About This Item
Paris: Editions Buchet/Chastel-Corrêa, 1958. First Edition. Trade paperback. Fine. A travelog and critique of Franco's Spain by the author of Native Son. Translated into French by R. Giroux.
Wright (1902-1960), one of the most important writers of the 20th century, chronicled African American life in novels and essays, but grew disillusioned with racism in the United States and moved to France in 1946. First French edition. A lovely copy in the original wrappers (paperback covers) and the publisher's glassine. Pages tanned, as usual. This copy is inscribed by Wright, "A M. Fernand Fahre, Hommage de l'auteur Richard Wright." Books signed by Wright are not common.
