BATAILLE (Georges).

Estimate :
Subscribers only

Le Bleu du ciel. Paris, Jean-Jacques Pauvert, 1957. In-12, paperback. First edition. Unique edition at 3000 numbered copies, without large papers. Written in a moment of rage, Bataille will say, in 1935, this novel was published only twenty-two years later, with some alterations. Autograph letter signed by Georges Bataille to Ernest Raynaud (1902-1969), known as R. Tréno, editor of Le Canard enchaîné from 1953 to his death: to R. Treno, homage from the author, G. Bataille. Under the mailing, R. Tréno himself signed the ex-dono: to Valentine, if that can instruct him. A beautiful and well preserved copy, despite a slight crease on the first cover.
