MIRBEAU (Octave). The Abbot Jules. Paris, Paul Ollendorff, 1 - Lot 171
MIRBEAU (Octave). The Abbot Jules. Paris, Paul Ollendorff, 1888. In-12, [3] uncounted ff. + 322 pp. + [1] blank f., covers preserved; autograph dispatch from the author "[...] his friend, Octave Mirbeau" but the name of the dedicatee has been cut off (upper part of the false title). Bound in brown half-chagrin, smooth spine, publishing date pushed to the tail of the spine, gilt lettering, boards covered with marbled paper. Corners dulled, rubbing to the spines. Some interior foxing. First edition. Mirbeau's second novel, evocation of a "damned" priest, in revolt against his Church and against a stifling and oppressive society, perpetually torn between the needs of his flesh and his "postulations" towards heaven.
