Encuadernación: Rústica Colección: Avinents,7 Dins l'ambient dels salons del segle xvii francès, uns gèneres com les màximes, els proverbis, els retrats, en tot cas les formes breus, hi esqueien particularment. Les Màximes de La Rochefoucauld començaren essent un joc, però, l'any 1659, ja concep una obra acabada que va més enllà d'una diversió de salon, a la qual dóna unitat una visió general de l'home. El contingut de les Màximes se pot resumir en unes poques idees: Darrere cada virtut aparent, hi ha oculta una forma d'egoisme. L'home desconeix les seves pròpies intencions i té una habilitat singular per a enganyar-se a si mateix: la raó, més que dirigir els nostres actes, és un instrument per a justificar-los. Els dirigeixen l'amor propi, la hipocresia i la vanitat, sense la qual la virtut no arribaria gaire enfora. La societat valora més les aparences que la veritat, i les bones qualitats ens atreuen més odi que el mal que feim. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2014). 2014 1st English translation. 8vo paperback (159 x 235mm). Ppxviii,152. Colour illustrations. Some shelf wear, cover rather bumped, but a new, unread copy. Signed (in Urdu) by the translator. The poet-solider Khushal Khan Khattak was chief of the Khattaks, a Pashtun tribe of Afghanistan and what is now Pakistan. Khushal Khan Khattak wrote this book in Pashto, the main language of Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, and is one of the greats of Pashto literature. The Book of Falconry is a manual of falconry written in verse, and is here translated into English by Sami ur Rahman. It "is a rare work in verse, surviving from the classical Mughal era. It covers the whole gamut of the field, including trapping, training, manning, colours, types, furniture, hatching, diseases, and medicine. The dark-eyed, known as the long-winged in the West, make for a large part of the text and the species discussed are the saker, the Altai falcon, gyrfalcon, shaheen, peregrine, laggar, and red-headed merlin. Among the yellow-eyed, or the short-winged, it is the goshawk, sparrowhawk, shikra, and besra, etc. Dealing with the subject matter in a concise, compact, and cogent manner, the poet gives the kingly sport an aesthetic and philosophical touch. The style and diction is down-to-earth and easy to follow. Apart from its historical and literary importance, this manual enjoys a great practical value, as some of the basic principles mentioned are as relevant today as they were three and a half centuries ago." Only 500 copies were printed, 450 of which were sold immediately at the book's launch at the Abu Dhabi Falconry Festival. INCORRECT - Sami says 1000 printed. .…
