DARAGNÈS Jean-Gabriel (1886-1950) - GIRAUDOUX Jean (1882-1944)
Suzanne and the Pacific. Paris, Cercle Lyonnais du Livre, 1928.
Large in-8, green morocco decorated on the back and on the plates with foliage, gilt title on the first plate, gilt edges on witness, old pink suede lining and endpapers, folder and case (Georges Cretté).
Illustrated edition of 31 original brass instruments in colour and many woods printed in one colour in text by Daragnès.
Limited edition of 152 copies on paper from Holland, including 120 printed in the name of each member of the Circle, this one for M. Léon Comar. It was on the occasion of his engagement in the First World War that the idea of writing Suzanne et le Pacifique, published in 1921, was born in the mind of Jean Giraudoux. He was inspired by Defoe's novel, Robinson Crusoe, and in turn wrote the story of a shipwreck, that of a young woman from Bellac, Suzanne.
In all his writings, the writer made birds, flowers and animals speak for themselves, since he considered that love of nature was an essential dimension of human life. He will always evoke the seasons, especially spring.
His work Suzanne and the Pacific was perfectly in line with this tradition since the personal journey to which he invited his character, testified to the manifestation of all the seasons.
