MALRAUX (André). L'Espoir. Paris, Gallimard, 1937. In-8, navy blue half-maroquin with corners, gilt head, untrimmed, cover and spine (Alix). First edition. One of 230 copies on esparto (not numbered). A chronicle of the Spanish War, from Franco's putsch to the Battle of Guadalajara, L'Espoir is above all for Malraux a novel of commitment, to which he committed himself by taking part in the fighting on the Republican side. A very good copy despite some light brown spots on the first few leaves.
