Bøker av Paul Morand

In 1927, Paul Morand -- a French diplomat and noted European author -- made two extended trips to the Caribbean, Latin America and the American South. Published in 1929, his travel account begins as a diary about his experience of Venezuela, Curacao, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Haiti, Trinidad, Jamaica and Cuba and ends with a lengthy essay on Mexico.

The present volume contains the complete text of Pound's translations, consisting of Morand's two best-known collections: Fancy Goods (Tendres Stocks, 1921) and Open All Night (Ouvert la Nuti, 1922), as well as the preface to the earlier of the two books by Marcel Proust, which set a seal of approval upon the younger generation of French writers.
