Albert CAMUS

La chute

Gallimard, Paris 1956, 12x19cm, broché.

Original, one of 10 scholars on alfa and reserved for the author Edition, drawing the smallest on large paper. Sending the author to his friend Jean Texcier, painter, socialist, resistant to the first hour and founder of the resistance movement "Liberation-Nord". Our copy is enriched with an autograph letter signed by Albert Camus on a page the same in which he thanked him for his kind criticism, probably in the newspaper "North Morning" with regard to "The Rebel "just published, envelope sent from Algiers attached. Back and slightly flat and marginally passed without gravity, a tiny hitch without missing on the first dish, pages 8 and 9 partially shaded. Unique and exciting set marking the meeting of two great publicists of the French Resistance. Albert Camus was much affected by the very critical reception of his essay "The Rebel", who was accused by his former friends to be "deliberately static" and praised by the conservative press. After a long period of literary drought, The Fall, a novel of disillusionment, is marked by bitterness Camus face misunderstanding and rejection of his close friends and comrades (Sartre, Beauvoir, Breton ... ). The "benevolent" Critique Texcier was one of the few manifestations of a real understanding of the test Camus. The dedication of Camus on one of the very few copies of author demonstrates its recognition of this valuable intellectual support (see correspondence preserved in the University Office of Research Socialist) during this long period marked by loneliness and misunderstanding admirably prose in The Fall.
