Librairie Jose Corti, 1949. Hardcover. Green Hardcovers, gilt titles to the spine. The inside is clean & unmarked and the binding is tight. Spine end and corner bumping, cover edgewear, some scraping to the spine. "Fusées: Baudelaire said that he left the pages of Fusées because he wanted to date his anger and his sadness, feelings inspired in him by the “debasement of the hearts” of his contemporaries. The frantic race towards Plutus, the veneration of progress and the vain celebration of materialism, the poet regarded all this with disdain, as so many signs announcing the twilight of civilization. Fusées is a hard-hitting work, sometimes raw, which is distinguished by its prophetic dimension. " ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 475 pages. Very Good .

She has an account of sliding down Dunvegan hill on the mud track in the pouring rain, knowing it would be impossible to get up the other side anyway. She stayed at Dunvegan and noted that the windows in the buildings, shipped from the east in molasses barrels, seemed to have arrived in one piece. "; Drawings; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 148 pages.
