AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

4 volumes, octavo, half brown morocco, smooth titled spines, corners reinforced with vellum. Initials “G. H” at the foot of the spines.

Original edition of this novel with a family feud flavor, composed at the heart of the conflict between George Sand and her daughter Solange: she inspires the unlikable character Nathalie Dutertre.
Mont-Revêche had first appeared in Le Pays and had a standalone issue at the beginning of 1953. This is the first trade edition. A few copies exist in Holland.
Vicaire VII, 247.
Stamp “Cabinet de lecture de Mme Thomas Appert / A Epernay” on the first leaf of the text in each volume.

MISSING PAGES 343-346 IN THE LAST VOLUME.
Moisture stains, some marginal tears, a white flyleaf torn away at the end of the first volume. A loose gathering (no. 5) in the first volume. Worn and rubbed bindings, gilt faded, holes at the back. Misnumbered volume on the back of volume 3 (marked vol. 5).

Collation: [2] ff., 315 pp. + [2] ff., 307 pp. + [2] ff., 308 pp. + 347 pp. (pp. 343-346 missing), [2] ff.
