Andre Maurois
Byron
Paris: Bernard Grasset 1930. First edition. Fine Binding. Fine. 8.5" by 6". None. A very smartly bound first edition set of Andre Maurois' biography of Byron. From the library at Julians Park once home to socialite and patron of arts Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie. This work is numbered 516 of copies printed on Velin pur Chiffon. In the original French. Rebound in beautiful half morocco bindings. Complete in two volumes. From the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie Audrey Evelyn James Coats and Audrey Evelyn James Field at Julian"s Park. Pleydell-Bouverie was the youngest daughter of an Anglo-American lumber and steel millionaire. Audrey was also alleged to be the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII although she was also rumoured to be his daugher or the lover of King Edward VIII. She bought Julians Park in 1940 following her third marriage to the Hon Peter Pleydell-Bouverie. Audrey was a patron of the arts and it is believed that she bound several books herself as many books from her library were stamped with her name and she owned a group of bookbinding tools. Her circle of friends included Winston Churchill Coco Chanel and Nancy Mitford. She was featured in Cecil Beaton's 'Book of Beauty' and was regarded as one of the Bright Young Things. In uniform half morocco bindings with paper covered boards. Externally excellent with minor shelfwear. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright. A few light spots to the preliminary leaves.

TOLSTOI (Lon) - PICASSO (Pablo, front de) - MAUROIS (Andr, prf de).
La Guerre et la paix.
1956. Paris Imprimerie nationale / AndrÂŽ Sauret 1956. Un fort vol. au format gd in-8 224 x 167 mm de 558 pp. brochÂŽ sous couvertures ˆ rabats rempliÂŽs. Tome Ier seul sur 3. Tirage de tÂte : un des 300 premiers exemplaires numÂŽrotÂŽs CCXXVIII du tirage sur grand vergÂŽ d'Arches ; les seuls ˆ comporter un deuxiÂme ÂŽtat volant sur papier de Chine du frontispice figurant en tÂte de l'ouvrage tirÂŽ en lithographie par les soins de Mourlot FrÂres. La Guerre et la Paix narre lÕhistoire de la Russie ˆ lՎpoque de NapolÂŽon Ier notamment la campagne de Russie en 1812. La richesse et le rÂŽalisme de ses dÂŽtails ainsi que ses nombreuses descriptions psychologiques font quÕil est souvent considÂŽrÂŽ comme un roman majeur de lÕhistoire de la littÂŽrature. Tolsto• y dÂŽveloppe une thÂŽorie fataliste de lÕhistoire o le libre arbitre nÕa quÕune importance mineure et o tous les ÂŽvÂŽnements nÕobÂŽissent quՈ un dÂŽterminisme historique inÂŽluctable. Guerre et Paix a engendrÂŽ un nouveau genre de fiction. Bien quÕaujourdÕhui considÂŽrÂŽ comme un roman cette Ãuvre a cassÂŽ de si nombreux codes du roman de son ÂŽpoque que de nombreux critiques ne le considÂŽrÂrent pas comme tel. Tolsto• considÂŽrait lui-mÂme Anna KarÂŽnine comme sa premiÂre tentative de roman au sens o les EuropÂŽens lÕentendaient. Guerre et Paix fut ˆ lՎpoque de sa publication un immense succÂs bien que Tolsto• ne sÕy attend”t pas ce dernier pensant mÂme que son oeuvre passerait inaperÂue. Cramer 202. Couverture prÂŽsentant un ÂŽclat lÂŽgÂrement altÂŽrÂŽ. Petite dÂŽchirure marginale et lÂŽgÂres plissures angulaires affectant la lithographie volante. Du reste trÂs belle condition.

André Masson illustrating André Maurois' Swiftian novel.From the edition limited to 155 copies signed by the author artist and publisher with this one of 104 nominatif examples on vélin pur chiffon de RIves.'Parodiant Jonathan Swift . André Maurois composa une fantaisie d'un pays gullivérien où la race sur l'habitat de laquelle un couple est abandonné est mue par la soif plutôt que par la faim sexuelle . Maurois a suggéré à Masson un thème doublement érotique. Non seulement les illustrations de Masson renferment une certaine dose d'humour abstraction faite du portrait de l'auteur qui sert d'introduction mais encore leur sensualité particulièrement dans les couleurs est rarement égalée même dans l'oeuvre de Masson.' see Cramer pg. 122.Cramer 47.
