Description from the seller
First edition. This is the ordinary edition, published alongside ten on papier Hollande.
This is in a beautiful Jadis binding and matching slipcase (signed to the base of the slipcase). Full bottle-green morocco with foliage decoration, ribbed spine, gilt head, covers and spine preserved, untrimmed, a little light foxing only, with slight darkening to the pages. Slipcase is lined with fabric.
This is not a mosaic binding, but a decorated binding. The motifs are painted, as if lacquered, with embossed lines to delimit each part.
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a 19th century French novelist and short story writer, hailed as a master of literary realism and naturalism. A protégé of Gustave Flaubert, he produced over 300 stories, six novels, and travel books, noted for brevity, irony, and psychological insight.
This is considered Maupassant's first ''real'' book. It is dedicated "to Gustave Flaubert, to the illustrious and paternal friend whom I love with all my tenderness, to the irreproachable master whom I admire above all others". It brings together some twenty poems, some of which had previously appeared in magazines.
Original yellow covers are preserved inside binding. Publisher's advertisements on back covers of original.
[8], 210, [4]. pp. 18.5 x 12 cm
