René Bazin - Contes de Bonne Perrette - 1900

Wonderful illustrated edition in its pretty red cloth binding of this collection by René Bazin, which sits within the tradition of the French literary tale, where the observation of rural surroundings, the portrayal of characters, and the transmission of moral values occupy an important place -

René Bazin, French novelist and academician born in 1853, is particularly known for his stories attentive to life in the countryside, family traditions, provincial landscapes, and the social changes affecting rural communities at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th -

His work is distinguished by descriptive prose, a sensitivity to everyday realities, and a marked interest in modest people, whose experiences often reveal tensions between individual aspirations, family obligations, and the rules of communal life -
