In the Clouds

Autor Sarah Bernhardt Ilustrat de Georges Clairin Traducere de John Joline Ross
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 noi 2021
In 1878 Gustave Flaubert looked on in horror as his publisher picked up a manuscript from the mysterious stage actress Sarah Bernhardt and published it in place of a new edition of his latest work, and watched it go on to become an instant bestseller, achieving international fame. Narrated by a chair in a hot-air balloon, In the Clouds is a light-hearted, humorous tale that follows a character reminiscent of Bernhardt through the skies above Paris. Sadly the story sunk into obscurity, lying out of print in the English language for much of the twentieth century. Featuring the original illustrations by Georges Clairin, and in a fresh edit of the first English translation, this edition seeks to bring the tale to a new generation of readers. 'Apart from its highly original premise... its jaunty style proved her to be a lively, amusing writer.' -Robert Gottlieb
