First edition of the author's first work published under the auspices of Albert Camus, one of 56 numbered copies on pur fil paper, the only deluxe copies. Handsome copy despite the spine being very lightly yellowed without significance. French writer born in Mostaganem and engaged in the Algerian independence struggle, Jean-Pierre Millecam was, due to threats to his security in Tlemcen, exfiltrated by the F.L.N. to Morocco in 1956.
