1902. Großenhain, Baumert & Ronge, 1902. 8°. 152, (2) Seiten. Original Hardcover. Originaler Jugendstileinband mit vergoldetem Vorderdeckelemblem. Außergewöhnlich guter Zustand dieser äußerst seltenen Anthologie. Enthält Texte von Emile Verhaeren, Georg Eekhond (Georges Eekhoud), Emile van Arenberg, Georges Rodenbach, Iwan Gilkin, Albert Giraud, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Charles van Lerberghe, Maurice Maeterlinck, Max Elskamp, Gregoire le Roy, André Fontainas, Fernand Severin, Valère Gille, Georges Marlow, Georges Rency., 1902, 0, London: The Fortune Press. [1930]. Limited edition of 2,050 copies, this being number 145. Limited edition of 2,050 copies, this being number 145. Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine. Lacking the dustwrapper. Top edge gilt, the others untrimmed. Part of the limitation of 2,000 copies printed on antique laid paper (with the remaining 50 copies printed on Rives mould-made paper). A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a hint of rubbing to the boards and a bump to the foot of the spine. The contents with a partially erased previous owner's inscription (dated 1934) to the front free endpaper and a little toning to the endpapers and page edges are otherwise in very good order and clean throughout. The scarce Fortune Press edition of Huysmans' fin-de-scièle novel recounting the experiences of the novelist Durtal, who, disenchanted with contemporary Paris, is drawn into the underworld of nineteenth-century satanic worship after he begins work on a biography of Gilles de Rais, the fifteenth-century nobleman and mass murderer. Brimming with vivid, detailed accounts of demons, satanic rituals and dark occultist activities, culminating with a famous description of a 'black mass', the work frequently found itself banned by the authorities. Due to the fact that no copies have been recorded either in institutions or in commerce with limitation numbers greater than 500, it is often suggested that only 500 copies were ever actually bound into book form; an ad hoc publishing process partly motivated by cost and partly due to official suppression of the text. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers., London: The Fortune Press. [1930], 0<
