About This Item
Paris: Gallimard, 1980. First French edition of what many consider the author's breakthrough novel. Octavo, original wrappers. Signed by J.M.G. Le Clezio on the title page. In very good condition with some shelf wear and toning to the extremities. In its citation, The Nobel Committee singled out Desert stating, "This work contains magnificent images of a lost culture in the North African desert, contrasted with a depiction of Europe seen through the eyes of unwanted immigrants. The main character is a utopian antithesis to the ugliness and brutality of European society."
