Description

A collection of Val ry's shorter prose writings

This book brings together smaller volumes and booklets in which Paul Val ry published selections of his shorter prose writings: aphorisms, moral reflections, poetic observations, flashes of wit or fancy, even jokes--a variety of remarks and impressions, many of them first recorded in his Notebooks.

The Collected Works of Paul Val ry, the first collected edition of the writer in English, features new translations, the original French on facing pages for poetic works, and editorial notes.
