Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

    Les chiens de paille

    Gallimard|Paris 1944|13.50 x 20 cm|broché
    Extremely rare never-published and true first edition, which remained as a proof copy under a blank cover printed for Gallimard proofreaders; the deluxe paper copies announced (13 pur fil and 1,050 Bonet hardback publisher's bindings printed on esparto paper) were never printed.
    Printer's imprint dated July 31, 1944, the entire print run of this edition has been destroyed.
    Small tears to corners and lacks of paper to margins of the boards, three light spots on the second board; traces of discoloration due to glue on the bare spine, intended to welcome a softcover that, to our knowledge, has never been produced.
    An extremely rare work, one of probably only a few dozen copies...
