Prima edizione
First Edition, First Printing. With a New York Herald Tribune clipping laid-in, dated April 26, 1942 reviewing this book. Decorative endpapers. Near fine copy with just a trace of rubbing to the lettering at the spine without dust jacket. Elliot Paul was one of the noted American Paris expatriates of the 1920s, co-editor of Transition magazine and knew all the notables of the period. Of the flowering of writing that came out of 1920s Paris, Paul is the only American to write a lengthy memoir of what it was like to interact and immerse oneself in the people of his Paris neighborhood. This book is basically the story of the lives of the people of the street on which he lived, the Rue de la Huchette. Paul lived there for the better part of 18 years, until the Nazi occupation of France prevented his return. A genuine classic.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Limited Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine acetate dust jacket. This is 1/200 numbered copies with a corduroy binding. Harry Crosby, the nephew of banker/financier J.P. Morgan, died in 1929 at the age of 31 in a double suicide pact in a New York hotel with one of his mistresses. What brought this priviledged Bostonian to such an abrupt end is not so eay to explain. When America officially entered the First World War he volunteered with the U.S. Army Ambulance Corps. It was during the the Battle of Orme that an artillery shell exploded next to him killing everyone nearby but sparing Harry. From that point on, he was obsessed with death and the brilliance of the sun. He moved to Paris int he early 20s living the bohemian life with his fellow expatriates, indulging himself in all of the taboos as if to challenge death to take him. These diaries record his fascination with travel, exotic intoxicants, open marriage and above all--death. It has been said by a contemporary that when Harry died, so died the Lost Generation.
