Paris, Calmann-Lévy, [1913]. Volume in-8 (200 x 140 mm).

This novel by François de BONDY (Paris 1875/after 1955), a novelist and literary critic close to Proust, explores the circles of high society at the turn of the century with melancholic elegance. The success of the work led to several reprints, including one illustrated by Marty in 1925. A very luxurious copy.
