Softcover. First edition, Alfa paper issue, limited to 990 numbered copies. Octavo. 300pp. Printed wrappers. A fine, bright, partially unopened copy. *Les Jeunes Filles* is the first novel in a series of four separate novels published between 1936 and 1939. From Cyril Connolly's *The Modern Movement: One Hundred Key Books from England, France and America, 1880-1950*: "These four brilliant novels in which the narrator is a typical cad-artist of the between-war vintage, are written in Montherlant's pellucid and crisp style and provoked some strong feminine reactions, culminating in Simone de Beauvoir's *Deuxieme Sexe*."
