Description
[VERCORS] - BRULLER (Jean) - Hell. Confessions of a Damned Soul. Paris, Aux Nourritures Terrestres, 1935; folio, 76 pp., green half-maroquin binding with bands signed by Louis Gilbert, original covers preserved, ribbed spine, gilt head. A series of colour engravings with a text by Jean Bruller (also known as a writer under the pseudonym Vercors). A print run of 255 copies, numbered in Arabic numerals; our copy, complete with the series of engravings, is numbered in Roman numerals, suggesting it was a gift or a contributor’s copy. A very fine copy. Jean Bruller, known as Vercors, born in 1902 and died in 1991 in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, was a French illustrator and writer. He adopted the literary pseudonym Vercors in 1941 whilst in the Resistance. Thereafter, he retained his surname for his work as an artist and his pseudonym as his writer’s name. His most famous novel is *Le Silence de la mer*, published clandestinely in 1942.
