LARBAUD (Valery), Giro Dell'Oca - Lot 205
LARBAUD (Valery), Giro Dell'Oca Neuchâtel and Paris, Ides et Calendes, 1946. In-8, paperback, printed cover adorned with a vignette drawn by Henri Matisse. First edition of this text inspired by Valery Larbaud’s stays in Switzerland. Published in the aftermath of World War II, *Giro Dell’Oca* belongs to the writer’s later period, a body of work characterized by a deep curiosity about languages, travel, and European cultures. In this work, Larbaud rediscovers the erudite and cosmopolitan elegance that made him one of the great literary bridge-builders of the 20th century. The book is enhanced by a cover vignette engraved from a drawing by Henri Matisse, lending this publication an additional bibliophilic dimension. Limited edition of 1,531 numbered copies; this one is among the 1,500 copies printed on white laid paper, following a few special edition copies. A fine copy, preserved in its original slipcase. Cover in fine condition. Interior in good condition, paper uniformly fresh.
