Glassine DJ/Good; nips, chips to upper edges & loss to upper front corner. (2) PO names to fEP (one w/strike-out). Translation of a humorous satire on the woes of marriage translated from a version penned in the 16th century by illustrious statesman and historian, Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527); author of the treatise on statecraft, The Prince, in which it is argued, for pragmatism, political cunning and unethical methods of governance is justified. It has been suggested that this lively novella of marital unhappiness by Machiavelli is autobiographical --- that antecedents can be traced to old Latin and sacred writings of the Hebrews, renders it unlikely. Though unstated, this edition is of Thomas Roscoe's translation.

SUB-TITLE: The Letters of Guy de Maupassant and Marie Bashkirtseff. SYNOPSIS: This collection of twelve letters is lively literary entertainment. Marie Bashkirtseff, at twenty-four a scholar, socialite, musician and artist, writes incognito to de Maupassant, then a highly successful writer. Maupassant replies guardedly at first, but at length, intrigued by her gaiety and provocativeness, he demands to know her name--and for Marie the duel of wits is won. Danuta Laskowska's charming illustrations interpret perfectly the spirit of the letters. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
