Beschreibung

A scarce four volume collection of novels by French Naval officer, Pierre Loti or Julien Viaud. Frontispiece portrait of Loti. The first novel of this series that he published is Le Mariage de Loti, originally a Polynesian Idyll named Rarahu that Loti heard during his naval training in Tahiti. This book also explains why Loti is the pseudonym of Julien Viaud. Le Roman d'un Spahi is a record of the melancholy adventures of a soldier in Senegal and Les Desenchantees recounts a trip to Egypt. Madame Chrysantheme is a novel of Japanese manners that is a precursor to Madame Butterfly and Miss Saigon. Les Desenchantees is a story of the women who worked in a Turkish Harem and was thought ot be based on fact, like many of Loti's works. However, it was later made clear that Loti was in fact the victim of a cruel hoax by three prosperous Turkish women, never mentioned in the work. Pierre Loti was a French novelist and naval officer who falsely claimed he could not read. Despite this he published many novels recounting tales of his adventures around the world, gaining fans in Marcel Proust and the title of one of the most original French writers of the second half of the nineteenth century. In French. In a quarter calf binding. Externally, sound with slight rubbing to boards and bumping to corners . Sunning to spines with bumping to head and tail of spines. Internally, firmly bound with mild age toning to pages, otherwise bright and clean. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers FGN11-C-4
