[NOTICE EN FRANÇAIS À LA SUITE]
Paris, Gallimard, (6 février) 1958. 1 vol. (120 x 190 mm) de 69 pp. et 3 ff. In wrappers. As published.
First edition. This is a service de presse copy.
Inscribed : "to Jean Schlumberger, in faithful and friendly thought, Albert Camus".
Nice copy given to Jean Schlumberger, one of the four founders of the Nouvelle revue française in 1908, together with Gide, Copeau and Ruyters, before being joined by Gaston Gallimard to the destiny that we know. Camus, since L'Etranger in 1942, has published all his works with this publisher.

Several copies in strict period bindings also have the famous "fault" and a cover from the second printing (see Brun, page 33).
Finally, it should be noted that there is an intermediate state between the first and second editions (the one with 528 pages): a table of contents printed on the back of p. 523 of some copies, instead of the "achevé d'imprimer" (as in the Edouard Loewy copy or that of Docteur Cottet), but this presentation was considered too summary and only… Read More
