Couverture souple. Zustand: Très bon. Edition originale. rare les 4 tomes des oeuvres de GESSNER (couverture d'attente d'origine) taches de rousseurs éparses nombreuses gravures signées GIRARDET LE MIRE ect. C'est l'édition compléte parue en 1799 chez RENOUARD. Salomon Gessner (1730-1788) est un poète suisse. Considéré au XVIIIe siècle comme le nouveau Théocrite, rénovateur d'un genre idyllique usé par les fades galanteries d'un Fontenelle, son œuvre paraît à un moment opportun. En effet, la critique commence à se lasser de ces idylles emphatiques et si peu passionnées. L'œuvre de Gessner doit être replacée dans l'environnement culturel de Zurich. Cette ville d'esprit plutôt libéral abrite notamment le jeune peintre Füssli ou le cercle littéraire de Bodmer, chantre d'un nouveau sentimentalisme. C'est à leur contact que Salomon Gessner, modeste libraire, s'essaie à la poésie. En 1754 paraît sa première œuvre, Daphnis, suivent de près La Mort d'Abel et bien sûr les Idylles. Les traductions de celles-ci ont un succès considérable dans toute l'Europe, et, encore une fois, particulièrement en France.…
