First edition, one of 700 numbered copies on vellum of the Marais, one of the few ours except trade justified by Charles Du Bos. Templar autograph dated and signed by Charles Du Bos Robert Garric: "... in memory of our first meeting ... Non nobis, dominates, sed nomini tuo da gloriam" Catholic reformist, he was the founder of "social Teams" in 1920, which aimed to establish a social elite and bring the good word about the brotherhood born of the trenches to the workers, in the tradition of patronage. Simone de Beauvoir, then student of Robert Garric in philosophy at Sainte-Marie Institute of Neuilly, remembers him in his "Memoirs of a Tidy Wench" "Garric appeared; I forgot everything else and myself; the authority of his voice subdued me. In twenty years we he explained, he had discovered in the trenches the joys of camaraderie that removed social barriers. [...] To deny all limits and all separations, get out of my class, out of my skin: this slogan electrified me. [...] Must serve my life! Must serve all my life! " Small marginal patches affecting some heads in sheets and walk the last guard, rare spots.
