First editions.
Collection of satirical memoirs published by Beaumarchais between 1773 and 1774 in the form of false reports and pleadings of the trial which then pitted him against Judge Goezman. These memoirs, which mix dialogues and interrogations, entertained the whole of Paris, including Madame Du Barry, and were played almost everywhere in the cafés and on the boulevards, because they constitute a formidable comedy in which the lie ends up being revealed.

Le Zoo des Vedettes. 

s.l., s.n., [v. 1950].
More Details >
2000 €

First edition printed at 400 numbered copies (n° 35), with 68 caricatures by Georges BASTIA (1904-1980), on 61 plates, , representing the stars of the show of the time such as Sacha Guitry, Jean Gabin, Gérard Philippe, Madeleine Renaud, Jean-Louis Barrault, Brigitte Bardot, Jean Marais, Simone Signoret, Yves Montand, Yvonne Printemps, Bourvil, Michel Simon, etc.

Although bearing the same title and including the same preface as the work published by Éditions Héracléïa v. 1946, this work is completly different.

The rarity of this edition comes from the fact that the quality of the plates which compose it is such that they are often sold separately and sometimes by mistake as original works.
Indeed, each lithograph has een enhanced with gouache by the artist, which gives a kind of uniqueness to each copy.

Le Front rouge. 

s.l., s.n., n°1 juillet 1931.
More Details >
2500 €

First edition of the poem Le Front Rouge.
Following the publication of Aragon's poem "Red Front" in the first issue of the journal "La Littérature de la Révolution mondiale", the government prosecuted the poet for provocation to assassination. Aragon in this poem indeed called for "getting down the cops" and "sweeping the Elysée". The copies of the magazine were therefore seized and destroyed by the courts.
The surrealists immediately took to the defense of their comrade and published a series of pamphlets and leaflets. André Breton notably defends the total freedom of poetry. However, Aragon did not recognize himself in Breton's texts and announced his break with the surrealist movement in March 1932. An important episode in French literary history during which each of the actors of the surrealist movement was able to express their position on the place poetry in society.
Rare copy of this magazine having escaped judicial seizure, absent from most collections devoted to surrealism.

André Vasseur, scholar and great collector of literary journals, has here supplemented the copy of the journal with 8 other pieces (brochures and leaflets) published by surrealist circles about this affair. On a page bringing together bibliographical notes in his hand, he notices that most collections of this type do not have number 1 of "La Littérature de la Révolution mondiale"
