Forse che si forse que no. (With a letter by the author).
Forse che si forse que no. Roman traduit de l'italien par Donatella Cross. (With a handwritten, signed letter by the author to Jane Catulle Mendès).
Paris, Calmann-Lévy, 1910. Contemporary binding in full snake leather!! Cover included. (8), 484 p. This is one of 60 large paper copies on Hollande. Édition originale. Pasted in is a letter by the author ('Pneumatique') to Jane Catulle Mendès, the widow of Catulle Mendès, written on paper with printed heading of the Hôtel Meurice. The envelope (also of the Hôtel Meurice) is present, too.
The letter dates from 1910. It's about an appointment that went wrong, but the tone is a bit over the top: 'Madame, veuilllez m'infliger le châtiment le plus cruel'. Catulle and Jane both published a number of poems in Marinetti's famous magazine Poesia, like D'Annunzio did, too.
"Maybe yes, maybe no". This novel is set in the nascent world of aviation, the days of daredevil heroes that vanquished gravity with speed. Flying is the counterpoint, but love between a couple and three siblings the melody. It ends helter-skelter with blood and drama.
