ELUARD, Poésie ininterrompue, 1946 Cartonnage Bonet

First edition.
One of the numbered copies in Paul Bonnet's cardboard binding (ours n°318).
Beautiful copy of this collection of poems published at the beginning of 1946.
At the end of that same year Eluard lost Nusch, who was his companion and muse for 17 years, who died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage on November 28, 1946.
This disappearance will plunge the poet into great moral distress, and this is perhaps the hidden meaning of this beautiful autograph dedication to the writer Aimé Blanc: "This book in which I did not believe myself to be mortal".
