Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Julius, and Other Tales from the German
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Rodolphe Töpffer
Edit Profilecaricaturist cartoonist painter teacher author
Education
Rodolphe was educated in Paris from 1819 to 1820, then returned to Geneva and became a school teacher.
Career
After passing some time in a private school in Geneva (1822 - 1824), he founded (1824) one of his own, after his marriage. It was in 1823 that he made his first foot journey in the Alps with his pupils, though this became his regular practice only from 1832 onwards. These Voyages en zigzag were described annually (1832 - 1843) in a series of lithographed volumes, with sketches by the author-the first printed edition appeared at Paris in 1844, and a second series (Nouveaux voyages en zigzag) also at Paris in 1854. Both series have since passed through many editions. In 1832 he was named professor of belles-lettres at the university of Geneva, and held that chair till his death, on the 8th of June 1846. As early as 1834 he published an article in the Bibliotheque universelle of Geneva. It was followed by a number of tales, commencing with the Bibliotheque de mon oncle (1832), many of which were later collected (1841) into the weil- known volume which bears the title of Nouvelles genevoises. He took some part (on the Conservative side) in local politics, and was editor of the Courrier de Geneve. Among his other works are an edition of Demosthenes (1824), and a volume of artistic studies, the Reflexions et menus propos d'un peintre genevois (1848). Lives by A. Blondel and the abbe Relave (both published at Paris, 1886), and shorter notices in E. Rambert's Ecrivains nationaux (Geneva, 1874); and E. Javelle's Souvenirs d'un alpiniste (Lausanne, 1886; Eng. trans. , 1899, under the title of Alpine Memories), and several chapters in Ste Beuve's Causeries du lundi, Verniers portraits litteraires and Portraits contemporains.
