Description:
Paris, "La Connaissance", 1934. Avant-propos de Charles Du Bos. Première édition courante, quelques mois après l'édition originale tirée à seulement 164 exemplaires. Exemplaire numéroté No.690. In-12 broché de 105 pp.Une jeune femme qui se bat contre la maladie de retour au sanatorium dont elle ne reviendra peut-être pas ouvre une lettre que vient de lui remettre son amant. Lettre de rupture ou plutôt de congé. A quoi elle répond ici au nom de cette Vie qu'elle risque de n'avoir plus longtemps à vivre mais qu'elle persiste à vouloir exempte de toute tiédeur de tout compromis. Un cri pur sur le mode intraitable et la revendication blessée mais sûre de... soi d'un amour de haute exigence qui revendique à la fois le partage total et la lucidité. Le livre de Marcelle Sauvageot (1900-1934) publié peu de mois avant sa mort (d'abord sous le titre de Commentaire) longtemps introuvable malgré quelques brèves reprises en librairie fut salué en son temps par les plus grands.

Description:
This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, edges, and spine of the cover boards. There is some bumping and fraying on the cover boards. The previous owner has affixed a name label to the inside of the front cover board. The pages are yellowing and tanning, but the pages are clear of any markings."'Do you hear voices?' he asked. 'You think I am deaf?' 'Of course,' she said. 'I hear yours.' It was hard to keep on being civil. She was tired and he had been asking questions such a long time, days and days of incredibly naive questions. Now he was explaining that she misunderstood; he did not mean real voices. Fantastic. He was speaking, he said, of voices that were not real and yet they were voices he expected her to hear. He was something of a pest, this man, but she could think of no decent way to get rid of him. You could tell he meant well and so you tried to play the game with him, as if with a fanciful child...." - Chapter One from The Snake Pit

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
