[Paris], nos. 1 and 2, June and July 1944; Paris, Éditions de la Jeune Parque, new series, nos. 1 to 6, December 1944 – April 1945.

2 booklets (105 x 135 mm), 16 and 16 pp.; then 5 vols. (130 x 185 mm), 82, 87, 83, 85 and 140 pp. In wrappers.

Complete set of this important review, founded clandestinely by Paul Éluard. The first two issues, published clandestinely, are particularly rare.

Printed on the model of the reviews and leaflets dropped by the Royal Air Force over occupied France, in the same format as the pamphlet Poésie et Vérité 1942 and the Revue du monde libre, the first two clandestine issues, sixteen pages each, gather poems and texts, most published under pseudonyms, by Gabriel Audisio (Chems-El-Kraha), Jean Bruller (Vercors), Paul Éluard (Jean du Haut), André Frénaud (Benjamin Phélisse), Georges Hugnet (Malo Lebleu), Michel Leiris (Hugo Vic), Jean Lescure (Jean Delamaille), Louis Parrot (Margeride), Jean Paulhan (Juste), Pierre Seghers (Louis Maste), Lucien Scheler (Jean-Paul Mazurier), Jean Tardieu (Daniel Trévoux) and Édith Thomas (Anne).

Éluard revived the review openly after the Liberation, in a new format, under the auspices of the Éditions de la Jeune Parque, with the double motto “Une Revue qui est de son temps comme on est d’un parti. Une Revue qui est française comme on est universel.”
