Best.-Nr. 27924S.l. Paul Hartmann 25 octobre 1930. 1 vol. 225 x 285 mm de 92 p. et 2 f. Broché. Édition originale. Un des 240 exemplaires n° 321 sur vélin de Rives. Envoi signé : « Pour Michelle Qui n’est ni patapouf ni filifer mais simplement belle – affectueusement. André Maurois ». Ce conte délicieux est une sorte de parabole sur la différence : deux frères Edmond Double dit Patapouf et Thierry Double dit Filifers s'entendent à merveille jusqu'au jour où l'un s'embarque pour la République des Filifers et l'autre pour le Royaume des Patapoufs. Entre les deux pays que tout oppose la guerre se précise très vite. Après des combats houleux les armes des deux clans se trouvent réunies par d'heureux mariages qui donneront des petits Patapoufilifers. Véritable réussite ce livre est aussi un outil pédagogique efficace pour expliquer aux enfants les mécanismes du racisme. Jean Bruller l'illustrateur disparaît avec l'entrée en Résistance : dans la clandestinité il prendra le nom de Vercors et livrera le texte bouleversant devenu un classique et un livre étendard de la Résistance : Le Silence de la mer. André Maurois eut trois enfants d'un premier mariage dont Michelle née en 1914 à laquelle cet envoi est probablement destiné. Devenu veuf il épousa Simone de Caillavet petite-fille de l'égérie et maîtresse d'Anatole France. Rousseurs éparses. S.l., Paul Hartmann, (25 octobre) 1930. 1 vol. (225 x 285 mm) de 92 p. et [2] f.

1930Best.-Nr. 25222Paul Hartmann éditeur 1930. In-4 broché de 92 pages au format 22,5 x 28,5 cm. Couverture rempliée avec titre imprimé. Dos resté carré avec petit manque au bas et légère fente en haut. Plats avec de très petites brunissures. Coins très légèrement tassés. Intérieur frais, malgré le haut de la page de titre, mal découpé. Magnifiques pages de garde et 75 superbes illustrations de Jean Bruller sur le texte d'André Maurois. Le texte d'André Maurois, n'est pas un simple divertissement pour enfants; il s'agit au contraire d'une sorte de parabole et de de conte utopique, dénonçant les débuts du nazisme ( Mein Kampf fut publié en 1925). L'auteur tente de montrer que les différences entre les hommes ( aussi bien physiques que culturelles ) peuvent être sources de bonheur et non pas de guerre. Un des 325 exemplaires numérotés ( n° 115 ), du tirage de tête. Rarissime édition originale en superbe état général et en version brochée. Précieux exemplaire ornée d'une double dédicace autographe, signée, de André Maurois. La dédicace est juste dédiée à " Claude ", mais le livre provient de la bibliothèque de Claude Aveline. Provenance idéale.

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.
