AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Virginia WOOLF

Flush

Biography translated from English by Charles Mauron.

Preface by Louis Gillet.

Paris, Librairie Stock, Delamain et Boutelleau, 1935. Collection « Le Cabinet cosmopolite ». Small 12mo, xiii, (3), 204 pages

Original French edition printed in 750 copies on alfa satin paper by Outhenin Chalandre (no. 141), single edition with 50 off-print copies on the same paper.

It was the human landscape that moved him. It seems that Beauty, to touch the senses of Flush, must be condensed first, then infused, green or violet powder, by a celestial syringe, into the velvety depths of his nostrils; and his ecstasy, then, did not express itself in words, but in silent adoration. Where Mrs. Browning saw, Flush smelled; he sniffed when she had written.
Virginia Woolf, Flush, a Biography, 1933.

Half-calf binding with raised cords, title and author pieces, boards preserved
