Daphnis Daphnis & Chloe Ultra Unlined Softcover Flexi Journal Elastic Band Closure

<P>Inside the original 1910 version of this sumptuous binding laid one of the oldest and most effortlessly romantic stories ever written. The gilt and crushed blue levant morocco binding by Émile-Philippe Mercier contained Jacques Amyot’s French translation of the tale Daphnis and Chloe. The original story was composed by the second-century Greek author Longus, a little-known writer assumed to have been a freedman of a Roman family. Daphnis and Chloe were the fictional lovers against whom all others can be measured. Their story was the inspiration for one of contemporary cinema’s most beloved films, The Princess Bride. Daphnis and Chloe were naïve lovers separated by pirate abductions and battles aplenty. But love prevails and in the end they are restored to pastoral, wedded bliss.</P><ul><li><B>Format:</B> Ultra</li><li><B>Size:</B> Width: 175mm (6¾") x Height: 225mm (8¾") x Depth: 12mm (½")</li><li><B>Interior:</B> Unlined</li><li><B>Page Count:</B> 176Pages</li><li><B>Closure:</B> Elastic Band</li><li><B>Colour:</B> Green</li><li><B>GSM (paper weight):</B> 100</li><li><B>Binding Type:</B> Smyth Sewn</li><li><B>Cover:</B> Softcover</li><li><B>Edge Printin</B> No</li><li><B>Pouch Type:</B> Back Cover Pouch</li><li><B>Interior Paper:</B> Smooth</li><li><B>Ribbon Markers:</B> 1</li><li>Decorative printed cover paper</li><li>FSC-certified text paper</li><li>Threaded stitching and glue, as needed</li><li>Cloth headbands</li><li>Acid-free sustainable forest paper</li><li>Flexible cover and spine</li></ul>
