Journal d'un écrivain. Monaco, Éditions du Rocher, [1958]. In-8 [192 x 140] of 586 pp, (3) ff : paperback, in a brown morocco spine folder and case by Devauchelle. First edition of the French translation by Germaine Beaumont. Kept from 1919 until her suicide in 1941, it is both a true diary and a brilliant portrait gallery of the prestigious contemporaries that Virginia Woolf frequented. Autograph signed letter from the translator: To Natalie Barney // and from the depths of // my fatigue and my friendship // Germaine Journalist and novelist linked to Colette, Germaine Beaumont (1890-1983) was the first woman to win the Renaudot prize for her novel Piège in 1930. She was a member of the Femina committee for some forty years. Her life and literary career were marked by three famous women: Annie de Pène, her mother, Colette, her "spiritual mother", and Virginia Woolf, whose Diary she translated. She met Natalie Clifford Barney when she was 18 years old and became a familiar face in her salon. Beaumont was one of the ten people to whom Natalie Barney left a gratuity in her will.
