Henri MICHAUX. Ecuador. Travel Journal. Paris, Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue Française, 1929. Small in-4 format, lime-green box cover adorned with a geometric mosaic pattern of black box pieces running continuously across the covers and spine, lime-green box lining, black suede endpapers, untrimmed, cover and spine preserved, slipcase (Jean-Luc Honegger). First edition: one of the first 109 copies reprinted in a tellière in-4 format on Lafuma Navarre laid paper (no. XCVIII). “Ecuador, a travel journal, is the only journal Michaux seems to have actually kept. […] He sent it in installments to Paulhan […]. Everything is in Ecuador, literally and in every sense. It is a book of instability, of malleability. […] *Ecuador* is a laboratory: it is the book in which Michaux found himself, the first through which he would be willing to remain represented” (Michaux, *Complete Works I*, Pléiade, pp. 1070–1071.—Imbert, no. 32).
