In-8, couverture imprimée, viii, 340 p. Edition originale et unique, rare, du premier livre publié par Georges Sorel. Déjà à contre-courant en cette année du centenaire de la Révolution française, Sorel préconise une diffusion large et populaire du "Livre du peuple par excellence": la Bible, non à des fins religieuses mais profanes et "sociales", afin "d’initier le peuple à la vie héroïque et combattre les tendances délétères de l'utilitarisme". "A base d'analyse du texte biblique apparaissent les thèmes ultérieurs de G. Sorel moraliste: crainte de la décadence morale, dénonciation des attitudes utilitaires et conformistes, rôle de l'épopée héroïque dans la rénovation de la culture..." (J. Gornicka, art. ‘Sorel’, in DBMOF en ligne). (Delesalle, ‘Bibliographie sorélienne’, n°5). Quelques accrocs, petits manques et petite tache d'encre sur la couverture. Rare.
In-8, cartonnage à la Bradel, titre doré en long, couverture conservée, 47 p. Edition originale, sous sa couverture imprimée de retirage. Important essai dans lequel l’auteur dresse un état des forces républicaines et démocratiques en présence durant la Monarchie de Juillet, tendances qui allaient d’affronter huit ans plus tard en 1848: bourgeois réformistes du "National", communistes et révolutionnaires ainsi que le groupe que l’auteur revendique: les jeunes démocrates, instruits et résolus à faire la liaison entre la bourgeoisie réformiste et les prolétaires. Théophile Thoré (1807-1869) était un disciple de Pierre Leroux avec lequel il collabora. Avocat, journaliste, historien d’Art (il est le "recouvreur" de Vermeer), il était déjà actif en 1830 puis devint l’un des militants les plus impliqués dans la révolution de 1848. Elu député d’extrême gauche, il fit partie des chefs socialistes qui envahirent l’Assemblée nationale lors de l’insurrection du 13 juin 1849. Condamné à mort par contumace, il parvint à s’enfuir en Angleterre. La brochure fut immédiatement poursuivie en justice et Thoré condamné à un an de prison pour "attaques contre la propriété et excitation à la haine". Sur cette importante source pour l’histoire politique de la période, cf. G. Weill, 'Histoire du parti républicain', p. 138 sq. (Drujon, 'Livres interdits', p. 391. Maitron, DBMOF, en ligne. Stammhammer, I, 247). Bel exemplaire, très frais, très bien relié.

In oblungo (21x18 cm); 26 c. di tav. Esiste anche una tiratura successiva con un frontespizio ma rilegata in tela rossa e con le tavole non numerate. Legatura editoriale in tela verde con titolo impresso in oro al piatto anteriore, scolorito, entro doppia cornice a secco. All’interno in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Le tavole furono disegnate ed edite da De La Tramblais ed impresse da Badoureau. Tutte le tavole sono in magnifica e fine coloritura coeva e illustrano gli effetti dell’insurrezione popolare del 1871 su diversi edifici di Parigi. Ogni tavola presenta una numerazione nel margine alto destro da 1 a 26. Una descrizione bilingue in francese ed inglese titola, nel margine basso sotto l’incisione. Fra gli editori: Hotel de Ville, Il Palais de Tuileries, Palais Royale, Ministere des Finances, Palais de Justice, Prefecture de Police, Palais de la Legion d’Honneur, Incendi edu Palais du Conseil d’Etat, Caisse des Depots & Consignations, Theatre de la Porte St. Martin, Chute de la Colonne Vendome, l’Arsenal, Greniers d’Abondance, Place d el La Bastille et R. de la Roquette, Rue Royale, Interieur du Theatre Lyrique, Entrepot de la Villette, Rue de Lille, Magasins de Nouveautes, Inhumation Provisoire das le Square de la Tours St. Jacques, Carrefour de la Croix Rouge, Incendie de St. Eustache, Place de la Concorde. Tutte le scene rappresentate in Les Désastres, provengono dagli ultimi e disperati "May Days" della Comune, quando molti dei grandi monumenti di Parigi furono incendiati. Lo stampatore Badoureau si stabilì in rue Sainte-Isaure