The volume presents, in an appendix, the first publication in English of any extensive selection from Valéry’s personal notebooks--the Cahiers.Originally published in 1968.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
