Louis ARAGON (1897-1982). Autograph manuscript signed, From Gérard Philipe, [1959]; 4 pages in-4 with erasures and corrections. Beautiful text on the death of Gérard Philipe (November 25, 1959). "Perdican is dead. Because we were able to pass him the Cid's habit to finally sleep, the Cid doesn't die, he grows old... [...] Why is it that, of all these characters of insane courage or perversity, greatness or love, Gérard Philipe will remain Perdican for me from now on? Perhaps it's because he's the last living image I have of him, I mean in the theater, and not this shadow on the screen. Ah, what a Perdican he was! Intolerable as youth"... He regrets the missed encounters with Gérard Philipe, who had moved to 17 rue de Tournon; his operation; the silent crowd in front of the house; the sinister ballet around the death chamber... "Perdican could not grow old. At thirty-seven, the age when Pushkin, Apollinaire and Mayakovsky die, he closed his eyes before becoming different from himself [...] Gérard Philipe, behind him, leaves only the image of spring. We should be bitterly envious. Heroes like him never wrinkle [...]... All over the world, this death strikes with astonishment all those who have a head for dreams and a heart for love. All over the world, young people feel their youth has been touched [...] His loved ones have taken him to the skies of the last vacations, to Ramatuelle, near the sea, so that he may forever be the dream of sand and sun, out of the fog, and remain eternally the proof of the world's youth. And passers-by, as the sun shines on his grave, will say: No, Perdican is not dead! He had simply played too much, and needed to rest from a long sleep".

RESTIF DE LA BRETONNE (N. E.). LE PAYSAN PERVERTI, ou Les Dangers de la ville. Printed in La Haie and found in Paris, Lejay & Mérigot jeune, 1776. Eight parts in 4 volumes in-12 ½ polished midnight-blue chagrin, ornate ribbed spine, gilt title, gilt head (Later binding). T. I: [fleurondudu titre : chapeau de berger et flûte entrelacés] (4) ff. d'Analyses placées entre le titre et celui du 1er f. de la préface, VI-290 pp. - Vol. II: [title finial: two doves pecking at each other, quiver, torch, twigs] 316 pp. - Vol. III: [title finial: foliage] 244 pp. - Vol. IV: [title finial: vase, ornaments and tree leaves] 204 pp. Upper part of first 38 pages of vol. II browned. PROBABLE COUNTERFEIT, nevertheless very close to the edition considered original described by Rives Childs and to the "second edition" described by Lacroix (after the one of "1775", which he claims never to have seen): it contains 255 LETTERS, followed by the Statutes of the town of Oudun (pp.171 to 191) and an additional LETTER (pp. 191/192) entitled Lettre (suposée) d'Edmond, à Madame Parangon, the 256th and last letter in the collection. The pagination of the volumes corresponds to the bibliographies of Rives Child and Lacroix, except for the pagination of vol. 4, which comprises 204 pp. including tables, instead of the 200 pp. (including tables) announced by the bibliographers. The 4 unfoliated pages containing the Analyses de quelques Ouvrages dont il y a nombre chés les Libraires désignés (Analyses of a number of works by the booksellers listed at the end of these Analyses), the Liste des ouvrages de l'Auteur (List of the Author's Works) and the notice sur Le Fin-Matois (Notice on Le Fin-Matois), which should be at the end of vol. 4, have been bound in at the head of vol. 1 between the title page and the paginated III/IV page (Publisher's Preface). The fleurons on the title pages of all 4 volumes correspond to those described by Rives Childs and Lacroix, except for the "traits" announced in t. III, which are missing from our copy. The foliation defects described by Rives Childs are not present in our copy. VERY PRETTY EXEMPLAIR in an elegant binding from the last quarter of the 19th century. ¶ Rives Childs, 226, XIV-1 - Lacroix, who does not mention an edition with the address Lejay & Mérigot jeune.
