Description from the seller
Edmond About. Thirty and Forty. Paris, Hachette, 1891, 297 pp.
A quarto volume (275x200 mm), full publisher’s morocco binding, decorated spine with raised bands, gilt top. Small epidermis marks on the hinges and the upper margin of the first cover. Interior very fresh, with no foxing.
Very pretty illustrated edition, on glossy paper, with illustrations by Hermann Vogel.
A novel by Edmond About focused on the world of gaming and speculation, particularly around the famous casino game that bears its name. Through a plot weaving passions, ambitions, and reversals of fortune, About offers a satire of Second Empire society, denouncing the lure of easy money, the illusions of wealth, and human frailties.
