Première anthologie vivante de la poésie du passé

First edition on current paper.
Autograph dedication signed by Paul Eluard, on the first volume, to Charles Dobzynski: "... to the poet to the friend ..."
This friendship was fundamental for Dobzinski, since it is Eluard who discovers the young poet of 20 years and introduces him to the "Lettres Françaises" in 1949 where he meets Louis Aragon and Elsa Triolet who will preface several of his works.
Small tears without gravity in the foot of a back, a tiny marginal lack at the head of the first board of the second volume.
