Halévy Ludovic 1834 1908 (121 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. This is an English translation of the classic French novel, "The Abbe Constantin" by Ludovic Halevy. When Halevy first offered his book to the French reading public it was welcomed with acclaim, for its simple story of good people eking a living in a small country village was such a change from the typical satiric fare that had been prominent in popular books. "The Abbe Constantin" was so popular that it was reissued many times by various publishers both in France, and in English translation in England and the United States. This is a translation into English, but the translator is not credited. This edition was issued circa 1897 by The Edwards Publishing Company in New York. It is a petite volume, measuring approximately 4 inches x 5 3/4 inches, and is bound in decorated cloth. Little books such as this were considered gift editions , and so we see by an inked inscription, that it was indeed given as a gift in 1897 (To Mrs Cowan for Christmas, from Laura. 1897).
