25,5 x 18 cm. 54 Seiten. Nachtblauer ecrasierter Orig.-Maroquinband mit Rückentitel und Kastenvergoldung, dreifachen Deckelfileten, Steh- u. Innenkantenvergoldung und Kopfgoldschnitt. In Orig.-Schuber. (Signiert: Officina Bodoni FEC:). - Gedruckt in 225 Exemplaren auf Fabriano Büttenpapier. Vorliegendes, eines von wenigen Exemplaren der Vorzugsausgabe in Maroquin. Die Sonette sind ein Zyklus von 44 Liebessonetten aus der Winterzeit 1846-1847, in denen die Dichterin ihre persönliche Liebesgeschichte poetisch verarbeitet. Die Gedichte schildern den inneren Weg von Zweifel, Zurückhaltung und Selbstunsicherheit hin zu wachsender Liebe, Vertrauen und emotionaler Hingabe. Im Zentrum steht die Liebe zu Robert Browning, die zunächst als kaum möglich erscheint, sich aber schließlich als lebensverändernde Kraft durchsetzt. Die Sonette kreisen um Themen wie seelische Nähe, geistige Verbundenheit, Angst vor Verlust und die Hoffnung auf erfüllte Liebe. Obwohl der Titel eine Übersetzung aus dem Portugiesischen suggeriert, handelt es sich um zutiefst persönliche, autobiografisch geprägte Liebeslyrik. - Tadelloses Exemplar dieser Rarität. - Mardersteig 12. - Schauer, Bd.
