Le Géranium ovipare. Paris, José Corti, 1935. In-8, paperback. First edition: press copy. The last collection of Georges Fourest (1867-1945) cultivates the cheerful humor and the burlesque genre. Autograph letter signed on the false title : To Robert Randau / who announced prophetically / the blossoming of this generarde (?) / in cordial homage (letter / follows). Georges Fourest Is it Robert Randau (1873-1950), colonial administrator and writer, founder of Algerianist literature? The French Academy awarded in 1940 to this "French Kipling" the prize Alfred-Née.
