42 pp. 26,5x19 cm. Gravures de Dim. Galanis. Editions d'Art de Cusenier, Paris, 1925. Édition numérotée, No. 3058 (tirage inconnu). --- "Dans une plaquette de grand luxe, intitulée "Le Musée de la Double Soif" et éditée par Cusenier à la gloire de ses vieilles liqueurs, le maître Edmond Haraucourt a magnifiquement écrit l'Histoire du Vase et de la Coupe: amphores des Anciens, vaisseaux somptueux de la Renaissance, symboliques enveloppes que les artistes de tous les temps ont créées avec amour, autant pour satisfaire leur soif d'idéal que pour contenir les breuvages les plus nobles. Cette grande tradition d'art, trop abandonnée, réapparaît aujourd'hui sous l'impulsion de Cusenier qui a demandé à nos plus grands artistes du Verre et de la Céramique des oeuvres dignes de loger ses grandes liqueurs: les maîtres Lalique, Lachenal, Herbst collaborent déjà à cette renaissance".

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
