Plain wrappers with printed labels exist, that are more often to be found. Very rare work, especially with the printed wrappers bound in and much valued. » (Carteret, I, 390).« The action takes place in an imaginary kingdom of Island, in the XVIIth century. A sanguinary bandit, Han d?Islande, terrorizes the population. His life is surrounded with dark legends [.] We watch Han?s dark tragedy, bestial being, who lives alone with a bear and only drinks human blood [.] This novel already shows hugo?s style : his violent contrasts where one can discern the never-ending battle between good and evil. han?s character achieves an unbelievable lyric power and makes this book one of the most significant documents of early romanticism ». (Dictionnaire des ?uvres, III, 347). Precious copy finely bound by mercier with the rare light grey printed wrappers bound in.Provenance : P. Villeboeuf with ex libris.
