Item description from seller

Two manuscripts. Quartos (9" x 11"). *Varouna*: [2], iv, [1], 345 foliated leaves. *Journal 1940-43*: [1], iii, 323 foliated leaves. Each bound in black textured cloth boards, very good or better. Two original manuscripts of the English translations, both presumably by James Whitall, written out in ink on the rectos; with manuscript corrections. *Varouna* is signed at the bottom of the final leaf: "Paris June 1938 – February 1940". First published in French in 1940, Whitall’s English translation of Varouna was published in 1941 by Harper & Brothers under the title: *Then Shall the Dust Return*. The English manuscript of the *Journal, 1940-43*, written out in the same hand, likely was not published. *OCLC* records one French edition of the "Journal. Vol. 3, 1940-43" published in 1946 (*OCLC* 59116014). Born in Paris of American parents, Julien Green (1900-98) authored several remarkable novels, a four-volume autobiography: (The Green Paradise, The War at Sixteen, Love in America, Restless Youth), and a famous nineteen volume Diary (1919-98): published in France from 1938 to 2001. Green wrote primarily in French and was the first non-French national to be elected to the Académie française. This English manuscript translation of the "Journal 1940-43" was presumably made from the French edition of the *Diary*. An unusual set of two uncommon English manuscript translations of Green’s *Varouna* and wartime journal from 1940-43. …
