longus war ein griechischer Schriftsteller der Antike. Er ist der Autor des berühmten Hirten- und Liebesromans 'Daphnis und Chloe' und der Zweiten Sophistik zuzuordnen. . Longos vermischt in seinem Roman Elemente des antiken Liebes- und Abenteuerromans mit Motiven der Bukolik und entwickelt dabei eine eigene Art der Poesie in Prosa. Dabei legt der Autor seinem Erzähler einen Stil in den Mund der in seiner Schlichtheit den Protagonisten den einfachen Hirten entspricht. Diesen verfeinert er aber durch virtuose Rhythmisierung und zahlreiche Endreime. Daphnis und Chloe werden als Säuglinge von ihren reichen Eltern ausgesetzt und von Hirten aufgefunden. Zu Beginn der Handlung ist er 15 Jahre alt sie 13. Beide wachsen gemeinsam in gegenseitiger und unverdächtiger Zuneigung auf. Die Entwicklung dieser Zuneigung zur Liebe ist das Hauptthema des Romans. Der Liebesgott Eros fungiert bei Longos zugleich als Antriebsquelle der Dichtung und darum ist der Roman auch ihm geweiht." Wikipedia. "Paul Leroy eigentlich Paul Alexandre Alfred Leroy geboren 27. Dezember 1860 in Paris; gestorben 1942 ebenda war ein französischer Maler. . Von seinen Studienreisen nach und durch Ägypten Tunesien Persien Algerien und auch dem osmanischen Reich brachte Leroy eine Vielzahl von Eindrücken und Skizzen mit welche dann auch zur Basis seiner vielgelobten Ölbilder wurden. Mit diesen Werken wurde er schon bald zu einem wichtigen Vertreter des Orientalismus." Wikipedia. - Weitere Bilder auf Anfrage oder auf unserer Homepage.

"Despite the satire in Daphnis and Chloe there is a serious religious or philosophical undercurrent for Longus sees Plato's Love Eros as the supreme cosmic force behind events so that he even as one of the characters is made to assert 'possesses greater power than Zeus himself.' Thus the plot unfolds in an atmosphere in which seriousness and levity are piquantly blended. Throughout lapses into the ludicrous are avoided a note of sincerity rings through the sentiment bold realism is effectively introduced from time to time--all thanks to Longus' gifts as a careful graceful stylist."
