What Our Customers Say...

Description

Early Edition, Leather Binding

In the original Italian. This work was first published in 1823. Mazoni had help from his friends for subsequent revisions which were published in 1825 and 1827. This novel is regarded as Mazoni's most famous work. It is also seen as the paradigm of modern Italian language. This is the third Baudry edition, and is therefore an Italian language edition published in France. Complete in three volumes. A smart set in a contemporary mottled calf binding.

Condition

In uniform mottled calf bindings. Externally, very smart with light shelfwear to the extremities. Spine label to volume II is lifting slightly. Internally, all volumes are firmly bound. Pages are very bright. Occasional scattered spots, heavier to the first and last few pages.

Very Good Indeed
