1784FB949/6B<p>Tan calf full binding. Red and green titles plate with gilt lettering and banding<strong>.</strong></p><p><strong>A precious and historic copy </strong> The Bachelor of Salamanca is the last novel by Lesage 1668-1747. "After the success of The Lame Devil and Gil Blas de Santillane it is still a pseudo-Spanish setting that Lesage gave to his last novel of adventure and satire. It is the story of the adventures of a young Spanish bachelor who works as a tutor. For Lesage it was an opportunity for satire to the detriment of the ruling classes: large and small nobility enriched bourgeoisie clergy. He makes us know along the way the activities of these people who live from this society while remaining on the margins: tutors adventurers matchmakers and who constitute a colourful and equivocal world where those who succeed can only achieve it by rising by intrigue above their condition. It is already with less violence but with a barely concealed cynicism the verve of Beaumarchais in The Barber of Seville that we find in the work of Lesage who is a few decades ahead of the spirit of his time".</p><p><strong>Alain-René Lesage</strong> 6 May 1668 – 17 November 1747; older spelling <strong>Le Sage</strong> was a French novelist and playwright. Lesage is best known for his comic novel <em>The Devil upon Two Sticks</em> 1707 <em>Le Diable boiteux</em> his comedy <em>Turcaret</em> 1709 and his picaresque novel <em>Gil Blas</em> 1715–1735.</p> P Wogan. hardcover
