Description:
Rare first edition of Théâtre III by Eugène Ionesco, published in Paris in 1963 by Gallimard.

This important volume brings together several of Ionesco’s major theatrical works, including the iconic play Rhinocéros, widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of the Theatre of the Absurd. Through surreal transformations and symbolic narrative, Rhinocéros explores themes of conformity, totalitarianism, and individual resistance.

The collection also includes Le Piéton de l’air, Délire à deux, Le Tableau, Scène à quatre, Les Salutations, and La Colère, offering a comprehensive insight into Ionesco’s innovative dramatic style and philosophical depth.

This particular copy is especially desirable as it is hand signed and personally inscribed by the author, significantly enhancing its collectible value.

The book remains in very good condition, retaining its original paper binding, with only light signs of age and handling.
