DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO. LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO/SCOLORITURA DELLA SOVRACCOPERTA. RARO. Andrew Marvell was an English metaphysical poet, satirist and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1659 and 1678. During the Commonwealth period he was a colleague and friend of John Milton. His poems range from the love-song "To His Coy Mistress", to evocations of an aristocratic country house and garden in "Upon Appleton House" and "The Garden", the political address "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland", and the later personal and political satires "Flecknoe" and "The Character of Holland". Andrew Marvell (Winestead, 31 marzo 1621, Londra, 16 agosto 1678) è stato un poeta e politico inglese, parlamentarista e figlio di un prete della Chiesa anglicana (anche lui chiamato Andrew Marvell). Scrisse poemi di satira e di pastorale, che fece circolare come manoscritto, e la sua figura di poeta viene spesso associata a quella di John Donne, George Herbert e John Milton (di quest'ultimo fu anche amico e collega). Ebbe una prospettiva complessa della Rivoluzione inglese. Fu un puritano e amico di John Milton, ma fu moderato nella sua politica, e (a differenza di Milton) fu contrario all'esecuzione di Carlo I. Tuttavia, una delle sue poesie più note è un'ode in onore di Oliver Cromwell. Fu più famoso alla sua epoca per le satire, viene ora ricordato per i poemi di amore, specialmente To His Coy Mistress (Alla sua timida amante), in cui esorta la sua amata a non sprecare il tempo.

Paris, CNRS 2000;. Deux volumes, forts in-8. Cartonnages illustrés de l'éditeur. Première édition critique intégrale du manuscrit : Les Cancans de l'Opéra ou Le Journal d'une habilleuse, de 1836 à 1848. Edition accompagnée d'une histoire sommaire de La salle Peletier, d'une chronologie théâtrale des années concernées et d'un lexique biographique des personnages cités. L'ouvrage comprend une importante iconographie théâtrale raisonnée. Parmi les manuscrits conservés à la bibliothèque de l'Opéra se trouve un « Journal » injustement méconnu des chercheurs : il porte sur les années 1836 à 1848, à l'époque où l'Opéra était situé dans la rue Le Peletier. Jean-Louis Tamvaco en fait ici l'édition critique et nous révèle notamment l'identité de son rédacteur, Louis Gentil. Par-delà les aspects anecdotiques concernant la vie de l'Académie royale de Musique au temps de son apogée romantique, l'ensemble est une source de première importance sur le climat social et artistique de l'époque. Un manuscrit, portant le titre de « Cancans de l’Opéra ou le journal d’une habilleuse », couvrant la période 1836-1848, connu de quelques rares spécialistes, n’avait jamais été étudié de manière systématique. Il représente pourtant une mine de renseignements sur la vie de l’Opéra dans les années romantiques, celles de l’apogée de la salle Le Peletier. Au prix d’une véritable enquête policière, Jean-Louis Tamvaco, dans cette première édition critique, nous donne les clés pour comprendre ce monde que le recul du temps rendait souvent indéchiffrable. « Dans cette Babylone, se côtoyaient [ ] employés du théâtre, abonnés, artistes du chant et de la danse, membres de l’orchestre, compositeurs et gens de lettres, politiciens, femmes du monde et femmes entretenues, parvenus et lions de tout poil, membres de la noblesse et de la bourgeoisie, ouvriers et garçons de théâtre » Les manuscrits (dans le volume 1), les chronologies théâtrales et les notices biographiques (dans le volume 2) nous proposent une véritable immersion dans la vie culturelle et sociale de la Monarchie de Juillet. Par-delà ce foisonnement, nous est aussi et enfin révélé le nom de l'« habilleuse » qui nous donne, après un anonymat de 150 ans, accompagné de Jean-Louis Tamvaco, un témoignage exceptionnel. Bel exemplaire état neuf.

"Transmits the joy of that quiet, pastoral and lyrical aspect of Mexico as depicted through the eyes of Milton Avery." - Moussa Domit, Director. "In his Mexican travels, Avery saw, with fresh vision, a land and its people and places at a time when he was at the peak of his talent and achievement. He had perfected his art as an eloquently powerful instrument for transforming people in their places into images compelling in their simplicity, endlessly fascinating in their subtlety. In the summer of 1946, Mexico gave Milton Avery the most precious gift an artist can receive - a whole world of color and form. In creating the paintings in this exhibition, Milton Avery gave Mexico a gift in return - the great gift of his art." - From Introduction. Average wear. Unmarked. Some rubbing to illustrated card covers. Sticker scar upon back cover. Solid copy. Binding intact. Book
