About This Item

Paris: Nrf, 1928. Fine. Nrf, Paris 1928, 12x19cm, relié. - Édition originale, un des 796 exemplaires numérotés sur pur fil, seuls grands papiers après 109 réimposés. Reliure à la bradel en plein cartonnage vert forêt, dos lisse, pièce de titre de veau glacé jaune, couvertures et dos conservés, reliure de l'époque. Envoi autographe signé d'André Breton?: «?à Edmond Jaloux, hommage très dévoué. André Breton?». Edmond Jaloux qui fut l'un des plus précoces promoteurs du surréalisme, rédigea à la sortie de ce roman atypique et incompris par la plupart de ses contemporains, l'article le plus laudateur de l'époque, concluant par cet admiratif aveu de l'impuissance de la critique face à la modernité de l'œuvre de Breton?; «?cet examen, je le sens bien, demeure extérieur au livre et ne vous donne en rien le sentiment de poésie intense, de grande, libre et vraie poésie qui se dégage de Nadja et qui agit sur votre esprit [...] comme un alcool extrêmement capiteux, avec cette différence qu'aucun alcool ne vous donne les rêves qu'excite la prose émouvante de Monsieur André Breton.?» Précieux exemplaire sur grand papier enrichi d'un envoi autographe de l'auteur et truffé de l'article original d'Edmond Jaloux contrecollé sur deux double-feuillets libres. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] Nadja Nrf | Paris 1928 | 12 x 19 cm | Bradel binding First edition, one of 796 numbered copies on pur fil paper, the only grands papiers (deluxe copies) after 109 reimposed. Full green board Bradel binding, title piece in glazed yellow calf, covers and spine preserved, contemporary binding. Presentation copy inscribed by André Breton: ""à Edmond Jaloux, hommage très dévoué. André Breton"" ""To Edmond Jaloux, a very devoted tribute. André Breton"". Edmond Jaloux, who was one of the earliest promoters of surrealism, wrote at the release of this atypical novel and misunderstood by most of his contemporaries, the most laudatory article of the time, concluding with this admiring admission of the impotence of criticism in the face of the modernity of Breton's work; ""this examination, I can sense it, remains outside the book and in no ways gives you the feeling of intense poetry, of great, free and true poetry which absolves Nadja and which affects your mind [...] like an extremely intoxicating alcohol, with this difference that no alcohol gives you dreams that stimulate the moving prose of Monsieur André Breton."" Precious grand papier (deluxe) copy with a handwritten inscription from the author and filled with the original article by Edmond Jaloux pasted on two loose double leaves.
