Before that, he had been a carping, suspicious actor of his life, poisoned with insincerity. A sterile depression had little by little settled upon him. Now he is in love, he spends himself, he is committed, he goes naked, he is a challenger. I greatly appreiate this alchemist." 8vo, 62pp, publisher's self wraps, many textual edits to the English text written in pen and pencil, modifying the translation. Text in English and French, #34 of 350 copies, many pages uncut. Spine a little chipped, slt. tanned, overall very good. OCLC: 10584938.