nel 18° distretto, chge era convenientemente situato a nord della Senna e nel cuore della battaglia. Il fatto che l'artista Edouard de La Tramblais scelse di rendere gli edifici più famosi (il Palazzo di giustizia, la Place de la Bastille e Place de la Concorde, ad esempio) e che le didascalie furono ideate sia in francese che in inglese suggeriscono che questo lavoro era stato ideato, fin dall'inizio, come un souvenir di guerra. L'immagine più famosa ritratta è sicuramente, la distruzione e il successivo crollo della colonna Vendome. Come simbolo dell'odiata Seconda Repubblica, la colonna fu uno dei primi bersagli della Comune. Dopo lo schiacciamento della rivolta fu ricostruita e divenne un simbolo della follia dei Communards. “La Comune di Parigi è il governo socialista che diresse Parigi dal 18 marzo al 28 maggio 1871. A seguito delle sconfitte militari della Francia contro la Prussia, il 4 settembre 1870 la popolazione di Parigi impose la proclamazione della Repubblica, contando di ottenere riforme sociali e la prosecuzione della guerra. Quando il governo provvisorio deluse le sue aspettative e l'Assemblea nazionale, eletta l'8 febbraio 1871, impose la pace e minacciò il ritorno della monarchia, il 18 marzo 1871 Parigi insorse cacciando il governo Thiers che aveva tentato di disarmare la città, e il 26 marzo elesse direttamente il governo cittadino, sopprimendo l'istituto parlamentare. La Comune, che adottò a proprio simbolo la bandiera rossa, eliminò l'esercito permanente e armò i cittadini, stabilì l'istruzione laica e gratuita, rese elettivi i magistrati, retribuì i funzionari pubblici e i membri del Consiglio della Comune con salari prossimi a quelli operai, favorì le associazioni dei lavoratori ed iniziò il massacro degli oppositori, quali i cittadini fedeli al Governo legittimo e i religiosi. L'opera della Comune fu interrotta dalla reazione del Governo e dell'Assemblea Nazionale, stabiliti a Versailles. Iniziati i combattimenti nei primi giorni di aprile, l'esercito comandato da Mac-Mahon pose fine all'esperienza della Comune entrando a Parigi il 21 maggio e massacrando in una settimana almeno 20.000 parigini compromessi con la rivolta. Seguirono decine di migliaia di condanne e di deportazioni, mentre migliaia di parigini fuggirono all'estero”. Rara a reperirsi e ancor più raro, completo di tutte le sue parti. Rif.

3 ouvrages reliés en un volume in-12, demi-percaline chagrinée vert bronze de l'époque, dos lisse orné de filets dorés, titre doré, tranches mouchetées. 1- Edition originale. Ouvrier teinturier, militant et propagandiste phalanstérien, l'auteur revendique comme fouriériste l'idée de l'organisation du travail et affirme qu'en dehors de cette doctrine, il n'y a pas d'organisation de travail qui soit réalisable. "Ce livre est de nature à aider puissamment à la propagation des doctrines économiques de l'Ecole sociétaire, notamment parmi les industriels" (Catalogue raisonné de la Librairie Sociétaire). (Del Bo, p. 21. Maitron, I, 302). 2- Seconde édition considérablement augmentée de ce célèbre manifeste de l'Ecole Sociétaire dans lequel Victor Considérant expose le programme du Parti auquel il imprime sa propre vision. Cf. analyse in : Dommanget, 'V. considérant', p. 22 et s. 3- "Troisième édition". Condisciple de Victor Considérant à l'École Polytechnique, gagné à la cause phalanstérienne par celui-ci, H. Renaud devint l'un des disciples les plus orthodoxes de l'École. Il donne dans cet ouvrage un "résumé fidèle de la doctrine de Fourier", des conceptions philosophiques qui ont conduit son maître à élaborer son système et tire les ultimes conséquences politiques et sociales de l'application de la "loi de l'harmonie universelle". (Del Bo, p. 41. Maitron, III, p. 296). Rousseurs au dernier titre. Papier des plats frotté. Bon exemplaire, relié, de ce recueil de trois essais "canoniques" dans l'histoire du fouriérisme.
