Paris: The Olympia Press, 1955. Decorated wrapper over stiff wrappers.Tips a bit rubbed, original price scratched through on lower wrapper, otherwise a very good copy. First edition of this translation attributed to Robert Nurenberg of the autobiographical, VIE D'UNE PROSTITUÉE. An expurgated form of the French text was published in LES TEMPS MODERNES in Dec. of 1947, and the uncut French text by René Bertelé in 1948. One of the several editions published in the US in the 1960s, I, MARIE THÉRÈSE MEMOIRS OF A PROSTITUTE, included a prefatory note by Simone de Beauvoir, placing this narrative of survival in Paris and Berlin during WWII in its context.
