Description

FIRST EDITION.

ONE OF THE FIRST 26 NUMBERED COPIES ON HOLLANDEfollowed by 36 copies on Arches vellum.

"This is not quite an essay, not quite an attempt to understand some mysteries, or to forge some myths. This is a story, written on several Italian school notebooks, at the same time as, in a different way, and on sheets of 21 x 27 machine paper, the sentences of Mondo and other stories.
It's a long story, which could be the story of a bird, a fish or a tree, because it talks a lot about the sky, the sea and the earth where the roots grow. At the end of this story, nothing, or almost nothing, has changed. But it's like a very long day that has gone by, from the first hour of dawn to nightfall.
Perhaps this is also, quite simply, the story of an unknown little boy who wanders at random on the land, not far from the sea, a little lost in the clouds - and who loves the extreme light of day".

Nice uncut copy.
