La Postérité du soleil
First edition, one of the 123 numbered copies on Rives signed by René Char and Henriette Grindat.
Illustrated with thirty photographs by Henriette Grindat, laminated silver print.
This sumptuous book illustrated with photos is presented in leaves in the publisher's green book box, each of the 30 photographic plates is commented on by Albert Camus, introductory and final explanatory poem by René Char.
The result of the patient friendship between René Char and Albert Camus, the latter's repeated stays in a house in the Isle-sur-Sorgue region and the sensitivity of the two writers to the Swiss photographer Henriette Grindat's poetic images.
A very beautiful copy.
