299pp. Introduction and Notes By Robert Mallet. These letters were published shortly before Gide's death. These letters, 171 in all, and mostly those of Claudel's as part of his archives were destroyed during the Tokyo earthquake of 1925. These letters were of highly personal and of intimate nature, cruel and wounding to both, but the authors were prepared for the worse. Bound in light blue cloth lettered in gilt, spine lettering gilt, a bit of fading to head of spine.A very god copy in unclipped, very good dust jacket with chipping to spin ends and toning to rear panel.
