195458313Paris Gallimard 1954. Uncut in the original printed wrappers. A very nice copy housed in a beautiful brown half morocco box with gilt lettering to spine and gilt super ex-libris to front board. <br/><br/><em>First edition Service de presse-copy i.e. review-copy "S.P" to bottom of title-page and to verso of back wrapper of Camus' magnificent and highly influential collection of essays entitled "Summer" inscribed to the famous critic of literature and drama the writer Guy Dumur 1921-1991: "à Guy Dumur/ l'une des/ ÉTÉs ÉTÉ being printed an L' crossed out in front with s added in Camus' hand/ son vieil et fidele ami/ Albert Camus" on half-title.The younger Guy Dumur was a close friend of Camus who hired him to work on "Combat" with him. It is reported that he had a great talent for discovering new talent. Since childhood he was extremely passionate about the theatre and came to work with all the great dramatic figures in Paris at the time. He is also famous for a number of well respected novels. The essays in "L'été" are devoted to Algiers and represent a very personal side of Camus who provides a marvelous poetic and humorous picture of the provincial simplicities of Oran and Algiers. For many Camus-devotees "L'Été" constitutes one of the most beloved works as it gives the feel of a certain intimacy with the author that few of his other works does. "In "Return to Tipasa" perhaps the most confessional essay in "Summer" which dates from a long trip to Algeria in December 1952 Camus issues his now famous testimony of survival - "In the depths of winter I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer" Hawes: Camus A Romance 2009 pp. 181-82. </em> unknown

Entire issue: 16 -advertisements pp. pp. 65-128 16 -advertisements pp. <br/><br/><em>The very rare first printing of one of Camus' earliest literary productions namely the first part of his famous "Été à Alger" which was printed later the same year in his second book "Noces" for which there is an advertisement on the inside of the back wrapper in the second part of the very rare Algerian review "Rivages".In all only two numbers of "Rivages" appeared as it was interrupted due to the censorship at the beginning of the war. It was edited by Camus together with Gabriel Audisio René-Jean Clot Jacques Heurgon and Jean Hytier and was published by Edmond Charlot in Algiers. The aim of the review was to provide to the rest of the world with an insight in to the rich cultural life of the Mediterranean. When "Été à Alger" originally appeared in "Rivages" Camus had only published one book ""L'Énvers et l'Endroit" 1937. Later in 1939 his second book "Noces" which is announced in the present volume of "Rivages" appears. </em> unknown
19462405010Hamish Hamilton 1946. 1st UK 1st impression. Hardback. Near fine/Very good. <p>The received wisdom is that our 'case-hardened' anti-hero Meursault is outside usual bourgeois notions of sensibility and emotion but this did not according to Sartre make Camus an existentialist a label the author himself also rejected. As an Algerian he was beyond the pale anyway the original stranger. First published in French in 1942 much adolescent angst has been expended since on this slim novella usually in Livre de Poche or Folio format. This version on the other hand is toute autre chose - a very handsome volume indeed with a superb cover by Edward Bawden. Given the strictures under which this was produced it's amazing to see it in such good condition today and it should be kept well away from any student bedroom. The book's boards are clean and good and just a little worn to top edge. Text block is fine with no foxing to this cheap war economy paper. The unclipped jacket has marginal losses to spine top and is slightly grubby verso.</p> . Hamish Hamilton unknown

29017Bruxelles Dynamo coll. « Brimborions » 14 janvier 1960. 1 vol. 120 x 190 mm de 10 p. et 1 f. Broché. . Édition originale. Un des onze premiers exemplaires sur hollande n° 5. . C'est dans la revue Confluences dans son numéro de juillet 1943 que paraît L'intelligence et l'échafaud. Les personnages « sont de curieux héros qui périssent tous de sentiments et vont chercher des maladies mortelles dans des passions contrariées » dit Camus selon une tradition du roman français qui est d'aller droit au but selon le prototype de La Princesse de Clèves. De son auteur Mme de Lafayette à Benjamin Constant et jusqu'à Proust le texte est ici tout entier fondé sur l'admiration de l'art classique : Camus y reviendra deux ans plus tard lorsqu'il préfacera les oeuvres de Chamfort ; il donnera également plusieurs résonances à ce texte dans les éditoriaux de Combat de l'année 1944. Celui du 12 octobre 1944 reprendra par exemple la formule de Goethe présente ici : « Mieux vaut une injustice qu'un désordre ». Cette plaquette est achevée d'imprimer le 14 janvier 1960 soit 10 jours après le décès accidentel de Camus sur les route de Bourgogne. Tirée à seulement 51 exemplaires elle paraît simultanément à l'autre hommage rendu par Pierre Aelberts pour sa collection Brimborions savoir le Albert Camus de Jean-Paul Sartre. Rare en grand papier. Bruxelles, Dynamo, coll. « Brimborions », 14 janvier 1960. 1 vol. (120 x 190 mm) de 10 p. et 1 f. Broché. unknown
