Présentation de l'éditeur
To introduce thus, by a new preface, to my readers, a work which has been for so many years before the public, and which, however undeserving of such notice, has been translated into most of the languages of Europe, may be rarded as rather an unnecessary ceremony. Some circumstances, however, connected with this new edition, as well as with the Poems subjoined to the narrative, seem to require from me a few prefatory words. The idea of calling in the magic pencilof Mr. Turner, to illustrate some of the scenes of the foU owing story, was first suggested by the late Mr. Macrone, to whose general talents and enterprising spirit all who knew him will bear ready and cordial testimony. His original wish had been that I should undertake for him some new poem, or story, to be thus embellished by the artist. But other tasks and ties having rendered my compliance with this sh impracticable, he proposed to purchase of me the copyright of theE picurean, for a single illus A mong: the translations which have reached me are two in French, one in Italian (M ilan, 1836, 24mo, -V enice, 1835), one in German (I nspruc, 1828), and one in Datch, by Mr. Herman van Loghem CD eventer, 1829).

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an alluring account of a wandering philosopher who journeys to Egypt to uncover the secrets of eternal life. The narrator's personal reflections on themes of mortality, pleasure, and the transient nature of life provide depth to this tale. Set against the backdrop of a vibrant, decadent Alexandria, vibrant with a multitude of religions and cultures, the protagonist grapples with his own mortality and the possibility of subverting death. The author weaves together philosophy, desire, and a dash of mystery to create an engaging narrative. Questions of existence, purpose, and humanity's place amidst a vast, seemingly eternal cosmos are thoughtfully explored. Ultimately, this is a thought-provoking exploration of human existence and the eternal human desire to transcend the limitations of our mortality. The author's insights into these weighty matters offer a rich and rewarding read for anyone seeking to ponder the very nature of being.
