AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
New edition (mention of the fifth edition) whose original appeared in 1910.
The work did not find its audience right away.
First stage adaptation created in 1911.
Then, in spring 1912, it was presented in three evenings, at the Théâtre Antoine, the adaptation by Roussel himself of his book, which would be attended by Guillaume Apollinaire, Francis Picabia, Gabrielle Buffet and Marcel Duchamp.
Marcel Duchamp would acknowledge the important influence of this theatrical adaptation in the composition of his 'Grand Verre'.
Its impact was recognized by the surrealists.
With immense fortune, Raymond Roussel published unusual novels and staged unplayable plays that thrilled the surrealists because of their strangeness.
He declined the invitation to join them.
Creases and cuts on the back yellowed.
Small losses and trace of an old label.
Slight trace of corner crease on the cover.
Sunburn on the edge.
No shipment to the United States following the new legislation.
