Librairie de L. Hachette, Paris. 1856-1858. ca.9.000p.Sider. Demi-veau. Tres bon état. 20 volumes. Louis de Rouvroy, duc de Saint-Simon, GE ( 16 January 1675 - 2 March 1755), was a French soldier, diplomat, and memoirist. He was born in Paris at the Hôtel Selvois, 6 rue Taranne (demolished in 1876 to make way for the Boulevard Saint-Germain). The family's ducal peerage (duché-pairie), granted in 1635 to his father Claude de Rouvroy (1608-1693), served as both perspective and theme in Saint-Simon's life and writings. He was the second and last Duke of Saint-Simon. His enormous memoirs are a classic of French literature, giving the fullest and most lively account of the court at Versailles of Louis XIV and the Régence at the start of Louis XV's reign.

Timetunnel to the 15th century: 1493's must-have history book and city guide by Hartmann Schedel Hartmann Schedel&;s Weltchronik, or Chronicle of the World (better known today as the Nuremberg Chronicle, after the German city in which it was created), was a groundbreaking encyclopedic work and at the time the most lavishly illustrated book ever printed in Europe. Both a historical reference work and a contemporary inventory of urban culture at the end of the 15th century, the Chronicle was to have a remarkable influence on the cultural, ecclesiastical and intellectual history of the Middle Ages. It was particularly notable for its vast quantity of woodcut illustrations (more than 1,800) depicting events from the Bible, human monstrosities, portraits of kings, queens, saints and martyrs, and allegorical pictures of miracles, as well as views of a great number of ""modern"" cities, many of which had never been documented before. Today, copies of the Chronicle sell for up to 800,000 dollars; we?ve procured a rare hand-colored copy, true to the original in every respect, and created a complete facsimile of utmost quality. In case you don`t read Early Modern High German, the comprehensive booklet, with summaries of the book?s main stories, provides a user-friendly way to explore this amazing historical masterpiece.

Préface sur Hoffmann par Christian. E.T.A. Hoffmann; 24 January 1776 - 25 June 1822) was a German Romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist. His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffmann appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana[4] is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler. Hoffmann's stories highly influenced 19th-century literature, and he is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement.

Han var født i La Rochelle sidst i det 17. århundrede af adelig reformert slægt. Allerede i Rochelle må han have skrevet sin til Frederik IV dedikerede Histoire de Dannemarc (Amsterdam 1730, Paris 1732), der er den første danmarkshistorie på fransk. Efter selv at være kommet til Danmark (før 1741) fremsatte han forskellige projekter om oprettelse af silkefabrikker og dyrkede morbærtræer til silkeorme uden for Nørreport. Sammen med Paul Henri Mallet udgav han fra 1753-58 det litterære månedskrift Mercure Danois. Han oversatte på fransk Ludvig Holbergs Moralske Tanker, Frederik Christian von Havens Efterretninger om Rusland, Hans Egedes Grønlands Beskrivelse og manuskriptet til Frederik Ludvig Nordens Ægyptiske Rejse. Når endelig nævnes hans Ord-Bog over danske Ordsprog, paa Fransk oversatte (1757), vil det ses, at denne flittige skribents virksomhed for at gøre dansk historie og åndsliv kendt i udlandet ikke har været ringe. Alligevel vidner ""ordbogens""snurrige sproglige misforståelser om, at hans kendskab til dansk langt fra var perfekt (se N.M. Petersen: Den danske Literaturs Historie, III, 1855-56, s. 536 f.).

The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes, intended by Burroughs to be read in any order. The novel follows the junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases, from the U.S. to Mexico, eventually to Tangier and the dreamlike Interzone. The novel was highly controversial, and its supposed obscenity led to a series of high-profile legal challenges. The novel remains divisive, but both admirers and critics recognize it as one of the defining works of the Beat generation. In 1957, Allen Ginsberg submitted the Naked Lunch manuscript to Olympia Press, which had a reputation for publishing controversial novels such as Tropic of Cancer and Lolita. Olympia rejected the manuscript, arguing that it was inaccessible and lacked structure.

Pontoppidan kan placeres både tidsmæssigt og teologisk som en mellemmand mellem oplysningstiden og pietismen. Han var en aktiv forfatter, der pga. sin higen efter kundskab havde et vidtforgrenet interessefelt. Det gjorde ham i stand til at skrive skønlitterære bøger, historiske værker og topografiske værker. I 1763 påbegyndte hanogsåudgivelsen af en stor danmarksbeskrivelse (Den danske Atlas), som han dog ikke nåede at færdiggøre inden sin død i 1764. Med 2 s. med håndskrevne noter. Med samtlige kobberstukne plancher og kort.
