1964réf. 4490Gateshead on Tyne United Kingdom: Secker & Warburg 1964. hardcover. Very Good. Janina Ede. Publication: London Secker & Warburg 1964 Formatting: 8vo pp. 224. Condition Report: Very Good. The book is firmly bound in its original olive-green cloth presenting a square and tight spine with only the slightest hint of shelf-wear to the extremities. Internally the text block remains remarkably bright and crisp entirely free from foxing oxidation or any prior ownership markings reflecting a well-preserved copy. The original pictorial dust wrapper whilst retaining its striking design shows minor rubbing and very light toning to the panels alongside a small unobtrusive crease to the lower front edge. Overall it remains a highly presentable and structurally sound example. Catalogue Note: This volume represents the first English translation of Colette’s 1913 novel L'Entrave brilliantly translated by Antonia White. It was issued as part of the publisher's acclaimed ‘Uniform Edition’ of Colette's works a series highly prized by mid-century collectors of French literature in translation. While the interior text remains unillustrated the striking and evocative dust wrapper design is the work of the prolific British illustrator Janina Ede who provided several covers for the author's English releases during this period. The book bears no previous ownership inscriptions or bookplates presenting as a very clean unmarked copy. First English editions of Colette's works in their original well-preserved wrappers have become increasingly uncommon on the open market particularly those without the heavy chipping or fading often associated with this specific print run. It remains a highly desirable acquisition for completists of the Uniform Edition. In this compelling sequel to The Vagabond Colette continues her exploration of love independence and the complexities of human attachment. Set against the vibrant bohemian backdrop of early twentieth-century Paris the narrative follows Renée Néré as she grapples with the conflicting desires for personal autonomy and the inescapable often irrational pull of a new romantic entanglement. A masterful examination of passion and the human heart brought to vivid life through Antonia White's definitive translation. Secker & Warburg hardcover
