"Longos in lateinischer Form: Longus war ein griechischer Schriftsteller der Antike. Er ist der Autor des berühmten Hirten- und Liebesromans 'Daphnis und Chloe' und der Zweiten Sophistik zuzuordnen. . Longos vermischt in seinem Roman Elemente des antiken Liebes- und Abenteuerromans mit Motiven der Bukolik und entwickelt dabei eine eigene Art der Poesie in Prosa. Dabei legt der Autor seinem Erzähler einen Stil in den Mund der in seiner Schlichtheit den Protagonisten den einfachen Hirten entspricht. Diesen verfeinert er aber durch virtuose Rhythmisierung und zahlreiche Endreime. Daphnis und Chloe werden als Säuglinge von ihren reichen Eltern ausgesetzt und von Hirten aufgefunden. Zu Beginn der Handlung ist er 15 Jahre alt sie 13. Beide wachsen gemeinsam in gegenseitiger und unverdächtiger Zuneigung auf. Die Entwicklung dieser Zuneigung zur Liebe ist das Hauptthema des Romans. Der Liebesgott Eros fungiert bei Longos zugleich als Antriebsquelle der Dichtung und darum ist der Roman auch ihm geweiht." Wikipedia. "Paul Leroy eigentlich Paul Alexandre Alfred Leroy geboren 27. Dezember 1860 in Paris; gestorben 1942 ebenda war ein französischer Maler. . Von seinen Studienreisen nach und durch Ägypten Tunesien Persien Algerien und auch dem osmanischen Reich brachte Leroy eine Vielzahl von Eindrücken und Skizzen mit welche dann auch zur Basis seiner vielgelobten Ölbilder wurden. Mit diesen Werken wurde er schon bald zu einem wichtigen Vertreter des Orientalismus." Wikipedia. - Weitere Bilder auf Anfrage oder auf unserer Homepage.

In the original felt-lined tan linen clamshell box blind-lettered cream and blue morocco label on back. With etched frontispiece and 20 etchings 14 in color and six in sepia by Allix. As new.<br/> <br/> This is a modern take on the most popular romance of ancient Greece from book artist Susan Allix who is responsible for the binding illustrations and the printing through her Willow Press imprint. The third century pastoral romance was newly translated from the Greek by Andrew M. Burnett and illustrated with etchings based on Allix's travels in Greece. The binding in Allix's words "creates an atmosphere of the sea landscape and figures in the story." Born in 1943 and educated at the Royal College of Art Allix began her career as a printmaker before creating her first hand-crafted book in 1973. Mark Dimunation Chief of the Rare Book Division at the Library of Congress wrote of Allix's work: "her books launch you on a visual journey. Each book is a voyage propelled by color texture image impression and material. . . . Because she insists on creating the entire book--from letterpress to illustration to binding--her work has a certain recognizable aesthetic; a malleable signature that responds to the particular character of a piece but is still unquestionably hers. Allix conceives each book visually. 'I am concerned with visual things so I see books as full of colour and form in a pictorial sense as well as through the images created in my mind by the words and through the sculptural qualities a book possesses.' The real narrative of her books is the flow of color and image as they move throughout the piece.". Willow Press unknown

First Austen illustrated edition of this Greek pastoral romance featuring the Thornley English translation drawn more from a 1605 Latin translation than the Greek original.
