Explore this eclectic and charming collection of nine late-19th and very early 20th century antique books—a worldly assortment spanning literature, language, and cultural study from around the globe. Each volume brings its own story and character, making the set perfect for collectors of foreign literature, language lovers, or anyone drawn to old‑world books with personality and history.
Included in this set:
• Les Malheurs de Sophie by Mme. La Comtesse de Ségur, published in Paris by Librairie Hachette in 1890. A classic French children’s tale of mischievous Sophie, this copy shows wear consistent with its age but is complete and intact.
• Northern Europe from the Youth’s Companion Series, published in 1902 by Ginn & Co., Boston. A well‑preserved early 20th‑century look at European lands and cultures, often used in schools of the era.
• Nouvelle Grammaire Italienne by Charles Marquard Sauer, published in 1902 in Heidelberg by Jules Groos, a practical French‑language Italian grammar with dialogues and exercises for language learners. This fair‑to‑good condition educational volume reflects historic language study methods and prints from the turn of the century.
• La Akegria del Capitán Ribot by Armando Palacio Valdés, published in Boston by D.C. Heath & Co. in 1907, a Spanish narrative reflecting the popular literary style of early 20th‑century Spain, with “good” wear that suggests it was well read and appreciated.
• Un Bienfait N’est Jamais Perdu (likely an edition of a French classic historically attributed to 19th‑century moral literature), printed by Librairie de l’Œuvre Saint‑Charles de Grammont in Bruges (date approximate late 19th/early 20th century). A story of kindness and consequence, offered here in fair‑good condition. Historical traces suggest similar titles were circulating by 1899.
• Jeanne Jenny… by Adèle Fourminy, published circa 1914 (French edition). A narrative with roots in early 20th‑century French storytelling, full of period character and moral reflection.
*• Biblioteca Amena I — Obras Amenas del P. Victor Van Tricht La Ilusion from 1929. A Spanish language volume of engaging works by Victor Van Tricht from the “Mensajero del Corazón de Jesús” publisher, perfect for fans of early 20th‑century religious and moral literature.
*• Biblioteca Amena II — Obras Amenas del P. Victor Van Tricht El Deber from 1926. A companion in the same series, offering additional narrative exploration with thoughtful themes.
• Cuentos y Leyendas by M. Eduardo Laboulaye, published in 1913 (publisher catalog reflects editions of the period), a collection of stories and legends rich with Latin literature flavor.
The books in this set range in size and subject but unite with classic language, literature, and cultural perspective from French, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European contexts. Some volumes have personal touches and signs of use—like marginalia, wear on covers, and old inscriptions—adding to their character and authenticity.
