ORIGINAL EDITION on publisher's paper.
"These travel, work, and reading notes are devoted to places, works, and the skills of creators. Rarely longer than a page, they are written with an acute and, I would say, majestic concern for style. Julien Gracq indeed possesses all the qualities and ambitions of the great tone: precision, breadth, musicality, irony, familiarity. Each piece is composed as a goldsmith mounts a stone or as a singer holds a note, without one ever feeling the effort or the artifice. A little haughty at times, Gracq is forgiven his superbness by the modest meticulousness with which he works each sentence. He is, in literature, a craftsman-lord, and perhaps the last of his race." François Nourissier, Le Figaro Magazine.
Nice condition.
