Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Very Good dj. 2nd printing. (price-clipped) DETAILS NEEDED. (B&W plates) A highly romanticized "biography" of Mrs. Napoleon -- even the publisher's jacket blurb admits "it may be more exact to call it imaginative fiction" (as opposed to the other kind of fiction?) -- for which "the author has in…vented conversations which are thoroughly in accord with probability [there's a great phrase], based as they are upon his knowledge of, and researches into, the characters." As the title implies, the emphasis here is very much on the lady's "urge to love"; the anonymous critic for the Los Angeles Times probably had it about right when he or she observed that it was "designed to please those who like to have that phase of life played up at the expense of all others." (The uncredited jacket art, appropriately, is a somewhat cartoonish depiction of the Empress.) This book, first published in Paris in 1928 (as "L'impà ratrice Josà phine") seems to have launched Monsieur Nezelof on a career as a sort of Gallic Kitty Kelley; he went on to write biographies of other figures from French history, notably Marie Antoinette ("The Merry Queen"), The Count of Mirabeau, and Napoleon pere et fils ("Napoleon and His Son").

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Very Good dj. 2nd printing. [nice tight clean book, minimal shelfwear, slight bumping to base of spine, vintage price sticker from The White House (San Francisco department store) on rear pastedown; jacket has a somewhat ragged (but inconspicuous) closed tear at bottom of front panel, some wear…along bottom edge (esp. on spine), and foxing/spotting to the rear panel]. Second printing (same month as the first) of the first American edition of this uncommon novel by the recently-rediscovered author who perished at Auschwitz in 1942, a tale about a Jewish businessman working in the casinos of Biarritz, "condemned to make money ceaselessly and in spite of himself by his family and by force of circumstances." The author was Russian by birth (1903), but her family left the country following the Revolution and soon settled in Paris, where she lived and wrote (in French) for the rest of her life. (She had been exposed to French as a child, through a governess, and also attended the Sorbonne.) She turned out fourteen published novels during her lifetime, but only two (this being the first) were published in the U.S.; her modern reputation was jump-started by the publication of a previously-unknown book, "Suite Francaise," the success of which has sparked the reprinting of some of her earlier works. NOISBN. Illustrated by (dj) Sugar (illustratore).

Aggiungi al carrelloFirst U.K. edition. 220 pages. The book is quite firmly bound in magenta coloured cloth, lettered and decorated in black. The extremities are slightly bumped and rubbed and the cloth is lightly marked. The text block is age browned, with minor marks, the front endpaper has been neatly removed. The dust jacket, designed by Donia…Nachshen (1903-1987), who became well-known due to being the artist behind several major WW2 poster campaigns, is the original and not price clipped, it is age browned, with quite significant areas of loss, also more minor chips, closed tears and splits, with some thin paper archival tape repairs to the reverse. Nemirovsky's powerful first novel, about a wealthy Jewish Russian émigré banker, and the complexities of his family life and business relationships. The British first edition is rare, particularly in the fragile dust jacket, with striking Nachshen artwork, which shows an interesting remote creative collaboration between two Ukrainian born Jewish women, presumably initiated by the publisher as there is no obvious record of a connection between the pair.
