André Masson illustrating André Maurois' Swiftian novel.From the edition limited to 155 copies signed by the author artist and publisher with this one of 104 nominatif examples on vélin pur chiffon de RIves.'Parodiant Jonathan Swift . André Maurois composa une fantaisie d'un pays gullivérien où la race sur l'habitat de laquelle un couple est abandonné est mue par la soif plutôt que par la faim sexuelle . Maurois a suggéré à Masson un thème doublement érotique. Non seulement les illustrations de Masson renferment une certaine dose d'humour abstraction faite du portrait de l'auteur qui sert d'introduction mais encore leur sensualité particulièrement dans les couleurs est rarement égalée même dans l'oeuvre de Masson.' see Cramer pg. 122.Cramer 47.

1931006122<p>London: Longmans Green and Co. 1931. First edition. Half leather. This is the first edition first printing of the first volume appearance of Winston S. Churchill's engaging speculative history essay "If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg". Churchill's intriguing piece first appeared in Scribner's Magazine in December 1930 as part of a series of "What If" articles by eminent authors of the time. In 1931 Longmans published this book-length work on the same theme including Churchill's piece at pp. 173-196. <br /><br />We commissioned this magnificent binding in half red Morocco goatskin over marbled paper-covered boards. The hubbed spine features gilt tooling on and framing the raised spine bands as well as twin dark brown spine labels. The covers feature gilt rule transitions between the Morocco spine and corners and the marbled-paper sides. The contents are bound with matching marbled endpapers silk head and foot bands and gilt top edge. The newly commissioned binding is flawless. The contents are crisp and clean with no previous ownership marks. The only appreciable soiling is a small stain to the upper fore edges that does not intrude on the contents within as well as an incidental hint of spotting confined to the fore edges. <br /><br />This British first edition preceded an American counterpart and oddly we find it scarcer even than copies of the original magazine publication. Churchill's essay herein displays the commanding grasp of history and the facility for extrapolation that made him so formidable as both a statesman and a writer. Moreover his interest in America's great struggle was quite serious; Churchill toured Virginia battlefields with the great Civil War historian Douglas Southall Freeman and toured Gettysburg with none other than Dwight Eisenhower. Thirty years later Churchill would publish a book on the subject The American Civil War 1961 excerpted from his epic A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. <br /><br />Reference: Cohen B43.1.a Woods B18 <br /><br /></p> Longmans, Green and Co. hardcover

La Guerre et la Paix narre lÕhistoire de la Russie ˆ lՎpoque de NapolÂŽon Ier notamment la campagne de Russie en 1812. La richesse et le rÂŽalisme de ses dÂŽtails ainsi que ses nombreuses descriptions psychologiques font quÕil est souvent considÂŽrÂŽ comme un roman majeur de lÕhistoire de la littÂŽrature. Tolsto• y dÂŽveloppe une thÂŽorie fataliste de lÕhistoire o le libre arbitre nÕa quÕune importance mineure et o tous les ÂŽvÂŽnements nÕobÂŽissent quՈ un dÂŽterminisme historique inÂŽluctable. Guerre et Paix a engendrÂŽ un nouveau genre de fiction. Bien quÕaujourdÕhui considÂŽrÂŽ comme un roman cette Ãuvre a cassÂŽ de si nombreux codes du roman de son ÂŽpoque que de nombreux critiques ne le considÂŽrÂrent pas comme tel. Tolsto• considÂŽrait lui-mÂme Anna KarÂŽnine comme sa premiÂre tentative de roman au sens o les EuropÂŽens lÕentendaient. Guerre et Paix fut ˆ lՎpoque de sa publication un immense succÂs bien que Tolsto• ne sÕy attend”t pas ce dernier pensant mÂme que son oeuvre passerait inaperÂue. Cramer 202.

1931008157London: Longmans Green and Co. 1931. First edition. Hardcover. This the first edition first printing of the first volume appearance of Churchill's engaging speculative history essay "If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg". This copy is rendered doubly compelling by being an elusive binding variant and retaining the rare and striking dust jacket. <br /> <br />This jacketed copy the only we have offered - is very good plus in a very good plus dust jacket. The green cloth binding is square and tight with bright spine gilt and sharp corners. We note only light soiling to extremities. The contents remain bright with a crisp feel and no previous ownership marks. Differential toning to the endpapers corresponds to the bright yellow dust jacket flaps confirming that this copy has spent life jacketed. Spotting is heavy to the top edge lighter to the fore and bottom edges occasionally intruding into the blank inner margins. The distinctive dust jacket printed in green and black on yellow stock is complete apart from fractional loss to the spine head and unclipped retaining the original lower front flap price. The spine shows only slight toning and minor wear is substantially confined to extremities. The dust jacket is protected beneath a removable clear archival cover. <br /> <br />Churchill's intriguing piece first appeared in Scribner's Magazine in December 1930 as part of a series of "What If" articles by eminent authors of the time. In 1931 Longmans published this book-length work on the same theme including Churchill's piece at pp. 173-196. This British first edition preceded an American counterpart and oddly we find it scarcer than copies of the original magazine publication. It becomes genuinely rare thus in the original dust jacket and is rendered an elusive prize when found in this variant binding of the British first edition first printing. Per Churchill's bibliographer Ronald I. Cohen this variant binding is "Bound in moderate bluish green embossed calico-texture cloth" as opposed to red cloth and slightly reduced page size from 235 x 151.2 mm to 217 x 140.7 mm. <br /> <br />Churchill's essay herein displays the commanding grasp of history and the facility for extrapolation that made him so formidable as both a statesman and a writer. Moreover his interest in America's great struggle was quite serious; Churchill toured Virginia battlefields with the great Civil War historian Douglas Southall Freeman and toured Gettysburg with none other than Dwight Eisenhower. Thirty years later Churchill would publish a book on the subject The American Civil War 1961 excerpted from his epic A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. <br /> <br />Reference: Cohen B43.1.b Woods B18. <br/><br/> Longmans, Green and Co. hardcover
