REBATET (Lucien). Les Décombres. Paris, Denoël, 1942. In-12, paperback. First edition. One of 50 copies on Rives white laid paper, the only large paper. 200,000 copies of this "bestseller of the Occupation" had been ordered from the printer, who, due to paper shortages, was only able to print 65,000, all of which were sold out in a few weeks in the summer of 1942. Despite its violence, the book is a significant historical testimony to collaboration and fascism in France. Some brown spots on the spine and edges.
