Product Description
During World War II when France was occupied by Germany, many French authors were persecuted and exiled by the Vichy regime. It was during this period that the Librairie de France, the renowned Rockefeller Center French book store, decided to offer artistic refuge to those writers that came to the United States in search of freedom of expression.
Thus was born Editions de la Maison Francaise (the name of the building in Rockefeller Center where the bookstore had been from 1935-2009).
Each of these works is printed on special highest quality vellum (parchment) paper that has not yellowed with age. Many of them are limited-edition numbered copies. The paper is in the uncut format so typical of French publishing until the post-war years. All are completely out of print, in new condition, and most are unavailable anywhere in the world except at the Librairie de France.
Prices $50.00 to $250.00 each.

Verdi v. Wagner in Venice � Melodic Power v. Heroic Drama
The book starts with the arrival of Verdi in Venice in 1882. The Maestrosuffers from a creative paralysis, AIDA seemed to mark the end of his eraand his career as opera composer. In town he is confronted with the successof his antidote, Richard Wagner, who is in town and who's melodramas aregiven at La Fenice. No other writer than Werfel, a master of German proseand gifted with a breathtaking imagination, is more qualified to give us aprofound glimpse into Verdi's psyche and the causes for his re-emergencefrom despair with OTELLO. Werfel who translated many of Verdi's operas intoGerman, edited a collection of letters of the composer and used to surprisehis friends with perfectly sung Tenor arias from DON CARLOS, RIGOLETTO orTRAVIATA, paints a lucid picture of Venice and its society in the 1880tiesinterwoven with 240 years of opera history. Highly recommended for allopera lovers (even or especially for Wagnerians).
