Book Description

Authorized Images Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards: La Fontaine, Balzac, and Baudelaire The many fables of La Fontain, written in French so refined many in that nation consider his writing the quintessence of their language. Balzac, famous for how much coffee he drank (50 or more cups per day) as much for his novels—and for constantly being in debt—was the author of dozens of bestsellers. In contrast, Baudelaire, a poet, was no bestseller but he was extremely well regarded by the Bohemian world and his reputation has continued to rise to ever more heights since his death. This book discusses the wide range of postcards issued at the turn of the century in celebration of this trio's awesome literary talent.

Book Description

Authorized Images Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards: Leo Tolstoy and Mikhail Lermontov Tolstoy, the most acclaimed of Russian authors, was so famous internationally that it is difficult to recall that other Russian fiction writers were as—or even more–popular with readers in Russia. Lermontov is one of those rivals, though it is Tolstoy who garnered the highest number of postcards in the early years of the medium. This book highlights the majestic range of cards printed to honour Tolstoy while alerting today's reader to the large number of cards in praise of Lermontov. With extensive explanatory text and captions.

Book Description

Authorized Images Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards: Byron, Shelley, Keats The three most famous Romantic poets in English were notorious in their day and have remained so more than two centuries later. As soon as picture postcards became commonly available in the 1890s, these three writers were frequent subjects, two of them famous for the poetry but even more so for their disreputable private lives, spiced with escapades that shock us even today for their audacity. The text addresses the scandal and the literary work, employing full captions to help explain the ongoing popularity of these young giants.
