A leather bound copy of this scarce retelling of Don Juan by Countess Ida von Hahn-Hahn. This scarce novel by Countess Ida von Hahn-Hahn echoes Don Joan as the female protagonist navigates a world of adultery on the Orient. Whilst her writings about the German aristocracy were favoured at the time, Hahn-Hahn also wrote tragedies influenced by the French novelist George Sand. The strong female characters in Hahn-Hahn's work are indicative of her campaigns for the emancipation of women, and the countess herself defied convention by living with Adolf von Bystram unmarried for 21 years. Prior owner's ink inscription to the title page, 'Shabury'. In a black quarter calf binding over cloth boards. Externally, smart. Lightly rubbed to the boards and the head of the spine, with some light bumping and rubbing to the extremities. The front hinge is starting, and is a little tender. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are foxed throughout. Very Good. Seller Inventory # 861N58
