Beschreibung
Very good condition dark green cloth boards with gold spine lettering. Illustrated "by the best French Artists." This is volume three of a three volume set, incorporating pages 907 through 1312. Illustrated with black-and-white illustrated plates and frontispiece plate. The outer boards show some blotching, mostly on the front cover. The blankd first free front endpaper contains an old former owner name. In total, three pages are in very good condition; all other pages are in fine condition and the spine is tight and square. (see photographs). "The Mysteries of Paris was published serially in 90 parts in Journal des debats from 19 Jun 1842 until 15 October 1843, making it one of the first serial novels published in France. It was an instant success and singlehandedly increased the circulation of Journal des debats. It founded the "city mysteries" genre, spawning many imitations. The hero of the novel is the mysterious and distinguished Rodolphe, who is really the Grand Ducke of Geroistein (a fictional grand duchy of Germany) but is disguised as a Parisian worker. The novel is a melodramatic depiction of a world where good and evil are clearly distinct. Rodolphe, the Prince, embodies good. Ferand, a lawyer and representative of a new commercial order, embodies evil." - from Wikipedia. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003486
