MONTHERLANT (Henri de). - Lot 151
MONTHERLANT (Henri de). Set of 2 works by Montherlant, from the library of the actress Yvette Guilbert (1865-1944): - LES CÉLIBATAIRES. ROMAN. Paris: Grasset, [1934]. - In-12, paperback. First edition, second printing, with mention of "26th edition" on the cover. Copy on publisher's paper, with this beautiful letter from the author on the false title : " To Yvette Guilbert, // these stories of woodlice, // with the very sensitive memory of // your // admirer. // Montherlant " Copy slightly warped. Cover soiled. - STILL A MOMENT OF HAPPINESS. Paris : Éditions Bernard Grasset, [1934]. - In-8, paperback, filled cover. First edition with mention of "5th edition" on the front cover. This copy bears on the flyleaf this letter from the author: "To Madame // Yvette Guilbert, // whose genius will give // a new youth to these // old poems. // Respectful tributes // and sympathetic memory of // Montherlant. " Working copy, perhaps that of the actress and singer Yvette Guilbert, bearing multiple annotations, in graphite for the most part, on the cover as well as on the pages composing the section Poèmes d'inspiration française . These notes, sometimes partially erased, seem to have been used for reading. There are also annotations relating to a musical production. Spine reattached. Soiling and tears without missing the cover.
