Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. [2004] First edition hardcover and dustjacket. Binding is black, silver lettering, 431 pages. Condition of hardcover; Minor bumps to edges of top of spine; else Near Fine. Stored in temperature-controlled room-free of smelly humidity stains and the smell of smoke from a cigarette or cigar smoker. Dustjacket: Light shelf wear, else overall Near Fine. Price intact on spine. Actually, book/dustjacket is in gift-giving condition. This is a fascinating document of Déguignet, a literate peasant, but also for his skepticism regarding the church; his interest in science, astronomy, and languages; and for his keen-often caustic-observations of the world and people around him. He was born to landless farmers in Brittany (France) in 1834. He eventually became a soldier (a benefit because of his knowledge of the vast world). He learned how to speak Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish. He read history, philosophy, politics, and literature. He fought in the Crimean war, served as attendant at Emperor Napoleon III's coronation, supported Italy's liberation struggle, and was deployed to defend the puppet emperor Maximilian in Mexico. A Fascinating story. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
