Internally nice and clean. First edition 136th thousand same year as the first presentation-copy "à M. Eugène Zabel/ très cordial envoi -/ remerciement -/ et sympathie./ Edmond Rostand/ Octobre 98" of Rostand's masterpiece which against all odds became one of the most popular plays of the century and an overnight success throughout Europe.At the end of the 19th century in France as well as in the rest of Europe the industrialization was the force that dominated almost all aspects of society i.e. everything from politics and sociology to science art philosophy etc. And thus also literature and theatre in this period were products of this new power. This meant that the trend that became prevailing within literature and drama was that of realism which in France soon developed into naturalism. In the midst of this all-encompassing emphasis on objective documentation of everyday life which rejected romance idealization and dreaming of any kind emerged suddenly a work that no one could believe would have any success whatsoever but which against all odds became the hugest dramaturgical success of the period and a theatrical monument that has been remembered ever since and which still stands as thus: Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac" the unlikely play about romantic heroes fairy-tale like maidens medieval-inspired sword-fights about poetry love and art. The play had been taken on already in 1897 when the manuscript was finished but the directors of the theatre regretted their decision immediately not least due to the public reaction to the "outdated" romantic comedy-drama which nobody would want to go see and thus they severely cut the budget so that Rostand had to pay for all the costumes himself. Even the actor playing the main part a leading actor at the time regretted having taken the part and Rostand is reported to have apologized to him for involving him in this "disastrous adventure". "Therefore when the curtain rose on "Cyrano de Bergerac" for the first time on December 28 1897 expectations were low. The audience however was about to be pleasantly surprised. From the hero's last first majestic entrance to his last farewell he transfixed his viewers. Theatergoers cheered Cyrano's triumphs sighed at his suffering laughed at his witty wordplay and cried as his fate became known. A full hour after the curtain fell the audience was still applauding thunderously. It is not easy to explain why Rostand's play confounded everyone by becoming one of the century's greatest smash hits. Perhaps the answer lies in "Cyrano de Bergerac's" stark contrast to the grimly realistic plays of its day which often focused on modern society's darkest problems. The figure of the swashbuckling Cyrano dueling his way across the stage and stunning his compatriots with his verbal cleverness took Paris by storm. In fact many critics both of Rostand's time and later attributed the play's tremendous success to its romanticism or emphasis on idealism and heroism." Glencoe Literature Library Study Guide for Cyrano de Bergerac.The work immediately became a huge success and within a very short amount of time it had been translated into almost all European languages and was performed at theatres throughout Europe.Eugen Zabel was a famous literary critic and author who at the time of "Cyrano de Bergerac" was editor of the "Nationalzeitung". He was born in Königsberg in 1851 and died in Berlin in 1925. In his youth he wrote poems and after his move to Berlin he worked as a journalist critic and writer. He did a lot of work on Russian themes both political historical topographical and literary and he became closely connected to the country. He was highly respected for his liiterary criticism and his opinions though often controversial played an important role in public opiniation. hardcover

Best.-Nr. 31613Paris Charpentier et Fasquelle 1900. 1 vol. 145 x 210 mm de 262 p. 1 et 1 f. Broché sous couverture illustrée et emboîtage orné. . Edition originale. Exemplaire imprimé sur papier vert Empire. . L'Aiglon naquit aux Tuileries le 20 mars 1811 où cent un coups de canons annoncèrent aux Parisiens la naissance tant attendue du fils de l'empereur. Constitutionnellement muni du titre de « prince impérial » il reçoit en outre celui de « roi de Rome » : le baptême sera célébré le 9 juin en la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. La défaite de Waterloo contraindra Napoléon Ier à abdiquer en sa faveur mais le gouvernement provisoire de Fouché fera comme si de rien n'était et les chambres refuseront de proclamer celui qui se trouve depuis 1814 en exil à la cour d'Autriche. Il restera pour l'histoire celui qui a « régné » vingt jours du 22 juin au 7 juillet 1815. À Vienne il reçoit une solide instruction religieuse philosophique ou militaire sous l'affection de son grand-père l'Empereur François II le perdant d'Austerlitz et de Wagram qui pour sceller la paix et le traité de Schönbrunn avait offert à Napoléon sa fille aînée Marie-Louise d'Autriche qui deviendra la seconde épouse de Napoléon. Après l'abdication de Napoléon en 1815 François II lui donne le titre de duc de Reichstadt. Il sera élevé par sa mère et sa tante l'archiduchesse Sophie sous la gouvernance du comte de Dietrichstein. Le prince impérial meurt le 22 juillet 1832 âgé seulement de vingt et un ans au palais de Schönbrunn. Le diagnostic est celui d'une tuberculose foudroyante mais la thèse de l'empoisonnement n'a jamais été écartée. Sans alliance ni postérité sa disparition mettra quoi qu'il en soit un terme aux sentiments de fascination et de crainte des grandes cours d'Europe sur un éventuel retour aux affaires du seul descendant légitime de Napoléon Ier. Le 15 mars 1900 le public découvre pour la première fois la pièce d'Edmond Rostand et dans le rôle de l'Aiglon une comédienne costumée en homme : Sarah Bernhardt. Le succès est immense. La pièce donnera quelques immortelles et fameuses tirades dont celle de Séraphin Flambeau le grognard légendaire de la Grande Armée qui s'introduit à Schönbrunn auprès de l'Aiglon : « Nous les petits des obscurs des sans-grades » Acte II scène 9 un rôle endossé par Lucien Guitry puis par Coquelin l'Aîné.
