Book First Edition
Original Wraps. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition In English. First impression of the first edition in English. Translated from the French by Richard Sieburth. Black and white frontispiece of: 'Evenement des plus rares, ou L'histoire du Sr abbe Cte de Buquoy.' ***Near fine in illustrated French style textured self-wraps. No inscriptions. No tears. Pages clean. Spine tight. Edges of wrapper slightly rubbed. Wrappers bright and clean. ***280 x 216 mm. 147 pages. ***''First published as a feuilleton in a left-wing newspaper in 1850, The Salt Smugglers provides a political satire of the waning days of France's short-lived Second Republic. With nods to Diderot and Sterne, this shaggy-dog story deals less with contraband salt smugglers than with the subversive power of fiction to transgress legal and aesthetic boundaries. By writing what he claimed was a purely documentary account of his picaresque adventures in search of an elusive book recording the true history of a certain seventeenth-century swashbuckler, Nerval sought to deride the press censors of the day who forbade the serial publication of novels in newspapers - and in the process he provocatively deconstructed existing distinctions between fact and fiction. Never before translated into English and still unavailable as a separately published volume in French, The Salt Smugglers is a pre-postmodern gem of experimental prose. Richard Sieburth's vibrant translation and illuminating afterword remind us why Gérard de Nerval's blend of sly irony and acerbic social criticism proved so inspiring to authors as various as Baudelaire, Proust, and Leiris.' ***'Poet, storyteller, autobiographer, translator, and visionary, Gérard de Nerval (1808-55) explored the blurry boundaries between dream and reality, fact and fiction, imagination and madness in his groundbreaking writings. Nerval was a pioneering modernist, a precursor of the French Symbolists, and a vital influence on writers such as Marcel Proust, Andre Breton, and Antonin Artaud.' (Quotes taken from the front and back wrappers). ***First impression of the first edition in English.
