Hardback. Zustand: Good. A glittering historical romance in the tradition of Corelli's Mandolin, in which a young French physician braves the wilds of Abyssinia to cure its king, then returns to France on an equally perilous mission to the court at Versailles. The beginning of this story is a curious fact: In the year 1699, Louis XIV of France sent an embassy to the most mysterious and fabled of oriental sovereigns, the Negus of Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia). Louis's hope was to lure that country, Christian for centuries, into the political and religious orbit of France. Jean-Baptiste Poncet, gifted apothecary/physician to the pashas of Cairo, is the hero of this baroque and poetic epic that leads through the deserts of Egypt and Sinai and the mountains of Abyssinia to the court of the Negus, thence to Versailles and back again. Along the way he falls madly in love with the French consul's daughter and deals with the intrigues of his fanatical Jesuit traveling companions. Friendship, humor, love, and discovery are the elements of this gorgeous adventure, but there is a more serious theme as well. Poncet discovers the splendors of a great empire and civilization, and, thanks to him, Ethiopia will escape foreign conquest and preserve its fierce pride and mystery into our own times. The Abyssinian has been translated into a dozen languages.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Karl Lagerfeld's quick wit and silver tongue are as notorious as Chanel's quilted handbag. This book is a cornucopia of his Karlisms: cultivated, unpredictable, provocative, sometimes shocking, but always impossible to ignore. Karl Lagerfeld is a modern master of couture. While simultaneously running Chanel, Fendi, and his own eponymous fashion house, he has consistently re-invented trends on the catwalk and in the street for half a century. His wise, surprising statements pop up like offbeat news flashes and are regularly seized upon by fashionistas, acolytes, and sages the world over. Here, in his own deadpan words, are his exacting opinions on everything-from fashion, style, women, and Chanel to fame, life, and books. This is the ultimate repertoire of wit and wisdom from fashion's sharpest pin. I only know how to play one role: me. Think pink. But don't wear it. I like everything to be washable, myself included. Change is the healthiest way to survive. I don't recommend myself as a guest. There is one thing I love on earth: to learn. Ameline, Charles (illustrator).…
