Limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies, plus 50 non-commercial copies. This copy belongs to this special edition and bears the letter E. Published the same year as the novel’s first edition, *Mademoiselle de La Ferté* is one of Pierre Benoit’s most subtle stories. In it, the author sets aside the grand, exotic settings that made him famous to depict, with remarkable psychological finesse, the confined atmosphere of a provincial home and the torments of a heroine trapped by social conventions. This work, considered one of his most accomplished novels, holds a unique place in his bibliography. A beautiful collector’s copy, printed on high-quality paper and preserved in its original binding. Cover in fine condition. Interior in good condition, paper fresh.
