  88. Dieu est-il français ?Dieu est-il français ?
    Yves BONNEFOY

    Dieu est-il français ?

    S. n. • [ La Révolution La Nuit]|s. l. • (Paris) 1946|11 x 14 cm|une feuille rempliée
    Very rare first edition of this Surrealist tract, published simultaneously with "Traité du pianiste," Yves Bonnefoy's first book.
    This fierce text also reproduces a quotation from the Marquis de Sade: "Oui, citoyens, la religion est incompatible avec l'idée de liberté ; vous avez compris cela : Jamais l'homme libre ne s'abaissera devant les dieux du christianisme."
    Two inevitable small corner losses, given the extreme fragility of this publication issued by the micro-group "La révolution La nuit" founded by the author.

    €400
