Presented by the Franco-American Cultural Exchange. NY: DISC (Asch

Contains a half-page introduction by Maria Jolas, followed by nine poems in
French with English translations, and full-page editorials in both French
and English by Francois Mauriac and Albert Camus (both dated 25 August
1944). This very scarce work was published by Moses (Moe) Asch who set up
his Asch Recording Studios in the early 1940s, first recorded Woody
Guthrie, founded Folkways Records in 1948, etc. The WorldCat finds only two
copies of this work at Northwestern U and UTexas. This seems to be the
first appearance of Camus in English. $75.00
