first edition on current paper, false mention of third edition. Paper yellowed as usual, a little missing at the bottom of the back. Handwritten signature of Paul Eluard, on the first guard. Provenance: from the poet Charles Dobzynski's library. This friendship was fundamental for Dobzinski, since it was Paul Eluard who discovered the 20-year-old young poet and introduced him to "Lettres Françaises" in 1949 where he met Louis Aragon and Elsa Triolet in particular, who would preface several of his works.
