SCHWOB, Marcel.
Vies imaginaires. Paris, Bibliothèque-Charpentier, G. Charpentier et E. Fasquelle 1896. In-12 [184 x 116] of (2) ff. 276 pp. half black morocco, spine ribbed, gilt head, untrimmed, green paper lining and endpapers decorated with hand-painted foliage motifs, cover and spine preserved (20th century binding). First edition. Collection of twenty-two tales: lives of princesses and poets, pirates and assassins encountered during readings through old texts. J.L. Borges recognized in these hypnotic tales one of the sources of his own fictions. Unique copy enriched with three original gouaches by Jean Hugo, one of them free. Unsigned, they appear on pages 22, 90 and 194. The lovely paper used for the lining and the endpapers of the binding is decorated with a floral decoration in gouache on a green background, signed by Jean Hugo. The copy is pleasant.
