Description

BLOY, Léon. 5922

Le Désespéré. Paris, Tresse & Stock, 1887; in-8, half havana parchment, green title page, tear to cover. First printed edition, from 1886, put on sale seven years later. The publication of the edition Soirat not having given rise to any lawsuit, the publisher Stock decided in 1893 to publish his own, printed but stored in his cellar. He amended the passage directed against Francis Magnard in accordance with the Soirat edition by making the booklet containing it hard-bound and had the copies stapled under a backdated cover. Address : " to Monsieur l'abbé Mugnier, Léon Bloy ", on the false title (reassembled?)

BLOY, Léon. 5922
