Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Thus. First Modern Library edition, Toledano 149.1, binding 4, yellow Bernhard endpapers. Spine toned, pages lightly toned. 1928 Hard Cover. xxxi, 192 pp. Introduction by Harry Salpeter. "When the young priest Francesco Vela becomes the incumbent of the parish of Soana, a small village in Ticino, he is tasked with bringing back into the Catholic fold a family of shepherds, the Scarabotas, who are accused of indecency and incest. Yet, after visiting them among the grandiose scenery of the alpine mountains and meeting their beautiful daughter Agata, Francesco experiences a spiritual and sensual awakening that throws his world and his beliefs upside down, forcing him to choose between his faith and his desire to connect with nature. This multi-layered tale, first published in 1918, is widely regarded as the crowning achievement of Gerhart Hauptmann, the recipient of the 1912 Nobel Prize in Literature and one of the most important exponents of German Naturalism.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Dr. Johnson & Mr. Boswell' is a compelling exploration of one of the most famous literary partnerships in history. This work examines the complex and fascinating relationship between the formidable lexicographer and moralist Samuel Johnson and his devoted biographer, James Boswell. Author Harry Salpeter delves into the distinct personalities of these two giants of 18th-century English letters, tracing how their unlikely friendship shaped the landscape of biography and literary record-keeping.The narrative provides a detailed portrait of Dr. Johnson's massive intellect and his struggle with melancholy, contrasted against Boswell's eager, observant, and sometimes erratic nature. By analyzing the dynamic between the mentor and his protégé, the work offers valuable insights into the social and intellectual life of London during the Enlightenment. The text captures the essence of their legendary conversations, their shared travels, and the mutual influence they exerted on each other's lives and legacies.An essential study for readers of English literature and history, 'Dr. Johnson & Mr. Boswell' brings to life the era of 'The Dictionary of the English Language' and 'The Life of Samuel Johnson.' It serves as an evocative examination of character, friendship, and the enduring power of the written word in documenting a life of genius.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
