Gide, Andre.
CORYDON.
New York City, NY: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1950. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 220 pages. Very Good+/Very Good+. Slight browning of DJ edges. The author's account on the still-controversial subject of homosexuality. Now considered a late-modern classic. Published in a very small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The first appearance of the title in English. There are no new printings of this book despite its central importance to Andre Gide's oeuvre. An early and thoughtful discussion at a time when it was still considered "avant-garde" and taboo to talk (let alone write) about the subject. A "must-have" title for Andre Gide collectors. This title has been out-of-print for a very long time. This is one of few copies of the First English-language Edition still available online and is in very good condition overall. A very scarce copy thus. Considered by Andre Gide himself to be one of his most important books. Regarded by Harold Bloom as one of the canonical works of the 20th century. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A very good copy. . ISBN 0374517770. $60.00 |
