Description

MALRAUX, André Oraisons funèbres. [Paris] Gallimard, nrf (1971) In-8° (uncut). Paperback. First edition. Collection of 8 texts, including those commemorating the liberation of Paris or the death of Joan of Arc, the funerals of Le Corbusier or Braque, the transfer of Jean Moulin's ashes to the Panthéon or the speech "Pour sauver les monuments de Haute Égypte" ("To save the monuments of Upper Egypt"). Made to be read aloud, these orations inevitably arouse emotion and stir the soul with their appeal to History and, beyond that, to the Destiny of men and things. As Malraux wrote in his preface, p. 10: "Les discours appellent le disque plus que le livre". Numbered edition limited to 390 copies, one of the top 80 on Hollande van Gelder laid paper (no. 33). Ref. Gérard, M. - "L'oraison funèbre selon Malraux, ou Comment concilier l'art et l'action", in Revue d'Histoire Littéraire de la France, 2002/6, vol. 102, pp. 1001-1012. - http://beaucoudray.free.fr/malraux.htm.
