Paperback. Condizione: Good. Published in 1830, Balzac's TREATISE ON ELEGANT LIVING was a keystone text on dandyism, one that preceded the writings of Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly and Charles Baudelaire and marked an important shift from the early dandyism of the British Regency to the intellectual and artistic dandyism of 19th-century France. Rife with aphorisms, anecdotes, and historical and personal illustrations, the book even features a fictious encounter with the legendary ur-dandy himself, Beau Brummell. Notes. 84p.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A how-to manual for the armchair adventurerPierre Mac Orlans 1920 Handbook for the Perfect Adventurer was at once a paean to the adventure story, a tongue-in-cheek guidebook to the genres real-life practitioners and a grim if unspoken coda to the disasters of World War I. It must be established as a law that adventure in itself does not exist, Mac Orlan stipulates. Adventure is in the mind of the one who pursues it, and no sooner is he able to touch it with his finger than it vanishes, to reappear much farther off in another form, at the limits of the imagination. This handbook outlines two classes of adventurer: the active adventurer (sailors, soldiers, criminals) and the passive adventurer (sedentary parasites who draw sustenance from the exploits of the former). Roaming from battlefields to pirate ships to port-town taverns, and offering advice on reading, traveling and eroticism, Mac Orlans Handbook is ultimately a how-to manual for the imagination, and a formulation of the stark choice all would-be adventurers must face: to live or write.Generally known as the author of Le Quai des brumes (the basis for Marcel Carnes film of the same name), Pierre Mac Orlan (18821970) was a prolific writer of absurdist tales, adventure novels, flagellation erotica and essays, as well as the composer of a trove of songs made famous by the likes of Juliette Greco. A member of both the Academie Goncourt and the College de Pataphysique, Mac Orlan was admired by everyone from Raymond Queneau and Boris Vian to Andre Malraux and Guy Debord.
