Description:
Paris: Bernard Grasset, 1933. First Edition. Unopened; faint hint of toning toward edges; fine in original glassine. 8vo, 276pp; priginal printed wrappers. One of 300 roman-numeraled "exemplaires de press" out of 1400 printed on Alfa Navarre. There were another 72 copies divided among smaller limitations on different fine papers. This copy bears an undated signed inscription on the half-title: "A Monsieur Gabriel Marcel en bien sincère hommage, Irène Nemirovsky." Born in Ukraine into a Jewish family, the author fled at age fifteen with her parents during the Russian Revolution of 1917, eventually settling in Paris. She enjoyed modest success as a French writer, especially with her first novel David Golder (1929), but along with her family she was denied French citizenship. Because of her Jewish heritage -- and despite her conversion to Catholicism -- she fell into disfavor under the Vichy regime. She was deported, ultimately arriving in Auschwitz, where she died in 1942. Although she fell into…

Description:
[Paris: L'usage de la Parole, 1940. First Edition. Spine split; corners bumped; some general soil, one very small tear at the top, but otherwise without significant wear.. 4to, 6 unpag. leaves loosely inserted in stiff wrappers. Thomson first set Hugnet's poems to music in 1927. They were his first French songs. Here the songs are printed, for the first time, in lithographic facsimile of Thomson's handwriting on S.A.V. Vélin, scored for voice and piano. The lithographic front wrapper is by Pablo Picasso. As near as we can ascertain, a small number of copies were produced to send as gifts to friends and to subscribers to Hugnet's short-lived periodical, L'usage de la parole. It seems likely that the songs were intended to be included in a fourth number of the magazine (number 3 in April 1940 announced Thomson as a contributor to the next number) but the magazine ceased publication before a fourth number could be completed, when German armed forces marched into France in May. It is unclear how many…
