Edition originale de l'ouvrage de Robert DELAVIGNETTE (1897-1976), haut fonctionnaire, administrateur colonial et directeur de l’Ecole nationale de la France d'outre-mer: "En 1952, l'auteur [...] rencontra à Royaumont un prêtre-ouvrier. De cette rencontre naquit un certain nombre de méditations, que Robert Delavignette note et développe ici. Des souvenirs d'enfance et des souvenirs d'une carrière coloniale se matérialisent dans deux figures d'ouvriers: un Français, Le Marianneux, puddleur à la forge de Sainte-Colombe, un Africain, Birama, forgeron dans le Niger. C'est le monde en pleine évolution que Robert DELAVIGNETTE saisit, car Sainte-Colombe est le creuset où se forme au début du siècle un vaste groupement industriel, et Birama, forgeron ambulant, suivi de son griot, est déjà tout près d'ètre arraché à son groupe social. Enfin l'auteur examine un problème important de notre temps, mais avec tout le calme et le recul nécessaires: celui des prêtres-ouvriers. [...] Prenant tantôt l'allure du récit, tantôt le caractère de l'essai, mais toujours avec le même accent, ce livre tend à créer un climat utile à la recherche des rapports humains entre l'Europe industrielle et l'Afrique encore artisanale, un climat propice à l'éthique des relations inter-raciales, un climat favorable enfin à l'intelligence que nous devons avoir du rôle des missionnaires chrétiens dans leur évangélisation ouvrière, aussi bien en Europe que dans les autres pays du monde." (présentation de l'éditeur); 1 des 25 exemplaires sur vélin pur fil, justifié n°15 (seul papier numéroté). Français

xxxix, 231 pages. Footnotes and index. Black and white reproductions of photos. "A religious, well-educated Victorian, Eliot Curwen takes us into the heart of the colonial society he encountered. His journal provides insights into its pervasive sectariansim, the tawdry political world of St. John's, the rudimentary conditions aboard the fishing schooners, and the poverty of the Labrador 'livyers,' the permanent white settlers who had intermarried with the Inuit. His candid remarks about Grenfell reveal details about the young missionary and social reformer not found elsewhere." - dust jacket. Faint pencil erasure atop half-title page, otherwise book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A pleasing copy. Book
