Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

R875 Discovery Miles 8 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ce roman pour enfants, nous transporte au dix-neuvieme siecle, au sein d'une bourgeoisie aisee, dans un monde essentiellement feminin, ou les hommes ne sont que de pales figures secondaires. Un roman cruel et realiste, ou l'on fouette les petites filles qui ont fait des betises, ou l'on tue les mamans herissons a coups de fusil, mais encore, ou l'on apprend a pardonner, a controler son esprit et ses emotions, a respecter l'autre et a se donner des signes d'amour et de tendresse, en se serrant dans les bras, en s'embrassant, souvent, tres souvent. Les petites filles modeles, de la Comtesse de Segur, apparaissent donc aujourd'hui comme une histoire etrange, presque fabuleuse, alors que l'auteur nous assure, dans sa preface, que ses personnages d'enfants sont bien reels. Les enfants parlent comme des adultes sortant de l'Academie, c'est parfois kitch, parfois cucul, mais cela se laisse lire avec plaisir et ravira, on peut en etre certain, tous les enfants d'aujourd'hui et de demain.

R408 Discovery Miles 4 080 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This first volume of the "Old French Fairy Tales" by Sophie Rostopchine, Comtesse de Segur (1799-1874) gathers together three stories from a marvelous age when fairies and genii were still thriving in our world and our imagination. Exquisitely illustrated by Virginia Frances Sterrett (1900-1931), "The story of Blondine, Bonne-biche, and Beau-Minon," "Good Little Henry" and "History of Princess Rosette" are bringing back from a distant past some good old moral values and a reassuring creed that honesty, true friendship and love will ultimately prevail. Despite all evil plots meant to lure and to perish her, Blondine learns that obedience, good nurture and, most of all, patience will always be rewarded. Henry discovers that his filial love and diligence can overcome the most impressive obstacles, while Princess Rosetta wins our hearts and that of Prince Charmant solely by her kindness, decency and generosity. Not from this world? Not in these times? Maybe. But then again, why not? Along with the second volume of the "Old French Fairy Tales," the book is part of the "Vintage books - restored" collection.

Sophie Rostopchina, the Comtesse de Segur, was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1799. She wrote her first novel at the age of 58, and continued to write novels and stories for children and young people. Her most well-known novel, "Les Malheurs de Sophie" ("Sophie's Misfortunes") is about a young French girl who lives with her parents in a castle in the French countryside. The Comtesse died on February 9, 1874 in Paris.
This illustrated collection includes the short stories "Histoire de Blondine, de Bonne-Biche et de Beau-Minon" ("The Story of Blondine, Bonne-Biche, and Beau-Minon"), "Le Bon Petit Henri" ("Good Little Henry"), "Histoire de la Princesse Rosette" ("The Princess Rosette"), "La Petite Souris Grise" ("The Little Grey Mouse"), and "Ourson." The illustrations were done by Virginia Frances Sterrett for a 1920 American edition.
