157 pages including index. Haida carvers on Canada's Pacific Coast have carved figures from black rock for about 150 years. The genesis of this book was when two dedicated collectors donated their works to the British Columbia Provincial Museum, thus assembling the largest and best collection of these carvings known to the Museum. The benefactors, Francis and Kathleen Reif, suggested that the Museum produce a well illustrated book as a definitive scholarly work on the black, Haida carvings. This volume is the result. Contains dozens of excellent black and white photographs plus extensive text and descriptions. Clean, bright and unmarked with zero wear. Book

Exemplaire du 2ème tirage sans les errata. Les "Contes moraux" de Marmontel sont une série de récits courts qui explorent les mœurs et les valeurs de la société du XVIIIe siècle. Chaque conte met en scène des personnages de différentes classes sociales confrontés à des dilemmes moraux ou à des situations révélatrices de leur caractère. L'auteur utilise l'ironie et l'humour pour critiquer les vices et les travers de son époque tout en proposant des leçons de vertu. À sa parution, les "Contes moraux" ont connu un grand succès et ont contribué à la renommée de Marmontel. Ils ont influencé de nombreux écrivains et penseurs de l'époque des Lumières en France et ailleurs. Les contes sont encore étudiés aujourd'hui pour leur valeur littéraire et leur pertinence morale. Malgré les défauts de la reliure, exemplaire intéressant avec un texte en assez bon état et un bon état général des planches.
