About This Item
Paris, Gallimard, [December 30, 1963], 1964.
1 vol. (185 x 117 mm) of 224 p. Brown morocco, arabesque mosaic decoration in two shades of red and two shades of green on a prominent light tan ground, title and dates in gilt lettering, gilt edges on booklet, green suede endpapers, folder, slipcase (Paul Bonet, 1964).
First edition.
One of the first 15 copies on Japon Impérial (no. 15).
A perfect copy, in a strictly contemporary binding by Paul Bonet.
This is the first of Bonet's two bindings for this work, and the only one on this first deluxe paper.
Sartre's autobiographical account first appeared in two issues of Les Temps modernes (October and November 1963), before being published by Gallimard in April 1964.
Despite Sartre's polemical image in French public opinion at the time, press tributes were unanimous, and the often inspired titles of the many articles that reviewed the book reflected the surprise and general emotion generated by Les Mots.
Without doubt his greatest and best book. And undoubtedly the finest copy here.
Contat & Rybalka, Les Écrits de Sartre, 63/383; Paul Bonet, Carnets, 1479.
