AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very rare original edition of this heroic-comic poem in six cantos published by the playwright Nicolas Fallet (1753-1801), imitated from the work of the German writer Justus Friedrich Wilhelm Zachariae (1726-1777).
This work is to the Epic as the Tragi-Comedy is to Tragedy: it takes you with pleasure from the most pointed jokes to high and serious reflections, and from the most facetious descriptions to pieces full of nobility and poetry, a genre in which German poets have often excelled with success.
Very complete of the beautiful off-text vignette by Derain engraved by Chatelain, placed opposite the first canto.
Bound copy, half-havana marbled leather, with a title piece on the spine. Red edges. (Binding from the late 19th century) - Perfect condition binding, fresh interior, minor burn spots at the top of the half-title (see photos). Very good condition.
Beautiful copy printed on laid paper.
Nicolas Fallet, born in Langres in 1753 and died in Paris in 1801, was originally meant to be a lawyer, but he preferred that of a playwright and collaborated with the Gazette de France.
