Format: sextodecimo (10 x 15 cm)Son of the lawyer François Le Bouyer de Fontenelle () and nephew of the Cornelius by his mother Marthe Corneille (), Fontenelle made brilliant studies with the Jesuits in Rouen. Appointed member of the Académie Française in , after having been turned down four times.Secretary of the Royal Academy of sciences from to , he was also part of the Academy of inscriptions and the Academy of Stanislas. By his academic accolades, Fontenelle has paved the way for people like d'Alembert, the illegitimate son of his loyal friend Claudine Guérin de Paris, Condorcet, Georges Cuvier, or even Arago. In the quarrel of the ancients and the moderns, he was with Houdar de La Motte, much more for the moderns. According to him, if the trees that were once in our countryside were no larger than those of today, there is no reason that Homer, Plato, Demosthenes, could not be matched. He irritated Racine and Boileau on this occasion. Wikipedia Read More

Henry de Montherlant & Masereel - Juin 40. Trente Deux

Juin 40. Trente Deux Planches de Frans Masereel précédées de 'Fragments d'un Journal de Guerre " par Henry de Montherlant. Original edition of 28 b/w drawings and 4 color lithographies made by Masereel when he was fleeing the German invasion in France in June .The lithographies were printed by Mourlot in Paris, the reproductions of the drawings by G. Duvel. The book was designed by Jean Picart le Doux and was published by Pierre Tisné in Paris, in a limited edition of copies. This copy is one of the copies on Aussédat (N° 681). The book is rather rare, as many copies have been torn apart in order to sell the 4 color lithographs separately.Book size: 21.4 x 27.3 cms; 7 + 77 pages (softcover with printed dust wrapper). The cover is clean, but the dust wrapper shows foxing; the inside of the book is clear and crisp. Binding is firm. I am a collector myself, and I am selling this rare book because I managed to acquire one of the 350 copies on vélin lana bélier. For some reason, the color lithographies seem more vibrant on the Aussédat paper of this copy than on the somewhat darker vélin paper. Read More
