About This Item

Paris, Michel Lévy, 1870.

2 volumes large 8vo [227 x 149 mm] of: I/ (2) ll., 427 pp.; II/ (2) ll., 331 pp. (catalogue of the editor). Bound in light-brown quarter-morocco, spines ribbed and decorated, untrimmed, top edge gilt, original blue wrappers and spine bound in. Contemporary binding signed Marius Magnin.

First edition.

Vicaire, Manuel de l'amateur de livres du XIXe siècle, 726.

Story of a young man, started at the end of 1863 and written from September 1864 to May 1869, "L'Education sentimentale" was published in November 1869. Even though it is full of autobiographical details, the work has nothing in common with the youth novel written under this title in 1845.

The enchantress presence of Madame Arnoux who is predominant in the entire work as Madame Schlesinger was in Flaubert's thoughts, makes most certainly this novel an indisputable testimony on the writer's sentimental life, with the interferences and the cross reference between dream and reality that this work is the bitter and burning fruit of. Woven with real and imaginary "The Education" is also the moral story of men who lived under the July Monarchy, and the evocation of all the Parisian life of the fifth decade of the XIXth century, this political and social ferment that led to the Revolution of 1848 and the coup d'état.

" How no tot recognize today in this archetypal Flaubert-type book and this Goethe-like work by its scope, one of the major books of modern literature, which has seen, afterwards, so many copies of this melancholic hero. Some pages as the ones describing the encounter of the two lovers, at the end of the novel, are among the purest and most lyric of all Flaubert work. "

A fine wide-margined copy, with some untrimmed edges, preserved in its elegant contemporary bindings with the original blue wrappers bound in.

Edition originale.

Vicaire, Manuel de l'amateur de livres du XIXe siècle, 726.

Histoire d'un jeune homme, commencée à la fin de 1863 et écrite de septembre 1864 à mai 1869, " L'Education sentimentale " a paru en novembre 1869. Bien que riche de nombre détails autobiographiques, l'œuvre n'a rien de commun avec le roman de jeunesse écrit sous ce titre en 1845.

La présence enchanteresse de Madame Arnoux qui domine l'œuvre entière comme Madame Schlesinger domina la pensée de Flaubert font assurément de ce roman un témoignage irrécusable sur la vie sentimentale de l'écrivain, avec les interférences et les recoupements du rêve et de la réalité dont cette œuvre est le fruit amer et brûlant. Tissée de réel et d'imaginaire " L'Education " est aussi l'histoire morale des hommes qui vécurent sous la monarchie de juillet, et l'évocation de toute la vie parisienne de la cinquième décade du XIXe siècle, cette fermentation politique et sociale qui conduisit à la révolution de 1848 et au coup d'état.

" Comment aujourd'hui ne pas reconnaître en ce livre flaubertien par excellence et en cette œuvre goethéenne par son ampleur, un des livres capitaux de la littérature moderne qui a vu, par la suite, tant de copies de ce héros mélancolique. Certaines pages comme celles décrivant la rencontre des deux amants, à la fin du roman, comptent parmi les plus pures et les plus lyriques de toute l'œuvre flaubertienne ".

Bel exemplaire à grandes marges, partiellement non rogné, conservé dans ses élégantes reliures de l'époque avec les couvertures bleues conservées.
