187 x 254 mm. (7 3/8 x 10"). 120 pp, [2] leaves.Translated from the French by C. Bruerton. Original blue buckram backed with vellum, smooth spine. With the dust jacket and slipcase. With 12 wood engravings in color by René Ben Sussan. Inscribed in ink on limitations page: "pour Charles Peignot / amicalement / J. E. Pouterman." âVellum a little soiled, buckram lightened by glue along edge of vellum, a little rubbed at extremities, but the binding entirely satisfactory, and fine internally. This attractively printed and illustrated volume is the result of an international effort. A mystery told from several points of view and set in the U.S. state of Virginia, it was written--originally in French--by an American who was the first non-French national elected to the Académie Française; it was printed for a short-lived British private press at a French press known for luxury and bibliophilic editions; and it was illustrated by a Greek-born artist who primarily did work for the American Limited Editions Club. Julian (or Julien) Green (1900-98) was born in Paris to American parents, and spent most of his life in France, apart from attending the University of Virginia and working for the Voice of America during WWII. He was fascinated by his mother's Southern heritage, and set a number of his works, written in French, in the American South. Our copy was presented by book designer J. E. Pouterman to typographer Charles Peignot (1897-1983), director of the Deberny & Peignot type foundry in Paris for nearly 50 years and the founder, in 1957, of the Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI). First Edition in English. No. 245 OF 375 COPIES for sale, 25 of these on Japanese vellum, and 35 hors commerce.…
