hardcover. Etat : Very Good. DETAILS: very good used black cloth with purple decoration, foredges soiled from handling, cover lightly scuffed. RESTIF DE LA BRETONNE. Les nuits de Paris; or, The nocturnal spectator: a selection. Translated from the French by Linda Asher and Ellen Fertig. With an introduction by Jacques Barzun. New York: Random House, 1964, stated First Printing, xxii, 375pp., . Restif's jottings open a new layer of historical evidence and are of immense value to the social historian. He is the historian of the intimate and the personal rather than of the collective and the general, and his sketches reveal the indi-vidual in bed, in his family, at play, drunk, in the pursuit of vice, etc. . . . He writes with artistry and simplicity of the sprawling, dirty city, noisy with the curses of its three-quarters of a million unruly, disrespectful and brutal in-habitants; many of his brief sketches are poems to urban delight; but, beyond this, his record of nightly wanderings issues into an extraordinary man-in-the-street account of the French Revolution.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Restif de la Bretonne was perhaps the key author inspired by the publication of the Marquis de Sade's obscene' masterworks Juliette and Justine. In 1798 Restif wrote this pornographic epic, thus beginning a long tradition that continues to this day. The story is a pornographic novelization of Restif's sexual debauches, which he tried to defend 'morally' by declaring it an 'antidote' to the supposed poison of de Sade; yet while it opens with a warning to women against cruelty, it soon develops into an odyssey of sexual depravity which rivals de Sade in its relentlessy explicit nature.'

Etat : Fair. : En los albores de la Revolución Francesa, un cura seduce a la hija de un amigo. A partir de este incidente, Restif de la Bretonne aprovecha las desaforadas aventuras de los personajes principales de esta obra para atacar, en un tono sarcástico, la doble moral y la hipocresía propias de esta época. La hija seducida es una novela trepidante en la que el sacerdote protagonista utiliza recursos literarios -como por ejemplo el de recitar cuentos eróticos-, para obtener el beneplácito de las mujeres a quienes desea engatusar. Entre otras, el díscolo religioso pretende llevarse al huerto a una joven adolescente y a su propia madre. EAN: 9788486747909 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Literatura y Ficción Título: La hija seducida Autor: Restif de la Bretonne Idioma: es-ES Páginas: 240 Formato: tapa blanda.…

Etat : Trade paperback, Fine. Tarzana: Black Coat Press:, 2016. Trade paperback, Fine, 277 pp. Cover artwork by: Grillon An "as new" copy. "In The Discovery of the Austral Continent by a Flying Man (1781), Victorin devises a set of artificial wings to abduct his beloved Christine, before setting her up on top of a mountain as queen of her own utopia. Then he relocates to the southern ocean where he visits islands inhabited by giants and other variant human species, including beast-men combining the features of humans and animals. His voyage ends in the great City of Sirap, another utopia located in Megapatagonia. The Discovery of the Austral Continent is unique, not only within Restif's oeuvre, but within the context of French imaginative fiction. By virtue of the deft combination of its technological element with the theoretical element, it is undoubtedly the most significant work of science-based speculative fiction produced before the French Revolution.". Grillon (illustrateur).…
