Les haillons de la gloire

First edition, a review copy.

Wrappers printed on both covers.

Sewing a little weak, wrappers slightly soiled, spine creased, wrappers and leaves browned.

Autograph inscription signed by the author to Paul Feuga (1863-1939), mayor of Toulouse and senator for Haute-Garonne, in the Occitan dialect.

The subject of this novel, which follows the career of a French soldier from Toulouse to Casablanca, is clearly inspired by the life of its author, himself a soldier and colonial writer. As the inscription indicates, at the time of publication Jean Renaud was editor of the Casablanca daily La Presse marocaine .
