Obtuvo un gran éxito con las novelas <em>Bélisaire</em> 1767 y <em>Les Incas ou la destruction de l´Empire du Perou</em> 1777con acerbas críticas de la conquista española. La presente edición aumentada con <em>"L´Hereusse Famille"</em> ><strong>"<em>L'Homme aux Quarante Écus":</em></strong> Londres sin dato de impresor 1768. <em>El hombre de las cuarenta coronas</em> es la única obra en la que se ocupa Voltaire con el tema de economía. Fue creado como una fábula en respuesta a las políticas económicas del escuela fisiocrática: "El industrial rico podía sonreír al respaldar la doctrina de que no debería ser obligado a pagar el impuesto porque no añadía nada a la riqueza ya que creían que sólo la tierra podía producir un excedente. Esta anomalía inspiró a Voltaire a escribir esta animada sátira; en él el rico financiero quien escapa a los impuestos se burla del pobre granjero que paga impuestos por ambos aunque sus ingresos sólo sean de cuarenta coronas. "A pesar de la actitud satírica de Voltaire hacia los industriales ricos defendió el bien económico. En <em>"Le Mondain"</em> 1736 y <em>"La Défense du Mondain" </em>1737 propuso una filosofía de vida personal deseable y como medio para asegurar prosperidad nacional." Este ejemplar publicado el mismo año que la edición original de Ginebra. La obra fue lo suficientemente controvertida como para que el Parlamento lo condenara y ordenara su quema en 1768.</p> hardcover

Contemporary full leather French binding; worn at joints. Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Hardbound. A very good copy of a scarce little work. After studying with the Jesuits and teaching in their colleges at Clermont and Toulouse Marmontel 1723-1799 acting on the advice of Voltaire set out for Paris at the age of twenty-two to seek literary fame. He wrote a series of minor plays which brought him somewhat permanent admission to Parisian literary and social circles. It was during this time that he wrote articles for the 'Encyclopedie' on the 'Elements of Literature' which still rank among the French classics. In 1758 he gained the patronage of Madame de Pompadour. She obtained for him a place as a civil servant and the management of the journal 'Le Mercure' where his charming 'Contes Moraux' were first printed. First published in 1767 'Belisare' was a historical romance loosely based on the career of Belisarius 505-565 a Byzantine general under the Emperor Justinian I. He was constantly called upon to defend a fading empire and the very gates of Rome against the Persians Vandals Goths Ostrogoths and Huns. It included a chapter on religious toleration which incurred the censure of the Sorbonne and the Archbishop of Paris. Because of this reaction to his work Marmontel became even more firmly set against the excesses of religious and political fanaticism. Quite scarce. FRENCH 4 Language: eng. Hardcover. Very Good.

With woodcut head- and tailpieces and two etched plates. Front pastedown with a blue piece of paper inscribed with the number "93" and the name Gueveni in ink. Five small wormholes to leather on rear board text with two tiny marginal wormholes becoming one as the book goes along otherwise fine internally--especially clean and fresh in an appealing period binding showing very little wear.<br/> <br/> First published in 1767 "Bélisaire" is an historical romance based on an apocryphal tale of the estimable Byzantine commander Belisarius in which he is blinded and reduced to penury by an ungrateful Emperor. According to the Oxford Companion the book created a sensation out of proportion with its intrinsic literary merits because it contained a chapter advocating religious tolerance and freedom of opinion which was censured by the Sorbonne. The present edition includes several letters and additional texts that concern this controversy. An author whose talents were employed in several genres Marmontel 1723-99 was encouraged by his mentor and friend Voltaire to venture from the provinces to Paris in order to pursue a literary career. He gained acceptance into fashionable circles distinguished himself as a highly-praised writer for the "Encyclopedie" and was elected to the French Academy in 1763. The present volume is an extremely pleasing copy of an early edition. Dépens de la Compagnie unknown
