Condition: New. Print on Demand pp. 94.

First edition in French of the pseudonymous Siege of London (1885) (another condensed French edition of 40 pages only also appeared in the same year). An excellent example of the many British speculative novels spawned by the fear of invasion, from the 1871 Siege of Dorking to Erskine Childers's Riddle of the Sands (1903). In Posteritas' account, the invasion is set against the background of a collapsed Gladstone Liberal government and crisis in the Middle East. The French invade via Portsmouth and later Dover and Scotland, with the aid of the perfidious Irish, and the novel culminates with the bombardment of Westminster and the Battle of Hyde Park. 8vo (186 × 120 mm), pp. 108, including half-title. Original pictorial wrappers. Slightly dusty, spine cocked, slight tear at foot. A very good, unsophisticated copy. [JISC locates the Bodley copy only in the UK.].

In-12 de 108 pp.,percaline grise, couverture illustrée conservée (reliure de l'époque). Première édition française de l'ouvrage publié à Londres par Wyman en 1885, The Siege of London. Traduction par Augustin Garmon.Fiction politique où l'auteur décrit du point de vue conservateur, dans les quatre premiers chapitres, la situation de l'Angleterre sous le ministère du libéral William Gladstone (1880-1885), en portant l'accent sur sa politique extérieure (Boers, Égypte, Afghanistan).Les tensions internationales particulièrement vives en Égypte, aboutissent à une déclaration de guerre de la France, un conflit court mais intense qui voit les armées françaises débarquer et envahir en quelques mois l'Angleterre, - avec l'appui de l'Irlande qui aspire à son indépendance -, et, après un siège meurtrier de Londres, obtenir la capitulation de la "perfide Albion".Ğ The identity of Posteritas continues to elude the bibliographers. Definitely not a soldier, given his reckless handling of military operations ; undoubtely committed to thre Coservative cause, perhaps he was a politician ğ (Bristish future fiction).Bel exemplaire.
