Julian Green

To Leave Before Dawn Julian Green Illustrated edition

Julien Green's fame rests principally not only on his novels and for being the first American inductee to the Acadamie Francaise, but on his journals, published in ten volumes, and spanning the years 1926-1976, providing a chronicle of his literary and religious life. To Leave Before Dawn is also an autobiographical volume, and a unique window on the artistic and literary scene in Paris over a span of half a century.
