Prosper MERIMEE Lettres à une inconnue

Prosper MERIMEE

Lettres à une inconnue

Michel Lévy frères, Paris 1874, In-8 (14,5x21,8cm), 364pp. et 373pp., relié.


first edition. The first edition was so quickly sold out that a new one had to be made a few months later.
Vintage half shagreen red binding. Back with nerves decorated with 3 finials and cold fillets, title and golden number. Some traces of friction. Beautiful copy, almost free from foxing, with very fresh paper.
These famous letters were addressed to Jenny (Jeanne Françoise) Dacquin from 1841 to 1870, the last of which was written two hours before the author's death. The preface by Hippolyte Taine constitutes one of the first and best testimonies on the writer.
