" Les Incas Los Incas 1777 una extensa narración trufada de reflexiones filosóficas y de abundantes datos históricos que delataban un minucioso trabajo de documentación sobre la conquista y colonización del Perú y el genocidio de su población indígena. Del cuidado que puso Marmontel en la elaboración de esta obra dan fe la numerosas redacciones que ensayó hasta obtener la versión que dio por definitiva: en 1771 el rey Gustavo III de Suecia 1746-1792 a quien iba dedicada Les Incas recibió el manuscrito con un primer esbozo de la obra; seis años después cuando por fin pasó por la imprenta la versión que dio por válida Marmontel el escrupuloso autor había trabajado en una docena de redacciones distintas. La crítica se dividió a la hora de valorar esta obra pero no así los lectores que acogieron con entusiasmo su publicación y la convirtieron en un texto paradigmático de la denuncia de la esclavitud la intolerancia racial y el fanatismo religioso. Se trata sin lugar a dudas de la obra de Marmontel que gozó de mayor fortuna tras la desaparición de su autor como queda patente en las reediciones que se hicieron de ella durante los siglos XIX y XX" texto extraído de la web de mcnbiografías.

Marcus Annaeus Lucanus 39-65 CE was an important Roman poet born in Cordoba. One of the outstanding figures of the Imperial Latin period his youth and speed of composition set him apart from others. The Pharsalia is an epic poem on the Roman Civil War. It is considered the greatest epic in Latin after the Aeneid. It depicts the Battle of Pharsalus 48 BC where Julius Caesar defeated Pompey. Lucan's poetic talent apparently aroused the jealously of the Emperor Nero. After the publication of Pharsalia the Emperor forbade him to write or even plead in the courts and then later compelled him to commit suicide for alleged treason. The engraved plates in this edition are mostly by the famous French engraver and book illustrator Hubert Francois Gravelot 1699-1733. The original art was by: Antoine-Jean Duclos; Emanuel Jean Nepomucene Ghendt; Noel Le Mire; Francois Denis Nee; Jean Francois Rousseau; and Jean-Baptiste Blaise Simonet.

1767684P4Paris: Merlin 1767. First edition. Leather. Very Good. 7" by 4". Not Stated. The original French first edition of Jean-Francois Marmonetal's controversial and banned novel on the life of Belisarius illustrated. The first edition of this work. In the original French. Illustrated with a frontispiece and three plates. Collated complete. Collated from Jisc from a copy held at the University of Oxford Libraries. 'Belisaire' is a French novel about the life of Belisarius a Byzantine general. This novel popularised the fictitious tale of Belisarius being reduced to a beggar by Justinian I despite his great services to the Empire throughout his life. Marmontel uses that tale to show an example of the monarchy and its ingratitude towards their faithful servants indicating that Louis XV was another ungrateful monarch. This is an interesting viewpoint as this book was written only twenty years before the uprising of the French Revolution. This novel was banned when it was published by the Sorbonne because chapter XV extols religious tolerance. Written by Jean-Francois Marmontel a French historian and member of the Encyclopedistes movement. He gained the patronage of Madame de Pompadour gaining a place as a civil servant and the management of the official journal 'La Mercure'. In the original calf binding. Externally generally smart.

In 1711 he was made Graf von Sachsen count of Saxony; in French comte de Saxe. His father bought him a German regiment in the French service in 1719 and Saxe quickly won recognition for his innovations in military training especially in musketry.J.M. White: Marshal Saxe is one of the forgotten figures of the first half of the eighteenth century; yet not only is he one of its most vivid personalities but one of its outstanding generals. He takes his place among the great mercenary soldiers of a military age: Schomburg Schulenburg and Prince Eugene in the west Keith and Lacy in the east; and there is leason to rate him even more highly than any of these and compare his achievements with those of Marlborough. At the close of his career Louis XV revived for him the splendid title of Marshal-General of the King’s Camps and Armies a title that had been borne previously only by the legendary Turenne.Expertise by Jean-Paul VEYSSIÈRE Manoir de Bellay 37370 MARRAY .
