Original ed. of this scandalous chronicle of the life of the King of Saxony, August II. “Advisor to Frederick the Great in Berlin and great European traveler, Pölnitz (1692-1775) gives us here a seductive portrait of the life at the court of Dresden in the eighteenth century, court that tried to imitate, without ever being able to equal, that of Versailles. Observer, intriguing and talkative, the author presents us with the pomp and wealth of the Nordic kingdom, as well as the erotic debauches of his king, Germanic Casanova having the reputation of having left behind some 400 illegitimate children “.

Originally published by Fenelon in 1699, this famous retelling of the Greek myth proved the authors undoing as the King of France took its content as a hidden criticism. English translation of Fénélon’s famous didactic novel, written for his student, the seven-year-old Duc de Bourgogne (grandson of Louis XIV and second in line to the throne). Published anonymously (and against the author’s intentions), it was widely perceived as a criticism of the King’s absolutist rule and was translated in many languages.

Frontispiece portrait, titles in red and black. Contemporary Cambridge style calf.

This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The History of the World is one of the better known literary achievements of Sir Walter Raleigh. The bibliographic life of the History is as interesting as was the life of its author, filled with successes, pitfalls and controversy. Sir Walter Raleigh was a contemporary of Shakespeare and a favorite among the court of Elizabeth I. Not without enemies, Raleigh was also deeply mistrusted by Elizabeth’s successor James I, who imprisoned him for treason upon ascending the throne. It was during this 13 year confinement in the Tower of London (1603-1616) that Raleigh wrote his History of the World. The work was originally conceived as a five volume set covering ancient history to the present, though Raleigh only completed this first volume. On publication, it was perceived as a thinly veiled critique of kings and did not improve Raleigh’s standing in court. Once published, James had it immediately suppressed and subsequently issued with no title page, and therefore no authorial acknowledgement.
