Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st English Translation Edition. Hardback. Pages From The Goncourt Journal. Rolled spine. Wear and tear to D/J. Couple of pieces of D/J. missing. This newly translated selection from one of the greatest and most celebrated diaries in the world is taken from the first publication in France of the complete Journal, begun only in 1956 and concluded three years later. Though the authors differed in age and temperament (Edmond, born in 1822, being slow, serious, and very much the responsible elder brother while Jules, born in 1830, was volatile, quick-witted and mischievous, ver much the spoilt young brother), in instinct, taste and sensibility the two men were one.

Illustrated. 434 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
