AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and sought-after first edition of Léon Bloy's celebrated novel, regarded as one of the monuments of Catholic, visionary, and mystical literature of the late 19th century. The work combines a sharp and ruthless social critique of the materialism of the Parisian bourgeoisie with a deep, painful, and redemptive conception of poverty. A fundamental work of French decadence and literary mysticism.
--------------------------------------
Exemplar in first edition (Paris, 1897) kept in a fine cloth binding with corners, enriched by a smooth spine with a label, gilded titles and ornament, and refined boards in multicolored marbled paper. The volume is presented in excellent condition, with coordinated endpapers and excellent structural and aesthetic integrity
