Title: Dégradé. Suivi de Théâtre des marionnettes, avec une composition de Jean Marembert
Author: Jausion, Jean
Seller: Bernett Rare Books Inc (United States)
Description: Paris: Éditions Réverberes, 1938. Octavo (21 ×13.5 cm). Original printed wrappers; unpaginated (33 pp.) including a frontispiece after a drawing by Jean Marembert. Overall very good condition. Limited edition of 300 copies. Rare volume of poems published by the neo-Dadaist group Les Réverbères, which was founded in December 1937 by Michel Tapié, Jean Marembert, Jacques Office, Pierre Minne, and Henri Bernard, and which promoted Dadaist exhibitions, jazz concerts, stage performances, and published literary works. Among the exhibitors were: Louis Cattiaux, Marembert, Pierre Minne, Tapié, as well as members of the "La Main à plume" surrealist group: Noël Arnaud, Marc Patin, Jean-François Chabrun, and others. Among other events, the group also organized "Tribute to Dada" soirées, which featured readings of texts by Tristan Tzara, Ribemont-Dessaignes, and others. In "Art of the Defeat: France 1940-1944," Laurence Bertrand Dorléac asserts that the group still met for several gatherings retaining the spirit of the 1930s even after the German occupation of France in June 1940. The Neo-Dadaist activities around Michel Tapié have not been explored to any significant degree and are rarely mentioned in passing in the literature on Dada and Surrealism. One exception is Michel Fauré's book "Histoire du surréalisme sous l'Occupation", published in 1982. The reason for the sparse state of research is probably that the experimental, elaborate avant-garde prints, most of which were produced in very small editions, are hardly accessible due to their rarity. Very scarce; as of December 2023, OCLC lists only 2 copies in North America.

Condition: Very Good+ in Very Good dj
Description: New York: Ives Washburn, Inc.. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. (c.1939). First Edition. Hardcover. [a nice solid copy, light shelfwear to bottom edge and at top of spine, one-time owner's name scrawled at top of ffep; jacket has a couple of tiny chips at top of front panel, a few nicks elsewhere along top and bottom edges, very shallow paper loss at spine ends]. "Written out of deep understanding and with the authority of over 13 years first-hand knowledge of the situation in East Asia, this book by the famous New York Times correspondent is hugely informing and definitely exciting. [The author] knows personally and intimately the leaders of both countries in the Chinese-Japanese conflict and here presents his personal -- and factual -- account of their objectives, their methods and the conditions which now obtain in China as a result of their strategies." Abend (1884-1955) reportedly worked briefly in the film industry (as a title-writer and scenario reader, although I've been unable to uncover any actual credits for him), followed by stints on various newspapers; he went to China in 1926 as the NYT chief correspondent in Peking, and ended up spending the next fifteen years there, despite an effort by the Chinese government to deport him in 1929 when they took exception to some of his columns. He covered the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, and essentially was on the ground for the Sino-Japanese War for the rest of the decade. In 1937 he was wounded during a Japanese artillery bombardment, and later beaten by Japanese military police; he repaid the favor with his reporting on the "Rape of Nanking," which exposed the extent of Japanese atrocities in that city. After returning to the U.S. in 1941, he embarked on a career as a freelance writer and lecturer; during the 1940s he turned out approximately a book a year, and also wrote extensively for The Saturday Evening Post, Look, Reader's Digest, and other such popular magazines. .
