180138913A Paris: Gebbie and Company. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1801. Leather. engraved frontis'; OCLC Number: 968499950. French revolutionary calendar date is A N IX 1801. This calendar was restored after a brief period to the Gregorian calendar commonly in use. The Gregorian date is found by counting forward from the founding of the French Republisc in 1792- hence AN IX is 1801. In 1758 Marmontel gained the patronage of Madame de Pompadour who obtained for him a place as a civil servant and the management of the official journal Le Mercure in which he had already begun the famous series of Contes moraux. The merit of these tales lies partly in the delicate finish of the style but mainly in the graphic and charming pictures of French society under King Louis XV.

The two frontispieces in our edition appear to be reverse copies of the illustrations executed by J.M. Moreau le jeune for Lacombe's 1777 edition the first illustrated. <br /> <br /> The political philosophical and theological significance of this novel is very considerable and Marmontel's text was quickly translated into German English Dutch Italian Russian Swedish and Spanish. Luciano Pellegrini explains its lasting importance and its relevance to modern readers:<br /> <br /> "'Les Incas' presents a moment of the Conquistadors. Using the knowledge on the subject accumulated over the years and numerous readings Marmontel traces an epic picture of the conquest of Peru by Pizarro and his companions. Not to praise it but to underline its violence and show the monitory end of the empire of 'the most human people in the universe.' . It is a plea against religious fanaticism understood as 'the spirit of intolerance and persecution the spirit of hatred and vengeance for the cause of a God whom one believes irritated and of whom one makes himself the Ministers. . Pizarro remains responsible for the atrocities committed by his men without really sharing them. . One could notice the presence of attitudes of colonial domination in Alonzo de Molina's love for the native Cora. These very real ambiguities are however inseparable from the philosophical commitment of 'Les Incas.' They even touch on the project of universal tolerance carried by Marmontel and largely contribute to the literary quality of a novel which had a success for more than a century."
