Le ressassement éternel

First edition on ordinary paper.
Half black morocco over marbled paper boards by P. Goy & C. Vilaine, spine in six compartments, date at foot, marbled endpapers and pastedowns, blue folded covers preserved, top edge gilt.
Exceptional autograph inscription from Maurice Blanchot to his brother and sister-in-law Inge: "Pour vous, mes chers, ces pages hélàs très anciennes que seuls vous pouvez garder jeunes... Et en effet quoi de plus proche de la solennelle fatigue de la mort que le piétinement de la monotonie, harcèlement gigantesque au sein du recommencement [For you my darlings, these pages sadly so old that only you can keep them young…And indeed what could be closer to the solemn fatigue of death than the footsteps of monotony, the gigantic difficulty at the heart of any new beginning]."
Half-title and final endpaper faded.
A very good and handsome copy suitably bound.
