ORIGINAL EDITION. One of 210 numbered copies on vellum pur fil Lafuma-Navarre, the second paper after 35 copies on Hollande.
These three books make up the "Hussar Cycle", the story of Angelo Pardi, a young Piedmontese forced to emigrate to France. The cycle begins with Angelo, continues with Le hussard sur le toit, in which cholera, a symbol of war, strikes and spreads throughout the Midi, and ends with Le bonheur fou, during the Italian revolution of 1848.
A beautiful set.
