32143Paris Éditions du Pavois 20 décembre 1946. 1 vol. 195 x 265 mm de 17 p. 1 et 1 f. Broché non coupé. . Édition originale. Tirage unique à 80 exemplaires n° 80. . Rare plaquette dans laquelle Malraux consigne les sentiments qui l'assaillirent à la lecture des Sept piliers de la sagesse de Thomas Edward Lawrence. Lawrence d'Arabie le fascine depuis la fin des années 1920 ; l'admiration se double ici d'une proximité intime avec cet écrivain-aventurier obsédé par son oeuvre ses versions ses destructions ses repentirs. Ce texte bref contemporain des Noyers de l'Altenburg et du grand chantier abandonné du Démon de l'absolu est une lecture nécessaire pour comprendre la manière dont Malraux projette sur Lawrence sa propre « crise de l'écrit » : méfiance envers la biographie manuscrits perdus ou détruits doute sur la valeur de ses livres et tentation de ne les offrir au public qu'avec réticence.

197385169Paris: Gallimard 1973. Fine. Gallimard Paris 1973 14 x 20.50 cm agrafé First edition printed in 50 copies on bouffant alfa paper and consisting of an offprint of the preface to Cahiers de la Petite Dame by Maria van Rysselberghe. Rare and handsome copy. Autograph inscription dated and signed by André Malraux to his friends Karl-Hans and Minka Strauss. Minka granddaughter of the Rothschilds and Karl-Hans Strauss were important patrons and collectors of art and music close to André Malraux.
