Onzieme Mille. Two Volumes (complete). Octavo. Volume I: Frontispiece-Portrait, 401 pages. / Volume II: 591 pages. Hardcover / Beautiful, blindstamped cloth with gilt lettering on spine. Excellent condition with only minor signs of wear. Inscribed by a family-member to Marie Cohn (Marie Helene Johanna Weber (Meyer-Cohn) 1887-1967), daughter of Berlin Banker Dr.Heinrich Cohn, on her birthday in 1898 (1887-1967). Marie Cohn has later added her own name to the books and dated her personal enry to 27.II.1898. Marie Cohn (1887-1967) was the eldest daughter of Dr. Heinrich Cohn, director of a private Berlin bank founded by one of the most established Jewish families, the Meyer-Cohns, in Berlin. (Source: Pinterest) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Marie Bashkirtseff, born Maria Konstantinovna Bashkirtseva (24 November [O.S. 12 November] 1858 31 October 1884), was an émigré artist who was born into a noble family on their estate near the city of Poltava. She lived and worked in Paris, and died at the age of 25. From approximately the age of 13, Bashkirtseff kept a journal, and it is probably for this that she is most famous today. It has been called "a strikingly modern psychological self-portrait of a young, gifted mind", and her urgent prose, which occasionally breaks out into dialogue, remains extremely readable. She was multilingual and despite her self-involvement, was a keen observer with an acute ear for hypocrisy, so that her journal also offers a near-novelistic account of the late nineteenth century European bourgeoisie. A consistent theme throughout her journal is her deep desire to achieve fame, inflected by her increasing fear that her intermittent illnesses might turn out to be tuberculosis. In a prefatory section written toward the end of her life, in which she recounts her family history, she writes, "If I do not die young I hope to live as great artist; but if I die young, I intend to have my journal, which cannot fail to be interesting, published." Similarly: "When I am dead, my life, which appears to me a remarkable one, will be read. (The only thing wanting is that it should have been different)." In effect, the first half of Bashkirtseff's journal is a coming-of-age story while the second is an account of heroic suffering. (Wikipedia).…
