[viii], 9-324 pp. 340 x 260 mm (13½ x 10¼ inches). The Visionary is the name that Maria Theresa gave to her cousin Manuel who lives in the dream. Once - only once - he tried to tell her his passion. Captive teenager of a hypocritical and correct environment, to escape it he invented an imaginary world. However, with him takes refuge his desires. And this haunted domain, created from scratch, deforms according to its delirium, shaking it until it wakes up. Then he will let himself die so as not to find the odious real life. The hero of Kafka was the prisoner outside the castle which he was not entering, the Visionary is the prison of his. It is after her death that Marie-Thérèse will discover the truth in his secret books. This work of 1934 will continue to put Green apart, in his unique universe, but which will always remain current by the contradictions it reveals: sexual attraction fought by a no less violent attraction of the spirit. (Le livre du Poche) André Marchand (1907–1997) was a French painter of the new Paris school and one of the founder members of the Salon de Mai. Édition limitée en feuilles. Limitation totale 180 ; ceci étant l'exemplaire 111. Imprimé sur Velin de Lana. Recto., 43 initiales, 24 illustrations dans le texte et 13 planches André Marchand. Le texte a été retravaillé par rapport à l'édition originale de 1934. Signé par Marchand au colophon. Étui, chemise cartonnée, chemise souple (papier rigide) imprimée en rouge, faux titre avec colophon au verso, frontis & titre. Très bel exemplaire de cet ouvrage, avec de charmantes illustrations. L'étui est un peu émoussé, mais toujours en bon état, solide et propre. Le dos de la chemise cartonnée est légèrement assombrie. Le livre lui-même est en excellent état. [viii], 9-324 p. 340 par 260 mm (13½ par 10¼ pouces). La Visionnaire est le nom que Marie-Thérèse a donné à son cousin Manuel qui vit dans le rêve. Une fois - une seule - il a essayé de lui raconter sa passion. Adolescent captif d'un milieu hypocrite et correct, pour y échapper il s'invente un monde imaginaire. Cependant, avec lui se réfugie ses désirs. Et ce domaine hanté, créé de toutes pièces, se déforme au gré de son délire, le secouant jusqu'à son réveil. Puis il se laissera mourir pour ne pas retrouver l'odieuse vie réelle. Le héros de Kafka était le prisonnier à l'extérieur du château dans lequel il n'entrait pas, le Visionnaire est sa prison. C'est après sa mort que Marie-Thérèse découvrira la vérité dans ses livres secrets. Cette œuvre de 1934 continuera à mettre Green à part, dans son univers unique, mais qui restera toujours d'actualité par les contradictions qu'elle révèle : attirance sexuelle combattue par une attirance non moins violente de l'esprit. (Le livre du Poche) André Marchand (1907-1997) était un peintre français de la nouvelle école de Paris et l'un des membres fondateurs du Salon de Mai.
