Description: RAMBLES WITH ANATOLE FRANCE Written by Sandor Kemeri (Mme. Georges Boloni) and translated by Emil Lengyel. Published by J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. Copyright 1926; the date 1926 is on the title page and “First Edition” is stated on the copyright page. France won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1921. This book is a rather fawning recounting of conversations and experiences with France during a trip to Italy around 1910-11, shortly after the death of his muse and lover Madame Arman de Caillavet. Sandor Kemeri was a Hungarian newpaper correspondent who became his friend, secretary, and traveling partner, also helping him recover from his grief. There are 27 black and white photo illustration plates including the frontispiece—all are present. From Wikipedia: Anatole France (born François-Anatole Thibault; 16 April 1844 – 12 October 1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament".
