Firm binding, clean text. Wraps partly sunned. Previous owner's blind stamp/half-title page, otherwise unmarked. *** "In this classic text on the 18th century and neoclassicism, Jean Starobinski pursues a subtle and brilliant meditation on the connections between art and revolution, comparing the style of the French Revolution as a political event to style in the contemporary visual arts. Rather than seeking a set of causal links between history and art, Starobinski finds ways to read the messages of both. Moving with graceful erudition over painting, architecture, music, philosophy, and political history, he enables us to see the art of David, Fuseli, Goya, Mozart, Boullee, Ledoux, and a host of others in a new perspective, as integral part of the events that changed the course of modern history. / Jean Starobinski is a Professor Honoraire at the University of Geneva." - Publisher.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Like New. Originally Published in France Under the. 383 xvii + pp. Virtually flawless copy with a very small random scribble inside front cover page top corner. Pictures of actual copy -not displayed here!- available upon request. Synopsis: With a new introduction by author Le Roy Ladurie, this special edition offers a fascinating history of a fourteenth-century village, Montaillou, in the mountainous region of southern France, almost destroyed by internal feuds and religious heterodoxy. Ladurie's portrait is based on a detailed register of Jacques Fournier, Bishop of Pamiers and future Pope Benedict XII, who conducted rigorous inquisition into heresy within his diocese. Fournier was a consummate inquisitor, an acute psychologist who was able to elicit from the accused the innermost secrets of their thoughts and actions. He was pitiless in the pursuit of error, and meticulous in recording that pursuit. LeRoy Ladurie analyzes the behavior, demography, social mentality, and cosmology of the community of peasants and shepherds, and vividly evokes the daily life of the village and mountain pastures. His portrait of Montaillou is dominated by the personal histories of two men: the cure Pierre Clergue, a brutal and powerful man who placed his enemies in the hands of the inquisitor; and the shepherd Pierre Maury, a friend of the Albigensian perfecti and a fatalist who returned from Spain to disappear in the inquisitor's prison in his own country. Montaillou, which has received even more praise than LeRoy Ladurie's earlier work, provides a portrait of a fascinating place with a dark, intriguing history. "Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie has had a success which few historians experience and which is usually reserved for the winner of the Prix Goncourt.Montaillou, which is the reconstruction of the social life of a medieval village, has been acclaimed by the experts as a masterpiece of ethnographic history and by the public as a sensational revelation of the thoughts, feelings, and activities of the ordinary people of the past."-Times Literary Supplement.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First American Edition, Stated. [FICTION]. J. M. G. Le Clezio. Translated by Barbara Bray. "Terra Amata." New York: Atheneum, 1969. First American edition, stated. English language. Hardcover in jacket. Black cloth boards with blue and red dye-stamped titling. 8 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. 16 oz. 220 pp. Light foxing. Text clean. Top edge stained black. Jacket with tears, wear, use, sticker residue. Good in Fair jacket. No ISBN. "Terra Amata was perceived to center on the 'perceptions and activities' of its protagonist Chancelade. The work seems to have been designed to overload the senses. According to one critic 'Chancelade has done nothing, suffered nothing, experienced nothing to make him worth our regard.' The story is that of Chancelade, from childhood to death; he sees the world in minute detail. 'Terra Amata,' combines Le Clezio's game-playing as the author with a savage lyricism reminiscent of Thomas Hardy.".…
