About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Company, 1950. First American Edition. Cloth. Good/good. 8vo, pp. [6], vii-xx, [2], 3-220. Black cloth-covered boards with gilt accents.

From the dust jacket: "In 1911 a mysterious volume without author's or publisher's name and bearing the title C.R.D.N., appeared in France. The book was the first part of Andre Gide's now famous dialogues on sexual differentiation. After many editions in France and other European countries, 'Corydon' has at last been translated and appears for the first time in the United States."
