Richard-E. Knowles、Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin･･･

This is a rare first edition (April 1954) of Victor-Émile Michelet, poète ésotérique by Richard-E. Knowles, published by the respected Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin in Paris. The main attraction of this copy is the original preface by Gaston Bachelard. Written in 1954, shortly before The Poetics of Space, it explores how Michelet’s esoteric imagery moves beyond superstition and becomes a form of poetic truth. For readers and collectors of Bachelard, this is an important document from his mature poetic period. Victor-Émile Michelet (1861–1938) was a major figure in the French occult revival and a key member of the early Martinist Order. This book is the standard scholarly biography, tracing his role in shaping Martinist traditions into the modern era. Good vintage ex-library copy with red Japanese university stamps. Original cream wrappers with light tanning and mild wear. Clean, age-toned interior and solid binding.
