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.

En débarquant à Constantinople le 13 mai 1506, Michel-Ange sait qu'il brave la colère de Jules II, pape guerrier et mauvais payeur : il a en effet laissé en chantier l'édification de son tombeau, à Rome. Mais comment ne pas répondre à l'invitation du sultan Bajazet qui lui propose - après avoir refusé les plans de Léonard de Vinci - de concevoir un pont sur la Corne d'Or ? Troublant comme la rencontre de l'homme de la Renaissance avec les beautés du monde ottoman, précis et ouvragé comme une pièce d'orfèvrerie, ce portrait de l'artiste au travail est aussi une fascinante réflexion sur l'acte de créer et sur le symbole d'un geste inachevé vers l'autre rive de la civilisation. Car à travers la chronique de ces quelques semaines oubliées de l'Histoire, Mathias Enard esquisse une géographie politique dont les hésitations sont toujours aussi sensibles cinq siècles plus tard.
