MICHAUX (Henri).
La Nuit remue. P., NRF, 1935, in-12, br. partially uncut (browned back restored, cover stained). Partly first edition. Precious copy of the press service, with a friendly autograph letter signed by the author : "une autre façon d'être noctambule... / to Mr. and Mrs. de Saint-Exupéry / in all friendship / H. Michaux". This mailing, which apparently contains a humorous reference to Night Flight, Saint-Exupéry's famous novel published in 1931, is most surprising. Indeed, the intimate relationship between the author of The Little Prince and the author of Plume is not attested by any of their biographies. As for their respective approaches to literature, they are very different from each other. Both published by Gallimard, it is undoubtedly through André Gide that the two men met. Exceptional meeting of two of the most singular authors of the 20th century.
