Baron Trenck, Imprisoned in 1745, at Glatz under the guard of Heinrich August de la Motte Fouque. The King ordered that Friedrich had to sit on his own gravestone. In 1746 Trenck escaped. Then, in 1749, he obtained an employment as Rittmeister of an imperial cuirassier regiment in Hungary. He traveled to Russia where he, or so he claimed, became gentleman of the bed chamber in the court of Tsarina Elizabeth of Russia. He fell in love with a married woman, whose name he never revealed. In 1753, he went to Danzig for the funeral of his mother, but was again captured on the orders of Frederick II and was sent to the Citadel Magdeburg. To prevent him from attempting to escape, they fastened his hands, feet, and body with heavy chains and manacles. In 1763, he was released through the intervention of Empress Maria Theresa. During the next ten years he led an active life - writing literature, running a wine trading business, and travelling to England and France. His autobiography (1787) was first translated into English by Thomas Holcroft, an officer of the Royal Artillery. It became popular reading in the late 18th century, and must have been thrilling for its early Amish owner. Evans 27814. EVANS1

Édition originale de la traduction française (âs de grand papier). Très bel exemplaire à l'état neuf. Robert Montgomery Bird (1806-1854) est un romancier, dramaturge, journaliste et médecin américain qui connut un immense succès comme auteur de théâtre. Son roman Sheppard Lee est considéré comme un des premiers romans américains." Qui n'a jamais rêvé d'être quelqu'un d'autre ? D'échanger sa place avec un autre ? Début du 19ème siècle, Philadelphie : un jeune Américain, Sheppard Lee, se découvre capable de migrer de corps en corps : il sera un riche, un pauvre, un fou, un esclave. Et ses multiples réincarnations vont peu à peu dessiner le portrait de la société américaine, une société folle et cruelle. Chaque fois qu'il se retrouvera dans un nouveau corps, Sheppard Lee fera siennes de nouvelles habitudes, pensées et manières de s'exprimer et le roman épousera ces transformations, alternant entre le roman d'éducation, le conte gothique, le récit de science-fiction, le roman social, tout en conservant une force picaresque sans pareille. Cartographie mentale de l'Amérique et témoignage de son époque sur les pionniers, l'abolitionnisme et le populisme naissant, ce roman a été un immense succès à l'époque de sa publication, contemporaine de celle de La démocratie en Amérique d'Alexis de Tocqueville. Inspiré par le Frankenstein de Mary Shelley, salué par Edgar Allan Poe, Sheppard Lee est le premier grand roman américain. Oublié au 2 0ème siècle, il a été redécouvert au début du 21 ème siècle et loué, à la fois comme un roman post moderniste avant l'heure, et comme une prémonition de l'Amérique délirante des présidents Bush et Trump. Traduit pour la première fois en français, ce roman inouï est suivi d'une postface du traducteur, Antoine Traisnel, grand spécialiste de l'oeuvre de Nathaniel ".

Very Good Turkish Paperback. Uncut pages. Soiling and slightly stained on covers. Otherwise a very good set. 12mo. (18 x 11,5 cm). In Turkish. 4 volumes set: ([8], 338 p.; [8], 327 p.; [4], 292 p.; [4], 501 p.). Tom Jones: Sokakta bulunmus bir çocugun hikayesi. [= The history of Tom Jones; A foundling]. 4 volumes set. Translated to Turkish by Mina Urgan. The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, often known simply as Tom Jones, is a comic novel by English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. It is both a Bildungsroman and a picaresque novel. It was first published on 28 February 1749 in London, and is among the earliest English prose works to be classified as a novel. It is the earliest novel mentioned by W. Somerset Maugham in his 1948 book Great Novelists and Their Novels among the ten best novels of the world. Tom Jones is generally regarded as Fielding's greatest book and as an influential English novel. Urgan was a Turkish academic, translator, author and socialist politician. She translated works of Thomas Malory (c. 1415-1471), Henry Fielding (1707-1754), Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850), Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), Graham Greene (1904-1991), William Golding (1911-1993), John Galsworthy (1867-1933) and Shakespeare (1564-1616) into Turkish. She was honored with the "Golden Book Award" in 1993. For her work Virginia Woolf, she received the "Sedat Simavi Literature Award" in 1995, and the "Association of People of Letters Honor Award" in 1996. (Wikipedia). First Edition.

Two Volumes bound in one: pp. 313; 320. Fore-edges dampstained. Large 8vo. 225mm. Original full cloth binding. Head and tail of spine worn. First American Edition. Ferdinand Marie, Vicomte de Lesseps (1805-1894) was the French developer of the Suez Canal, which joined the Mediterranean and Red Seas in 1869, and substantially sailing distances and times between the West and the East. He attempted to repeat this success with an effort to build a sea-level Panama Canal during the 1880s, but the project was devastated by epidemics of malaria and yellow fever in the area, and the projected de Lesseps canal was left uncompleted and eventually partially superseded by a non-sea-level canal with locks, built by the United States and completed in 1914. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
