First edition, one of 30 numbered copies on alfa mousse paper, the only deluxe copies.
Spine and covers slightly and marginally discolored and foxed, handsome interior condition.

The true first edition, hors commerce, of the complete version of 138-[6] pages, which preceded the 1954 edition by Editions de Minuit.
Previously, only parts had been published (between 1949 and 1951), and only in a few copies.
Additionally, a new “Belgian” edition, similar to this first edition, came out in 1958 comprising no more than 80 pages and dated “de 1958” on the cover.
The author had André Gide's (the dedicatee of the first part of the work in 1949) review especially printed: "L'intense et bizarre joie que j'éprouve à la lecture (et relecture) de ces pages remarquables entre toutes. André Gide [There is an intense and bizarre joy I experience when reading (and re-reading) these remarkable pages among all others. André Gide]."
