Une correspondance privée, Lawrence Durrell Henry Miller

First edition, printed on ordinary paper, of the French translation.
Complete with its illustrated dust jacket which shows small tears and minor lacks.
Precious two-color autograph inscription signed by Lawrence Durrell to his friend Janine Brun: "Janine Brun / from Lawrence Durrell / with affection".
Among the olive trees and under the Mediterranean sun, Lawrence Durrell met in the mid-1960s the young and vivacious "Jany" (Janine Brun), a woman from Montpellier in her thirties with devastating beauty, who worked at the Department of Antiquities at the Sorbonne in Paris. She was nicknamed "Buttons" in memory of their first meeting, where the young woman wore a dress covered with buttons. Henry Miller also fell under the charm of "Buttons," praising her beauty and eternal youth in exceptional unpublished letters. The three companions spent memorable Parisian evenings of which we keep precious autograph traces through their epistolary exchanges. Recommended by Durrell, she made numerous trips, notably to England, from where she received extensive correspondence from the writer as well as original works of art signed with his artist pseudonym, Oscar Epfs.
