Né en 1889 Paul Lombard a été rédacteur en chef de la revue L’Homme libre journal de Clémenceau et critique littéraire sous le pseudonyme de Louis Méritan. Paul Lombard est de ces critiques qui comme l’a montré Thierry Laget Proust Prix Goncourt Gallimard 2019 reprochaient à l’Académie Goncourt d’avoir décerné leur prix à un écrivain trop vieux trop riche : "Au lieu de cela cette année le prix Goncourt … échoit à M. Proust qui n’est pas jeune : il a conquis en peu de jours une notoriété dont j’ignore le secret ; le prix Goncourt même s’il l’a mérité ne lui sera d’aucune utilité" déplore-t-il dans L’Homme libre du 11 décembre 1919 p. 2. Probablement aurait-il préféré que Les Croix de bois de Dorgelès remportât de prix d’autant que l'écrivain avait été un collaborateur régulier de L’Homme libre.Expertise by Ségolène Beauchamp 86bis rue de Bellébat 45000 Orléans and Pierre Prévost 75 rue Michel Ange 75016 Paris.

In 1908 Irish poet and novelist Padraic Colum 1881-1972 selected forty-five tales from Poe's collection to form a new version of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination. A first posthumous collection of Poe's work was compiled and published in 1850. It was only in 1902 that the title Tales of Mystery and Imagination was used for the first time in England by The World's Classics.</p> <p>Poe's command of language and technique his imagination and his use of horror and mystery enabled him to become an influential figure in the American literary world and abroad. He played a significant role in the readers' growing interest in Gothic fiction - which had sprung from the Romanticism movement of the late eighteenth-century with English authors such as Ann Radcliffe 1764-1823 - and established short stories as a serious literary form. </p> <p>Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination is composed of stories of revenge and murders like 'The Cask of Amontillado' haunted house tales like the well-known 'The Fall of the House of Usher' and one of the first detective stories in fiction 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue'.</p> <p>This copy of Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination belonged to Sir John Monash 27 June 1865- 8 October 1931 - Commander of the Australian Corps during World War One and civil engineer - as indicated by the signature on the front endpaper. Sir John Monash was commander of the 4th Infantry Brigade during the Gallipoli campaign. In July 1916 he was promoted Major General and commanded the Australian 3rd Division around Ploegsteert. Being of Prussian-Jewish descent his rise within the army wasn't without contention but in 1918 he obtained the rank of Lieutenant General and commanded the Australian Corps. After World War One Monash accepted the appointment as Director-General of Repatriation and Demobilisation and carried out the repatriation of Australian troops from Europe. E. W. Cole unknown

19193134<p>A good to very good copy of the first trade edition with Harry Clarke's famous illustrations. This was Clarke's second published work and was illustrated with black and white plates. It was reprinted 4 years later with some additional colour plates. Clarke's style beautifully complements Poe's writing. With 24 full page plates including the frontispiece and numerous designs a particularly spooky example at the end of the book. The sage green cloth binding with black titles and decoration to the front board and gilt titles to the spine is clean and sound. The front board has some surface and edge scuffing with wear to the corners. The spine is rubbed towards the top and bottom with some fraying to the ends - particularly at the top where there is a small cloth tear at the joint with the front board. The gilt titles are bright. The back board has surface rubbing particularly at the spine joint edges where there are few tiny pale spots and corners. Top page edges are gilted; remainder untrimmed. The contents are complete and very clean with a few text pages unopened. Both free endpapers are browned and there is some foxing to the text particularly the pages before and after the plates. There is a dark mark on the side margin of p148 which is mirrored on the opposing plate margin. The plate at p30 has a slightly rough edge towards the top. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.</p> George G Harrap & Co Ltd hardcover
