AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming colorful illustrated edition of this English classic, a masterpiece by Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith.
This new and complete translation by B.-H. Gausseron is adorned with 80 illustrations by Armand Poirson, printed in color with hand-applied highlights.
Preserved in its rare full brown cloth cardboard case, with an illustration in black, gold, and red on the front cover, two green leather friezes framing the decorated covers with fine floral ornamentation. The smooth spine is adorned with the title and a gilded vignette. Gilded head.
In good condition. Some scuffs on the leather, the corners, spine, and soft heads. Interior fresh and clean, in very good condition, with rare foxing.
The Vicar of Wakefield (or The Minister of Wakefield) is a novel by Oliver Goldsmith written in 1761 and 1762, then published in 1766. It is one of the most popular and widely read works in Victorian England. It has often been translated into French, notably by C. Gin in 1797 and by Charles Nodier in 1844.
In the preface of La mare au diable, George Sand writes: "Art [...] is a pursuit of ideal truth, and The Vicar of Wakefield was a more useful and healthier book for the soul than The Perverted Peasant and Dangerous Liaisons."
Author: Oliver Goldsmith.
