Description from the seller
Joseph Kessel
Makhno et sa juive
Illustrated work with a frontispiece drawn and wood-engraved by Vassily Photiades.
Paris. Eos, 1926, small-format 8vo (20 x 14 cm) of 164 pp.
FIRST EDITION. One of 750 copies numbered on Arches mould-made paper.
In a Paris café, a Russian refugee recounts a strange story: that of the bandit Makhno, famous for his cruelty and thirst for blood, who was one day entranced by the purity of a young Jewish girl and the proud resistance she opposed to him. Attracted by her past, so close to his own, and moved by her innocence, the cruel Makhno gave himself to love… In the violent and tragic world of Bolshevik Russia, Kessel’s nervous, incisive pen revives a love as improbable as it is wonderful.
Green half-morocco binding, smooth spine adorned with a series of six mosaic circles, four red and two brown, gold square at the center of the circles, gold fillets evoking a skyscraper, author and title in gold, boards of green marbled paper, gilt top, covers and spine preserved.
A perfect copy in a lovely Art Deco binding executed by Antoine LAUCOURNET, famed binder of Limoges.
