{"product_id":"9781108009300","title":"Glances Back through Seventy Years : Autobiographical and Other Reminiscences (Cambridge Library Collection - History of Printing, Publishing and Libraries)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis autobiography recalls the eventful career of the nineteenth-century publisher and journalist, Henry Vizetelly (1820–1894). Born in London, Vizetelly was apprenticed to a wood engraver as a young child. He entered the printing business and helped found two successful but short-lived newspapers, the Pictorial Times and the Illustrated Times. From 1865 Vizetelly worked in Paris and Berlin as a foreign correspondent for the Illustrated London News, and also wrote and published several books. He later became a publisher of foreign novels and gained notoriety for his translations of Emile Zola which challenged strict Victorian laws on obscenity and led to his prosecution and imprisonment. His book is a fascinating blend of public and personal history, providing an insight into the turbulent literary world of nineteenth-century Europe. Volume 2 begins in 1858 with the marriage of Princess Vicky and concludes with Vizetelly's return to England in 1878.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49718829056248,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":117.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781108009300-1.jpg?v=1783642206","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781108009300","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
