No detailed or authoritative information on these separate issues is available" PMM. "The Lettres Provinciales as they are called are the first example of French prose as we know it today perfectly finished in form varied in style and on a subject of universal importance.Pascal was an infant prodigy whose work in mathematics and natural science attracted considerable attention before he was sixteen. But he will always be chiefly remembered as a moralist more especially as the great apologist for Jansenism the seventeenth-century French ascetic movement of reform inside the Roman Catholic Church.At the end of 1655 the movement had been much under attack from the Jesuits and Pascal was persuaded to write a rejoinder.his counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits.Pascal's weapon was irony and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls Milton at its best." Printing and the Mind of Man 140. Chés Pierre de la Vallée unknown books

2021Best.-Nr. 209910Paris France: Seuil 2021. Hardcover. VG. Orange boards with color illustration black and white text. 219 pp. 170 color and bw plates. "Everything has been said and written about Picasso's work but no one has yet dared to study all of his self-portraits perhaps because this painter has always left many doubts hanging over his work. Throughout his life from his first self-portrait in 1894 he was 13 years old at the time to the last in 1972 one year before his death he never stopped representing himself. In a sketch at the bottom of a letter or on a canvas Picasso by Picasso could not resemble Picasso. But Pascal Bonafoux guides us to allow us to get as close as possible to the mystery of this extraordinary artist and to offer us the fruit of a long very documented and brilliant research work initiated more than 40 years ago."--Verso cover.
