First edition.
Larbaud, forerunner of the "poète-reporters" of our century, lover of "the trepidation of trains and ships", here doubles as Barnabooth, the billionaire poet and dilettante, for whom the taste for luxury and refined objects increases with the pleasure of money spent for the love of beauty (En français dans le texte, n°343).
Signed letter from the author on the title page, to the daughter of novelist Léon Hennique: à Mademoiselle NicoletteHennique, respectueux hommage.
A very attractive copy in a soft contemporary binding.
