REBATET (Lucien) - The Devil at the Hotel Matignon. Paris, Literary Edition of France, around 1930; in-4, 30 pp., paperback, folded cover. Lucien-Romain Rebatet (November 15, 1903, Moras-en-Valloire, Drôme-August 24, 1972, id.) is a French writer, journalist and music and film critic. Having started at "Action française", he then joined "I'm everywhere" which claims fascism; in 1942, under the Occupation, he published "Les Déombres", a ferocious anti-Semitic and collaborationist pamphlet. Sentenced to death at the Liberation, then pardoned, he remained in prison until 1952. He then abandoned the controversy, devoting himself to his career as a writer by publishing his major work, "Les Deux Étendards", in 1951. With the illustrations by Ralph Soupault. Caricatural publication that is both anti-Semitic and anti-parliamentary.
