Pastiches et mélanges
Book Description
First edition on standard paper, despite a false statement of third edition. Signed by Proust to a blank preliminary page and dedicated to the novelist Lucien Descaves, who was a member of the Prix Goncourt and who actually voted against Proust in 1919, the year he was awarded the prize for, 'À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs'. There is no evidence that the two novelists ever met but Proust did send Descaves signed copies of all of his books, from, 'Du côté de chez Swann', onwards.
This copy has been beautifully rebound in three quarter calf over marbled boards with gilt top edge by Goy & Vilaine, with the original covers bound in and with matching slip-case. A stunning copy of Proust's playful accounts of the Lemoine case.
