Product DETAIL
The text oscillates between a philosophical reconsideration of sacred concepts and a societal reflection, nodding to Paul Lafargue's title. It is a poetic manifesto typical of Char's later, more contemplative style.
Michaux, Henri
Choix de poèmes
In Choix de poèmes, Michaux’s poetic trajectory is gathered into a compact, portable compass. This édition originale collective was issued by NRF in 1976; the present copy is from the minute head issue of fifteen on vélin pur fil. Miguet’s sober Havana-morocco binding, with panelled frame, marries elegance to rigor—akin to a voice moving between vision and observation. The selection shows the steady pursuit of inner landscapes and linguistic shock. For bibliophiles, luxury paper, original state and atelier binding make a persuasive triad. Provenance from Jacques Dauchez provides a discreet, eloquent seal.

Poteaux d’angles
In Poteaux d’angles, Henri Michaux returns to compact, probing prose balanced between poem and notebook. Issued by L’Herne in 1971, this copy is from the exceedingly scarce head issue on Hollande paper. Miguet’s raspberry-morocco panelled binding lends a mineral poise that suits Michaux’s angular sentences. The brief pieces act as beacons—jottings, sallies, flashes of insight and refusal. For bibliophiles the trio is ideal: original edition, luxury paper, and a fine atelier binding. The Jacques Dauchez provenance seals its pedigree.

Moments
Moments is a late, compact Michaux volume where language probes time in brief surges and pauses. The grey-buffalo Jansenist binding—by Miguet—frames the spare layout and lets the text’s rhythm breathe. The title points to flashes of consciousness: halts, starts, reprises. As the édition originale in NRF’s “Le Point du Jour” series, the book exemplifies postwar bibliophile exactitude: precise setting, generous white, tactile paper. This copy is from the very small head issue on vergé de Hollande. The binding’s discreet elegance heightens reading focus.

Les ravagés
Les ravagés is a late, taut volume in which Michaux probes inner devastation through brief, charged passages. The taupe box-calf Jansenist binding—plain, unadorned—mirrors the text’s austerity and lends the bibliophile object a quiet weight. Fata Morgana’s lucid typography respects the prose’s breathing. As the édition originale, this copy belongs to the very scarce head issue on Arches. The slipcase by Miguet confirms the material care. An intense work where wound, recovery, and interior mapping are handled with surgical poise.