In-12, demi-basane vert bronze de l'époque, dos lisse, xxx, (2), 256 p. Edition à la date de l'originale. Parmi les derniers ouvrages de V. Hennequin que Brunet ('Fous littéraires', p. 96) qualifie de "fou exceptionnel de sang rassis". "Hennequin écrivait dans les airs avec les doigts, prétendait correspondre avec les esprits par une trompe aromale (...). 'Sauvons le genre humain' lui aurait été dicté par l''âme de la Terre". Disciple puis rival de Fourier (...) c'est plutôt du côté de la morale sexuelle qu'il entend amender Fourier (...). Il apporte quelques précisions sur la fameuse "queue", le "membre pivotal" attribué par Fourier aux Solariens, et qui selon Hennequin aurait été à la fois une arme puissante et un superbe ornement, "doué d'une force gigantesque et d'une dextérité infinie" (Blavier, 'Fous littéraires', p. 301-302). "Il célèbre la sainteté de la femme, il professe que 'tous les amours sont bons'; il fait grand cas des 'séries' analogiques entre les passions, la musique, les couleurs et en tire de nouveaux plans de société phalanstérienne. Métaphysiquement, il voit dans notre âme une partie composante de Dieu et croit à une métempsycose ascensionnelle, dont Victor Hugo pourra s'inspirer ; enfin, d'après lui, les âmes individuelles fusionneront ‘dans un grand fleuve qui sera l'âme d'un satellite ou d'une planète’ " (A. Viatte, 'V. Hugo et les illuminés de son temps', p. 144 et s.). Sur le système cosmogonique de V. Hennequin, cf. M. Nathan, 'Le ciel des fouriéristes', P.U. de Lyon, p. 114 sq. (Del Bo, p. 74). Bon exemplaire.
In-12, plein veau havane de l'époque, dos lisse orné de caissons fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux, armes dorées au centre des plats, filet doré sur les coupes, dentelle intérieure, tranches rouges, (5) f., 273, (1) p. bl., xij, (1) f. d'errata. Edition originale de cet ouvrage jamais réédité en l’état mais considérablement modifié sous le titre de ‘Observations sur l’histoire de la Grèce’. Mably conçut cet important essai de philosophie politique sur le modèle des 'Considérations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains ' de Montesquieu. Il y expose une théorie originale de gouvernement républicain "mixte", autoritaire, égalitaire et communautaire, idéal spartiate utopique opposé au luxe et à la propriété privée, qui constituera l’un des fondements idéologiques des Jacobins sous la Révolution.

In-8, demi-veau rouge de l'époque, dos lisse, titre doré, v, 587 p. Deuxième édition augmentée. Préface de Ferdinand Dreyfus. L'étude est précédée d'un historique des "retraites pour la vieillesse" en France, depuis les généreux essais de la République de 1848 jusqu'aux propositions de 1880. Ces dernières devaient aboutir, après trente années d'études, à la loi fondatrice de 1910 sur la prévoyance obligatoire inspirée par la doctrine solidariste et organisée par Léon Bourgeois. L'organisation du service de l'assurance forme la quatrième partie du traité. L'auteur était membre de l'institut des actuaires français, chef de bureau à la Caisse des Dépôts et secrétaire du conseil supérieur des retraites ouvrières. Importantes annexes: textes de loi, tables de concordance, index détaillé. Bon exemplaire, intérieur frais
In 8, pp. XV + 228 + (2b) con 2 tavv. f.t. con ritratti di Amilcare Cipriani. Fioriture sparse. Legatura in mz. pl. coeva. Scritto in cui l'A. tenta di dimostrare come la condanna ai lavori forzati per l'omicidio che Amilcare Cipriani commise in Egitto sia sbagliata, poiche' il patriota italiano uccise per legittima difesa, e si ricostruisce l'intera vicenda processuale. Amilcare Cipriani fu una delle grandi figure del socialismo anarchico. Disertore nel '59 da Tortona per seguire Garibaldi in Sicilia, fu nuovamente fra le file garibaldine nel 1862, riusci' quindi a non farsi catturare dopo l'episodio d'Aspromonte, e a fuggire in Grecia. Non potendo tornare in Italia