AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original edition of Valéry's text 'The Philosopher and the Young Parque (as a Prologue)' and Alain's commentaries.

One of the 1010 copies on white Arches laid paper, this one no. 128.

A poem of 512 lines to which he dedicated about four years. Initially, he was supposed to write — at the request of his publisher Gallimard and his friend André Gide — a poetic preface of about thirty lines to accompany a reissue of his early poems. But he was overwhelmed by the initial project and then wrote what some consider his masterpiece: the inner monologue of a young woman caught in a struggle between body and mind, written in a formal style worthy of his master Mallarmé.

Paperback, flap cover. With slipcase.
Condition: volume in perfect state, solid case, slight scuffs on the corners.
