Title: Charles de Foucauld: Explorateur de Maroc, Ermite Du Sahara
Description: Paris, Editions Casterman, 1926. Paperback. 4to. Stiff red pictorial wrappers. 300pp, (2pp). Illustrations, line drawings. Very good. Outer wrapper typically rather edgeworn, with spine a bit sunned; text block moderately, evenly age toned as usual. Attractive softbound first French edition of this biography of the French cavalry officer turned African explorer/geographer and finally Catholic priest, living among the Tuareg tribe of Algeria as a hermit until being assassinated -- a martyr on the fast track to canonization. For an oversize softbound this is an exceptionally tight and nice copy. .
