MORAND (Paul). Bouddha vivant. Paris : Bernard Grasset, 1927. - In-12, paperback. VERY RARE ORIGINAL EDITION of this famous novel by Paul Morand. This is one of the 40 proof copies before corrections, printed for the members of the Académie française, numbered on the cover (n° 13). The completion of printing bears the date "00 June 1927". The justification is printed on the cover. We have not found any other copy of these proofs on the market, and the only two found in public libraries are for one in the Netherlands and for the other in England. A very well preserved copy.
