LES LETTRES FRANCAISES. Nrs 10, 11, 18. 1943/1944.

Paris: Comite national des ecrivans, May and October 1943 and July 1944

Three separate numbers of this wartime clandestine revue. Nrs 10 and 11 are uniformly 25.5 x 20.5cm, 4pp, nr 18 is 8pp. Long propaganda articles and poetic patriotic musings by many of the radical writers of the time including surrealists written mostly under pseudonym (“Argonne” is clearly Louise Aragon for example) and others also contributing to both group and individual articles included Claude Morgan, Paul Eluard, Jean Paulhan, Jean Paul Sartre and Michel Leiris. These copies are browned due to the cheap paper employed and with minor wear around edges but overall very good indeed.

All copies of Les Lettres Francais are rare especially in good condition. (Not to be confused with the exiled revue of the same name published by Roger Callois in South America).

PRICE IS FOR ALL THREE NUMBERS AS A GROUP
