First edition for which it was not drawn from great papers, one of the review copies service. Yellowed paper as usually, a small tear in the foot of the back. Rare copy of the first novel by Roger Nimier in which insolence, tenderness, political provocation will tip the main character of the Resistance to the Militia. Beautiful autograph signed by Roger Nimier to Charles Orengo, journalist and creator of Editions du Rocher in 1943: "For Mr. Charles Orengo - now that Laudenbach shows him my letters, I dare to send him this novel. It starts badly, but rest assured: it ends well. Roger Nimier with the appearance of his respect for his new publisher. "
