MALRAUX, André

La lutte avec l’ange.

      Octavo, 243pp. First edition of Malraux’s The Walnut Trees of Altenberg — the first volume of a projected cycle that was never continued. The first and last chapters, set in a German detention camp, which frame the story, are printed in red. Of a total edition of 1465 copies, one of 1436 on ordinary paper. Very good to near fine in publisher’s printed wrappers.