per non finire in carcere, ando' in Egitto dove si impegno' nell'esplorazione delle fonti del Nilo. In Egitto uccise in una rissa un italiano. Fu poi a Parigi durante l'insurrezione popolare che condusse alla formazione della Comune. Catturato, condannato a morte, ebbe la pena commutata per grazia governativa, e fu deportato in Nuova Caledonia. Nel 1881 ritorno' in Italia e venne immediatamente arrestato con l'accusa di cospirazione. Nel 1882 fu processato ad Ancona per i fatti egiziani e condannato a vent'anni di lavori forzati da scontare a Portolongone. Il processo al nuovo ?eroe proletario? attiro' l'attenzione dell'opinione pubblica, divisa tra colpevolisti ed innocentisti. Nel 1882, sebbene il processo si fosse concluso con una piena condanna, era stato impossibile arginare la crescita di popolarita' di Cipriani sostenuta da un movimento innocentista che trovava concorde non solo tutta la sinistra ma anche personalita' di spicco della cultura e delle istituzioni del nuovo Stato (Giosue' Carducci, Ricciotti Garbali, Felice Cavallotti, e, dalla Francia, Louise Michel, Bientot Malon, Eduard Vaillant). Nel 1886, alle elezioni politiche, fu presentata la sua 'candidatura di protesta' nei collegi di Ravenna e Forli', dove risulto' eletto plebiscitariamente. Nel 1888, grazie anche alle pressioni popolari, il nuovo processo sui fatti egiziani lo assolse da ogni accusa. Prototipo esemplare del rivoluzionario di mestiere, generoso, confuso, avventuriero, tra Garibaldi e Che Guevara, riusci' ad incarnare su di se' le aspirazioni del socialismo utopistico filtrate attraverso il mito risorgimentale italiano.
4 tomes reliés en 2 volumes in-12, demi-chagrin auburn de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de compartiments garnis de filets à froid en place des nerfs et de petits fers aldins répétés au centre, titres dorés, tranches mouchetées, (4), iij, 285, (1) p. de table ; (4), iij, 285 p., (1) f. de table et (4), 287, (1) p. de table ; (4), 285 p., (1) f. de table, une grande planche dépliante gravée. Edition originale, contenant au tome 4 une planche dépliante par Tony Johannot, prospectus de souscription pour l'édition illustrée. Le livre, qui a été rédigé au jour le jour en pleine révolution, s'achève la veille de l'élection présidentielle de décembre. Offrant une suite à son Jérôme Paturot, Louis Reybaud replace son personnage dans la Révolution de 1848. Après avoir assisté au désordre que causa l'arrivée de la république dans sa petite ville, J. Paturot monte à Paris pour trouver un chaos pire encore. C'est l'occasion pour l'auteur de rendre compte des principaux événements de 1848, de mener une charge féroce contre les ridicules à la mode, contre les institutions nouvelles, comme contre les hommes du gouvernement provisoire (Lamartine, Ledru-Rollin, Dupont de l'Eure, Louis Blanc, etc.). (Vicaire, VI, 1102). Bel exemplaire, sans rousseur, très frais, très bien relié à l'époque.
4 volumes in-8, brochés, couvertures imprimées, (4), 475 p. les 4 volumes en pagination continue. Édition originale et unique, publiée en fascicules, de cet essai que Sorel composa en même temps que les Réflexions sur la violence. Dans cette critique radicale des Origines du Christianisme de Renan, Sorel propose une interpréta-tion alternative qu’il veut exemplaire : le triomphe historique du christianisme sur un judaïsme analysé comme décadent, a été assuré par ceux qui ont su élever la scission chrétienne à son maxi-mum de pureté, de vigueur et d’exaltation. "Pareto tenait [cet ouvrage], à peu près inconnu en France, pour une des œuvres maîtresses de Sorel" (Michel Charzat). L'ouvrage se divise en 4 parties: I- Introduction (1905). II- Renan historien du judaïsme (1906). III- Renan historien du christianisme (1906). IV- Les premiers temps apostoliques (1906). (Delesalle, 'Bibliographie sorélienne', n°188). Couvertures empoussiérées, quelques rousseurs.
