KESSEL (Joseph). Au Grand Socco.
Paris: Gallimard, 1952.

8vo (191 × 130 mm). 318 pp., (2) ff. Half midnight-blue morocco, raised bands, red morocco lettering-pieces, gilt lettering, top edge gilt; original spine and wrappers preserved. Binding by M. Delangre.

First edition, on large paper.
One of 100 copies on vélin pur fil Lafuma-Navarre, this being no. 87.
Set in Tangier on the eve of profound political change, Au Grand Socco captures Kessel’s gift for atmosphere, character, and the tension of historical transition. Large-paper copies of his post-war works are uncommon and increasingly sought after.

Spine lightly sunned; otherwise a very handsome copy.
