Thrilling edition in its full decorated binding after the model by Paul Bonet and numbered 273 and 824 on vélin labeur and Alfa Navarre of this collection that brings together two theatrical works which attest to the essential place occupied by the theatre in the author's writing and to his constant interest in conflicts between passion, pride, desire, freedom, honor and relations of domination - Celle qu’on prend dans ses bras places at the forefront the affectionate relationships and the ambiguities of desire, exploring the behaviors of men and women confronted with romantic attachment, seduction and the contradictions of their own feelings - Behind the apparent simplicity of the gesture suggested by the title, a much more complex reflection unfolds on physical and emotional proximity, on what it means to love or be loved, and on the difficulty of distinguishing sincere desire from habit, possession, or sentimental illusion - Henry de Montherlant - Celle qu'on prend dans ses bras / Malatesta, plays in four acts - 1948 - Gallimard - 241 Pages.
