AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An old issue of the famous French literary and cultural review Revue des Deux Mondes, dated February 1, 1935, clearly indicated on the cover. This copy features a soft beige to off-white cover, typical of publications of the era, with sober black printing. The main title "REVUE DES DEUX MONDES" dominates the upper part, followed by the founder's name, François Buloz, and the mention "Cent cinquième année" (One hundred fifth year), indicating the publication's age.

The detailed table of contents on the front cover lists the main articles and authors such as Maurice Bedel, René Chambe, Augustin-Thierry, Pearl Buck, Albert Buisson, Albert Schinz, Louis Laloy, and others, highlighting the intellectual richness of this edition. Article titles like "L’alouette aux nuages" (The Lark in the Clouds), "Le prince impérial" (The Imperial Prince), "Questions économiques" (Economic Questions), "Feuillets algériens" (Algerian Pages), "Revue musicale" (Musical Review) or "Chronique de la quinzaine. Histoire politique." (Fortnightly Chronicle. Political History.) reflect the diversity of topics covered, ranging from literature to economics, political history, and music.

The lower right corner of the cover shows slight visible wear and a small tear, attesting to the age of the copy. The spine is slightly patinated, and the paper's texture reveals a certain fragility characteristic of old reviews. No other defects are visible on the front face.

At the bottom of the cover are the mentions "LE NUMÉRO – 240 PAGES – 6 francs" (THE ISSUE – 240 PAGES – 6 francs) as well as the publisher's address: "PARIS – 15, rue de l’Université". On the left edge, the name of the review and the date are printed vertically, making it easy to identify in a library or on a shelf.

The photograph shows the magazine placed on a wooden table, in an old library setting, which highlights the retro and authentic aspect of the work.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Visible wear from use on the cover, particularly in the lower right corner (crease, small tear), overall patina consistent with age.

Did you know? The Revue des Deux Mondes, founded in 1829, is one of the oldest French literary reviews still in activity. It has hosted many major authors, such as George Sand, Charles Baudelaire, and Marcel Proust, and has long been a crossroads of ideas between France and the international community, as its title suggests.
