Set of 4 volumes – Complete Plays by Édouard Pailleron –
PUL377
This set includes the four volumes of the Complete Plays by Édouard Pailleron, member of the Académie Française and a prominent figure of late 19th-century French theatre.
Published by Calmann-Lévy, these editions bear no printed date — a common feature of the publisher’s long-running series — and were likely bound for a private collection, as suggested by their uniform light brown leather covers.
Pailleron, known for his sharp portraits of bourgeois society, gathered here his most notable works, including Le Monde où l’on s’ennuie, first performed at the Comédie-Française in 1881.
A refined and coherent ensemble, from a time when literature preferred to dress in leather and discretion.
