Very Good Russian Rare second edition of Nazim Hikmet Ran's 'Cloud in love' in Russian as well as in any Slavic languages, translated by Russian Turcolog and philologist Lely Nikolayeviç Starostov, (1924-1985).

In-4 (236 x 167 mm), cartonnage marbré moderne à la Bradel, 24 p. Edition originale et unique, très rare, du livret d'un petit opéra que Charles Perrault rédigea à l'occasion de la naissance du premier petit-fils de Louis XIV, le duc de Bourgogne, naissance qui donna lieu à des festivités exceptionnelles à la Cour et dans toute la France. Claude Oudot, Maître de musique de l'Académie française, composa la musique, et l'oeuvre plut tant qu'elle fut représentée devant le roi, cela en dépit du monopole de l'opéra détenu par Lully. Dans cette allégorie annonciatrice de 'Cendrillon', on retrouve toute l'inventivité et la fantaisie du futur auteur des contes (cf. analyse in P. Bouchenot-Déchin, 'Perrault', Fayard, 2018, p. 213-231). Le succès de l'oeuvre n'empêcha pas la disgrâce de Charles Perrault quelques mois plus tard, sous les effets conjugués de ses ennemis, Racine, Boileau, Louvois surtout, puis de la mort de son protecteur Colbert. Restauration de papier en coin inférieur du dernier feuillet, sans atteinte au texte. WorldCat ne recense que trois exemplaires de cet ouvrage dans le monde: Getty Res. Inst., BnF et BM Lyon. Il manque aux principales bibliographies. Bon exemplaire, grand de marges.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 64 p., color ills. "26 folk tales and legends from a variety of towns and regions in Turkey starting from A for Agri and continuing on through Z for Zelve cast a keen and fascinating light on the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia. In addition to stories featuring such familiar characters as Karagöz and Hacivat of the shadow puppet tradition and Nasreddin Hodja, the hero of legends, other stories intrigue us with the adventures of lesser known heroes and legendary figures and give us colorful insights into the history and multi-cultural aspects of Anatolia, a landmass that has long served as a crossroads and meeting point of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The book is further enriched with small maps that pinpoint the location of the story and more in-depth information about the unique cultural and social aspects of the particular region. Young children will be delighted with the stories, while older readers will especially appreciate the wit and universal meanings in the tales, and the highly original information about Turkey and its diverse physical and cultural geography.".
