Description:
New York, NY: Covici-Friede, 1929. Book. Good. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Covici-Fried, 1929. First edition. 8vo. Dark navy-blue cloth with embossed lettering on spine, rough-cut pages, 214 pp. This manuscript was not found in a bottle; it was literally found on the ocean. The discovery of a little packet by a well known American writer looking for stamps amid a mass of old letters; the deciphering of these letters, creased, worn in parts, and hardly legible, brought about the realization that they contained priceless material for the life history of one of the greatest writers of French prose, Maurice de Guerin. An intriguing and revealing look at de Guerin. Spine sunned, rubbed at top and bottom, repaired. Corners rubbed, minor foxing on endpapers. Most of the pages uncut, appears unread. Good..

Description:
New York: Covici, Friede, Publishers, 1929. First American edition, with the bookplate of the translator on the front pastedown and his signed manuscript note on the front endpaper "Two copies uncut and bound by hand, of which this is No. I / Paris 1929 / A Little Gift for the Shining Lady". 8vo. (6), 213, (1) pp. Correspondence in French and English on facing pages; "The Centaur" is in English. Guerin's "death-bed letter" (he actually died several years later), dictated to his friend Barbey d'Aurevilly and signed by Guerin, is affixed to an internal page in its chronological sequence. Maurice de Guerin (1810-1839) was a French Romantic poet who achieved cultish admiration as one of the earliest practitioners of the poem in prose; with his friend Barbey d'Aurevilly (1808-1889), he would have a decisive impact on the later "Decadent" writers. Very good untrimmed copy. Three-quarter black morocco, marbled boards and endpapers, gilt spine title, top edge gilt. (#6162).
