About This Item

Paris: Gallimard, 1980. Fine. Gallimard, Paris 1980, 14,5x22cm, broché. - Edition originale, un des 450 exemplaires numérotés sur vergé Ivoire réservés aux Compagnons de la Libération. Bel exemplaire, en dépit du dos légèrement éclairci et de restaurations en marge des plats. Envoi autographe signé de Romain Gary à Guy Le Coniac de la Longrays en dessous de la justification du tirage. Bel envoi du Compagnon-auteur Gary à un illustre frère d'armes. Le Coniac de la Longrays est fait prisonnier le 19 juin 1940 et parvient à s'évader du camp de Rambervillers dans les Vosges. Il participe à toutes les campagnes de la 1ère Division Française Libre et combat en Libye, en Egypte, en Tripolitaine et en Tunisie. Promu lieutenant en mars 1943, il prend part l'année suivante à la campagne d'Italie et se distingue notamment à l'attaque de Chiaia menant une contre-attaque pour dégager des tirailleurs bloqués par le feu de l'ennemi. Débarqué en Provence en août 1944, il participe aux combats de libération du territoire, à Toulon puis à Belfort et en Alsace où, au début du mois de janvier 1945, il se distingue à nouveau et essuie un éclat d'obus à la jambe. Il termine la guerre en mai 1945 dans les Alpes, au massif de l'Authion. [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND]
