Faber & Faber | London 1961 | 12 x 18.50 cm | broché | Nouvelle édition. Petites pliures angulaires sur les platsn dont une plus remarquable en tête du premier plat. Signature manuscrite de Lawrence Durrell sur la page de faux-titre. Provenance : de la bibliothèque de Jani Brun. Parmi les oliviers et sous le soleil méditerranéen, Lawrence Durrell rencontre au milieu des années 1960 la jeune et pétillante "Jany" (Janine Brun), montpelliéraine d'une trentaine d'années à la beauté ravageuse, qui travaillait au département des Antiquités de la Sorbonne à Paris. Elle fut prénommée «Buttons» en souvenir de leur première rencontre, où la jeune fille portait une robe couverte de boutons. Henry Miller tomba également sous le charme de «Buttons», louant sa beauté et son éternelle jeunesse dans d'exceptionnelles lettres restées inédites. Les trois compères passèrent des soirées parisiennes mémorables dont nous gardons de précieuses traces autographes à travers leurs échanges épistolaires. Recommandée par Durrell, elle fit de nombreux voyages notamment en Angleterre d'où elle reçut une vaste correspondance de l'écrivain ainsi que des œuvres d'art originales signées de son pseudonyme d'artiste, Oscar Epfs. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] New edition. Small corner creases to covers, one more noticeable at head of first cover. Manuscript signature of Lawrence Durrell on the half-title page. Provenance: from the library of Jani Brun. Among the olive trees and under the Mediterranean sun, Lawrence Durrell met in the mid-1960s the young and vivacious "Jany" (Janine Brun), a thirty-something woman from Montpellier of devastating beauty, who worked in the Department of Antiquities at the Sorbonne in Paris. She was nicknamed "Buttons" in memory of their first meeting, when the young woman wore a dress covered with buttons. Henry Miller also fell under the charm of "Buttons," praising her beauty and eternal youth in exceptional unpublished letters. The three companions spent memorable Parisian evenings of which we preserve precious autograph traces through their epistolary exchanges. Recommended by Durrell, she made numerous trips particularly to England from where she received extensive correspondence from the writer as well as original works of art signed with his artist pseudonym, Oscar Epfs. *. …
