1945réf. 17881945 Couverture souple Paris, La Mandragore, 1945. Un volume in-4 (33,5 x 26 cm), en feuilles sous chemise titrée et rempliée, dans son emboîtage, quelques accrocs à l'emboîtage. 124 (3) pages, illustrées de compositions en couleurs de Léon Masson. Tirage à 170 exemplaires, le nôtre un des 134 exemplaires sur vélin de Rives à la forme (n°162). Dans ce texte extrait des "paradis artificiels", Baudelaire dépeint l'opium comme une porte vers un monde onirique et décadent, mais aussi comme un miroir des abîmes de l'âme, entre extase et désespoir. L'ouvrage s'inscrit dans la tradition du romantisme noir et annonce les thèmes de la modernité littéraire. Bel état des planches et du texte, bon exemplaire de édition illustrée.

1925réf. 46404415Paris, Éditions du Monde Moderne, 1925 ; in-12, broché. 141 pp., 1 f.Introduction d’Albert de Pouvourville : “... il me faut me laver d’un reproche que vont me faire, très haut et très officiellement les Sociétés de tempérance qui exercent un contrôle sévère sur la vertu des contemporains, contrôle qui absout naturellement chacun de leurs membres des atteintes individuelles que, contre ladite vertu, ils ne manquent sans doute pas de commettre en leur privé. Mon ami chinois (l’auteur du livre) qui a la chance extraordinaire de vivre auprès du Jardin des Supplices, dans la récente République aux sept couleurs, ignorera toujours l’excommunication majeure des Sociétés en question, et de la S. D. N. qui en est le chef de file. El la connût-il, il ne ferait qu’en sourire, de ce sourire que mettent aux lèvres humaines cinq mille années de civilisation. Mais moi, citoyen de l’Europe infortunée, j’ai, de ces juges improvisés, une frayeur intense et justifiée. Car je sais leur austère intransigeance : je sais que, par eux, la libre et sèche Amérique, qui pratique le mariage en avion et le divorce au téléphone, a pudiquement réformé la Bible et déclaré que le Lord n’a jamais créé la vigne et que le patriarche Noé n’a jamais bu. (...) Nguyen-Te-Duc-Luat est médecin (...) Il est en outre Tongsang du rite Taoïste, ce qui équivaudrait chez nous à être docteur en théologie et superdocteur en philosophie. C’est un Sage. Son souverain qui honore les lettres, lui a jadis offert un poste de gouverneur. Il a refusé.” Pouvourville précise encore que l’auteur a eu 22 enfants et qu’il fume quotidiennement 30 pipes d’opium depuis le jour de sa puberté. Il a actuellement 74 ans. Le livre du docteur Nguyen est un manuel du fumeur d’opium : examen préparatoire, mécanisme et manipulation, art du fumeur, effets psychiques, théorie psychologique. Conclusion : “Les blancs, pour échapper à la tentation de la fée noire, n’ont qu’à rester paisiblement chez eux.”Un des 200 exemplaires sur beau papier.
