Topaze Marcel Pagnol Mid-to-late ’40s paperback French language play

Exiles is James Joyce's only extant play and draws on the story of "The Dead", the final short story in Joyce's story collection Dubliners. First edition thus. This is a "very good" or better vintage hardcover in light tan cloth wrapped boards. The spine and hinges are tight and crisp, as are the board corners. The text block is square and closes tightly. Spine head and heel are lightly bumped. Some light staining within the back cover hinge toward the bottom. Aside from a gift inscription dated 1955 on front free endpaper, no writing. No loose, torn or folded pages. The matching vintage dust jacket is price clipped. A triangular loss at front upper corner, and smaller ones on spine head and heel. Spine lightly sunned. Now in a protective removable archival sleeve. See accompanying images for complete condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
