Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: very good. First Edition. First printing of this Basic Books publication, large octavo size, 501 pp. Jean-Jacques Rousseau's (1712-1778) philosophy heavily influenced his contemporaries and helped to usher in the Age of Enlightenment, which subsequently influenced "the devel…opment of modern political, economic, and educational thought" (n.b., quote from Wiki). This work, "Emile", "is a book we misunderstand at our peril. It lies at the source of moral, educational, and political ideas that define the contemporary outlook." (n.b, from jacket flap). This a new transation by Bloom, with an "introduction which relates the structure and themes of the book to the vital preoccupations of our own age." (ibid). Somewhat scarce in the markeplace in the hardbound version. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full taupe cloth over boards, red lettering and decoration stamped onto the spine; binding large octavo size (9 3/8" by 6 1/2"), pagination: [i-iv] v-ix {1, blank] [1-2] 3-501. The dust jacket with summary of the work on both flaps, short bio on Allan Bloom on the back flap. ___CONDITION: Volume fine overall, the boards clean, the corners lightly bumped but without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and the sole prior owner marking being a name and date, in blue ink, at the top corner of the front free endpaper.
