Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. John Astrop (Dustwrapper design) (illustratore). First UK Edition. The second volume of Simone de Beauvoir's autobiography, following on from "Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter". First impression of the first UK edition, published in 1962 as stated on the printer's page. The first English translation was published in the USA by the World Publishing Company, Cleveland and New York. The book was originally published in Paris, France as 'La Force de l'Age', by Librairie Gallimard in 1960. Translated from the French by Peter Green. Dedicated to Jean-Paul Sartre. Dustwrapper designed by John Astrop. ***Very good in blue cloth-covered boards, with silver titles to the spine. The silver is still nice and bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. The boards show some marks and rubbing commensurate with age and handling, but are undamaged. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding, but there is a light vertical crease to the spine. Spine tight. Page block edges slightly foxed, mainly to the top edge. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. Some foxing spots to the first and last couple of pages, but no internal foxing - pages clean. No creases or tears to the paper. ***In a good only colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has been corner price-clipped. Whilst the dustwrapper is essentially complete, there is a triangular chip to the lower edge of the back panel, which has been disguised with replacement paper by a previous owner (please see scans). The edges are creased and rubbed, with a few small edge nicks and closed tears, and some associated creasing. Having said that, the dustwrapper is still quite presentable, being clean and unbrowned. The spine of dustwrapper remains unfaded. Dustwrapper bright. ***222mm x 150mm. 479 pages. ***'The second volume of one of the great autobiographies of our age begins in freedom and delight. Simone de Beauvoir has escaped, as she described in "Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter," from a family atmosphere which she found stifling. She has fought her way out by intelligence, energy and the ruthless but touching egoism of an extraordinary gifted girl sure of her powers. She has joined forces with Jean-Paul Sartre, not in marriage, for which they see no reason, but in an enduring and supremely satisfying partnership of the mind, the imagination and the senses. There has never been a franker, more exact or more impressive account of a love than this portrait of the most notable literary couple in France.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***A first impression of the true first UK edition - fairly uncommon to find now in the original dustwrapper. Of interest to collectors of the work and life of Simone de Beauvoir, and of classic twentieth century French literature. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First English Language Edition. First UK edition, first impression. First published 1956 by Gallimard, Paris under the title 'Un condamne a mort s'est echappe'. Some edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners and folds slightly rubbed, spine very slightly faded, not price clipped (16s), small previous owner's inscription to ffep, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 223pp. The true story of French resistance fighter Andre Devigny's (1916-99), amazing escape from the Gestapo's prison at Montluc. He became one of three commanders of his group, alongside Gilbert Groussard, its namesake, and Jean Cambus. The group helped refugees flee to Switzerland, sent information to the British via their consul in Geneva, and sabotaged German materiel. In April 1943, Robert Moog infiltrated the group and turned several of its members over to the German authorities. Among them was Edmée Delétraz, who was then observed by the Gestapo. She was later suspected of having betrayed Jean Moulin, one of the best known members of the French Resistance, but Devigny always defended her vehemently against this charge. After Devigny met her, he was arrested and sent to the formidable Montluc prison, which was considered escape proof. There he was tortured by Klaus Barbie and his men, but he gave them no valuable information. He did, however, make an unsuccessful series of attempts to escape, and was punished after each one. He was sentenced to death on 20th August 1943, the execution to be carried out on 28 August. However, Devigny had discovered a way to remove his handcuffs with a safety pin. He ground the end of a spoon to a point on his cell's concrete floor and used it to remove the wooden slats near the bottom of the cell door and squeeze through the opening. At night he was able to leave the cell and speak with other prisoners. On the night of 24th August, when conditions for escape were optimal, Devigny and another prisoner who had recently been placed in his cell climbed out a skylight, using a rope made from a blanket and a mattress cover and a grappling hook fashioned from the frame of an old lantern, made their way across a roof and descended to the courtyard. Devigny threw a sentry to the ground and stabbed him with his own bayonet. The two inmates climbed an inner perimeter wall and, after a guard patrolling the perimeter corridor on bicycle had passed by, flung the end of the rope with the grappling hook across a 15ft gap to the outer wall. They swung across the gap on the rope and leapt to the ground, gaining the freedom of the streets. Eluding German search parties, Devigny fled to Switzerland with the help of comrades in the Resistance. Made into a film.
