The French naval officer Pierre Loti 1850–1923 pays a personal tribute in this novel to the memory of his brother Gustave a marine surgeon who fell ill in Cochinchina and died at sea. To this prose Loti adapted some of the impressionist techniques of contemporary painters especially Monet combining them with elements of naturalism and exoticism.<br /><br />Loti wrote the novel from 1884 onwards in his estate of Rochefort continued in the Far East and completed in Rochefort in March 1886. It first appeared in La Nouvelle revue de Juliette Adam from 1 April to 1 June and then as a separate book in 1886. When published Pêcheur d'Islande was criticised by Maupassant but praised by Henry James Octave Mirbeau and the Breton poet Anatole Le Braz. Literary critic Edmund Gosse characterised it as "the most popular and finest of all Loti's writings" and Loti himself as "one of the most original and most perfect French writers of the second half of the 19th century". The novel met a significant success: a dozen of editions were published over the next several decades.<br /><br />This deluxe tirage de tête of only 235 copies was printed on hollande paper with fine illustrations usually in multiple states different in each copy; the other copies were printed on ordinary paper in 12mo format.<br />The present copy has the largest number of impressions we found at auctions in the last decades: most of the other copies list only two or three states of engravings whereas this one shows four states of the frontispiece and the illustrations in five to nine states.<br /><br /><u>Provenance</u><br />Waldfried armorial ex-libris bookplate on upper endpaper.<br /><br />Description<br />Large 8vo 23 x 16 cm.
