Description
BARRES, Maurice. ‎On the Blood of Pleasure and Death. Paris, Albert Fontemoing, n.d. (c. 1903). In-8 (19.5 x 13 cm), half-shagreen with corner pieces, ribbed spine. Covers preserved (spine missing). 341 pp. Spine faded and scuffed. Yellowed printing paper. This copy is enhanced by an autograph dedication signed by Maurice Barrès to the French translator and literary critic Henry Durand-Davray (1873–1944): ‘To Mr Henry D. Davray with my warmest regards’. New edition (labelled ‘fourth’ on the title page and ‘fifth’ on the cover), preceded by a note from the author dated January 1903, of these travel impressions, gathered in Spain and Italy around 1892, by a young author still inspired by the lingering Romanticism of the late 19th century. A fine copy, inscribed by the author.
