1804LTH8-B-23Burdeos: Pedro Beaume 1804. Leather. Good Only. 7" by 4". None. An uncommon Spanish translation of famous French picaresque novel Gil Blas.

With the armorial nameplate of Samuel Edward Cook on the front pastedowns. With a Graham of Alnwick bookbinder's label to the front pastedown of Volume I.

It was highly popular and was translated several times into English most notably by Tobias Smollett in 1748 as <em>The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane</em>. <strong>Plot summary</strong>: Gil Blas is born in misery to a stablehand and a chambermaid of Santillana in Cantabria and is educated by his uncle. He left Oviedo at the age of seventeen to attend the University of Salamanca. His bright future is suddenly interrupted when he is forced to help robbers along the route and is faced with jail. He becomes a valet and over the course of several years is able to observe many different classes of society both lay and clerical. Because of his occupation he meets many disreputable people and is able to adjust to many situations thanks to his adaptability and quick wit. He finally finds himself at the royal court as a favorite of the king and secretary to the prime minister. Working his way up through hard work and intelligence Gil is able to retire to a castle to enjoy a fortune and a hard-earned honest life.</p> William Paterson. hardcover
