ROYAUME-FARFELU. Histoire.
<p>Paris: Editions de la Nouvelle Revue Francaise 1928. 1928. Good. - Quarto 9-1/2 inches high by 7-1/2 inches wide. Softcover bound in printed light gray wraps titled in black on the spine and in red & black on the front cover. The edges of the covers are darkened and the overlapping front edges are creased and slightly chipped. There is a two inch piece out from the head of the spine and a smaller piece out from the tail of the spine with slight chipping to the top inner edge of the covers. 89 deckle-edged pages plus the colophon. There is a short tear to the front edge of the half title and the overlapping front edges of the pages are lightly darkened. The second to last page has been roughly opened with some small piece out from the front top edge of that leaf. A largely unopened copy. Very good.</p><p>First edition. Of a total edition of 572 copies this is one of 470 on "velin pur fil Lafuma Navare".</p><p>A surrealist's fantasy novel Andre Malraux's "Royaume-Farfelu" was based on his travels to Isfahan one of the architectural marvels of Iran. As described in Domnica Radulescu's essay "Malraux's Royaume-Farfelu: the Discourse of Desire and the Symbolic Murder of Woman" Washington and Lee University Lexington VA the novel "initiates a new mode in Malraux' expression of sensuality and offers a complex image of femininity. The female presence oscillates between an ideal of beauty and an unsettling image of destruction. The melancholy that envelops the female presences in the novel reflects Malraux's wonder at the female heart and his growing awareness of her suffering. By means of the 'farfelu' discourse and symbolism Malraux moves towards a many-sided image of woman as well as towards the liberation from the fears generated by her presence man coming to terms with his soul."</p> Paris: Editions de la Nouvelle Revue Francaise, 1928. paperback

Malraux, Andre; Stuart Gilbert (trans)
The Metamorphosis of the Gods
Garden City: Doubleday & Company. As New in Very Good dust jacket. 1960. First US Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full maroon cloth with embossed gilt lettering on cover and spine. Profusely illustrated with B&W photographs. In slipcase. Through the civilizations of Greece and Byzantium and Europe Malraux traces successive changes not only in the meaning of art but in its uses. One loses a sense of one period growing out of another and substitutes instead an awareness of forces that produced change beyond the definable worldly factors. Malraux reaches back into pre- history to ancient empires Minean and Mycenacean and Egyptian and Hittite; and forward to the classic eres as the Sophists undermined the prestige of the gods and the tyranny of reality lept Rome from true art. With the Byzantium overlordship came the linking and kinship between Christian and Oriental forms. A religious ferment was at work. Mosaics- not painting- took the place of the antique sculptures. Manuscript illumination- Coptic miniatures- the art of the illuminated book all were directed to a limited few the book loving elite. But with the religious revival of the 11th century and the Crusades architecture and sculpture found new birth. The Romanesque period established a new relationship between man and God and man and the world in which he lived:- the religion of love as the sacred found expression in human terms. Two centuries- and another change. With the 14th century came the emergence of purely secular figures- and sculpture in its turn was challenged by painting -- as it had supplanted mosaics. The feudal hierarchy was yielding to an urban way of life. This book expands- it opens wider still- the scope of the "Museum without Walls" which is Malraux' great gift to an art-hungry world. This is a superb translation by Stuart Gilbert of a work destined to take a permanent place. The volume is in perfect pristine condition unmarked tight square and clean. The unclipped dust jacket has some slight creases at the upper edges of the flaps light rubbing to spine ends and tips. In a good slipcase with a short split on the top edge light rubbing and sunfading to covers edges. AS NEW/ VERY GOOD. . B&W Photographs. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 400 pp . Doubleday & Company hardcover
