ARAGON, Louis.
Les Aventures de Télémaque. Paris, Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue F rançaise, 1922. In-12 [181 x 129] of a portrait, 95 pp. and (2) ff. the last one blank : paperback. First edition. Dedicated to Paul Éluard, it is illustrated with a portrait of the author by Robert Delaunay printed on China paper. A Dadaist variation on an ancient myth, this "manifesto of writing" masks a subversive practice of the novel genre, circumventing all the better the ban imposed by André Breton. THE NUMBER I OF 35 COPIES OUT OF TRADE ON VERGÉ DE RIVES. Autograph signed on the false title: To André Gide, // Louis Aragon. Distant sending testifying of the difficult relations between the two writers. Nine months earlier, Aragon had published in Littérature an article entitled Revue rhénane, Neue Rundschau, NRF... in which he attacked Jacques Rivière, attacking in passing André Gide. Aragon was to confess much later: "Note, I did not like Gide very much... but, from the French point of view, he was an important writer." Cover detached with small lacks at the headpieces.
