Antichi pecetta e timbretto di proprietà privata al frontespizio che attestano l'appartenenza del volume prima, all'avvocato Domenico Magiera e poi all'avvocato Alfonso Magiera, ambedue appartenente all'antica famiglia ebrea di origini polacche dei Magiera. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima rarissima traduzione italiana, nessun esemplare censito in ICCU, di una delle opere principali del celeberrimo scrittore e botanico francese, Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (Le Havre, 19 gennaio 1737 - Éragny, 21 gennaio 1814). Sant-Pierre fu uno degli scrittori di maggior successo del settecento e le sue opere vennero tradotte in numerosissime lingue. Autore di alcuni dei più importanti racconti del settecento, ebbe una vita avventurosa. A soli dodici anni intraprese un viaggio fino alla Martinica che lo segnò profondamente. Militare di carriera partecipò alla campagnia d'Assia del 1760 perdendo i gradi militari guadagnati sul campo a causa della sua insubordinazione. Tornato a Parigi si diede all'insegnamento della matematica ma la vita sedentaria e monotona che viveva non riusciva a soddisfarlo. Si rimise quindi in viaggio viaggiando attraverso i Paesi Bassi, Germania e Russia (dove sembra che fu amante di Caterina II di Russia), poi di nuovo a Dresda, Varsavia e Berlino dove si fermò per un certo periodo ospite di Federico II. Viaggiato di nuovo attraverso la Francia si decise a tornare alle Mauritius (dal 1768 al 1771). Giunse di nuovo a Parigi dove si stabilì e dove legò con gli ambienti illuministi ed in particolare con Rousseau. Fu qui che mise a frutto le sue esperienze di viaggio che utilizzò per ambientare i suoi romanzi che ottennero da subito un enorme successo. Con la sua opera "Études de la Nature" nel 1784 la sua fama e le sue ricchezze crebbero ulteriormente. "Luigi XVI lo nominò intendente del Jardin des plantes, la Rivoluzione professore di morale all'École normale, quindi membro dell'Académie des sciences morales (1795); Napoleone, che lo ammirava moltissimo, lo pensionò." (da Treccani). La sua opera anticipa e apre la strada al romanticismo del primo ottocento che in buona parte anticipò, tanto che in molte sue opere non si può non notare il gusto per le rovine, i sepolcri ed il pathos romantico. La Capanna Indiana come altri suoi romanzi si inserisce perfettamente nell'ambito delle utopie naturistico-umanitarie nate sull'onda della filosofia di Rousseau ed è uno dei più chiari esempi del genere che allo stesso Sat-Pierre è considerato l'inventore, il viaggio pittoresco dove le descrizioni di luoghi naturali splendidi viene arricchita attraverso l'utilizzo di un linguaggio elevato fatto di termini scientifici. Il romanzo "La Capanna Indiana" è un viaggio attraverso i paesaggi dell'India alla ricerca della verità ad alcune domande esistenziali come "Dov'è la verità? Con quali mezzi possiamo trovarla (gli uomini hanno tutti diverse percezioni della verità, anche facendo affidamento sulla ragione)? In quali circostanze la verità può essere colta?". Dopo aver cercato la verità in lungo ed in largo per tutta l'India ed i personaggi più dotti, le domande trovano la risposta presso un paria che spiega al protagonista che dobbiamo cercare la verità con un cuore semplice, essa si trova solo in natura e dovrebbe essere detta solo alle persone buone e cioè a coloro che sono pronti ad ascoltarla. L'opera descrive perfettamente alcune degli aspetti più interessanti e curiosi della società e dei costumi indiani dell'epoca. Opera rarissima in questa prima edizione italiana.

In 16° (cm 11,7 x 19,3), legatura piena pelle marmoreggiata coeva, titolo su tassello, fregi in oro al dorso, pp VIII, 184, impresa (di Barthélémy Chirol ad istanza di Gabriel Cramer) al frontespizio. Esemplare in buone condizioni. Destinati a porre rimedio all'ingiustizia dell'esecuzione del generale Lally, i "Fragments" apparvero, nella prima versione di XX Articoli, verso la fine del mese di luglio 1773. Questa prima edizione di Ginevra, impressa da Barhélémy Chirol su richiesta di Gabriel Cramer, fu seguita da vicino dall'edizione di Parigi e da una edizione pirata di Londra. Nell'edizione delle "Oeuvres complètes" di Kehl, il testo volterriano fu radicalmente alterato su autorizzazione di Condorcet, che implicato nell'"affaire Lally", volle "rettificare" gli "errori" di Voltaire. Come nell'"affaire Calas", Voltaire prese le difese di un individuo accusato ingiustamente, uscendo alla fine vittorioso dal confronto con il potere giudiziario. La critica volterriana della giustizia francese nell'opera, è la stessa che V. scaglia dai tempi del suo "Commentaire sur le livre Des délits et des peines de Beccaria": processi segreti, giudizi vaghi, codice di leggi fatto apposta per precisare i delitti inesistenti. Inoltre V. approfitta del teatro della guerra in India per colmare la sua curiosità sulle civiltà orientali, soprattutto in vista della campagnacontro la religione giudeo-cristiana. L'India è secondo lui la più antica civiltà, ed è sintesi della grandezza e insieme del ridicolo della specie umana. Esemplari censiti in COPAC.
