What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

La 4e de couv. indique : "Unique roman achevé de Benjamin Constant, Adolphe (1816) raconte l’inexorable décomposition d’une relation amoureuse. Vouloir ce qui échappe, échapper à ce qui se donne ; désirer la liaison, mais se rebeller contre le lien : telle est l’histoire d’Adolphe qui, sommé de quitter Ellénore au nom de la carrière à laquelle on le destine, ne parvient pas plus à rompre qu’à aimer. Les intermittences de ce cœur indécis qui oscille entre sincérité et mauvaise foi, aveuglement et lucidité, compassion et sadisme précipiteront la catastrophe finale. Mais, dans cette tragédie de l’impuissance, l’amante délaissée ne sera pas la seule victime. Car Adolphe est aussi le récit d’une impossible révolte : celle d’un homme broyé par la société. Chef-d’œuvre du roman d’analyse selon certains, témoignage sur le bouleversement des vies sous le Directoire et l’Empire pour d’autres, ce roman est d’abord, comme le suggère Constant, une fable poignante sur notre condition, une «histoire vraie de la misère du cœur humain."
