Frontispiece: a woodcut by André Masson.

*Liberté grande* is Julien Gracq’s only collection of poems; it was the subject of two expanded editions in 1958 and 1969. The poems collected here, written between 1941 and 1943, had already appeared, in some cases, in magazines associated with Surrealism, such as *Fontaine* or *Les Quatre Vents*.
A very fine copy prepared by Pierre-Lucien Martin.
From the library of Xavier de Planhol, with bookplate.
