MORAND, Paul. [Reunion of 3 volumes : 1) Bouddha vivant, Paris : Grasset, 1927. In-12 of 247 p. Paperback, double cover. Nice copy. One of 170 numbered copies on vellum pur fil (n°LXXVI). Double paper cover. N°2 of the collection Les Cahiers Verts. 2) La route des Indes, Paris : Plon, 1936. In-12 of 353 p., folding map. Paperback, printed dust jacket. Nice copy, uncut. Fans of Morand consider this account, published in 1936 and never republished, as one of the best ever written on the subject. "The road to India, Paul Morand reminds us here, is not only a fabulous itinerary winding from Venice to Alexandria, or from Akaba to Aden; it is a myth as old as the voyage itself. [...] Even today, does not the evocation of the road to India constitute an irresistible call to leave? It is this magnificent journey that Paul Morand, one of our greatest travel writers, reconstructs and recounts here with a sparkling talent and a never-failing invention. To do this, he makes the most of six or seven peregrinations in "The Levant and the Orient, by liner or plane, by car or flying boat, by railroad or yacht." (cf. Presentation by the publisher, Arléa, 1989). 3) Bug O'Shea. Drawings by Louis Icart, Paris: Deglaude, 1936. In-8 of 87 pp. Paperback. Very good condition.
