Olympic Games/ Coubertin Pierre de (1863-1937) - Lot 158
Olympic Games/ Coubertin Pierre de (1863-1937) One of the Baron's major and little-known works, perhaps because it is so rare: "Souvenirs d'Amérique et de Grèce" (detached cover). All the Baron's little-known facets are here: his fascination with a bubbling America, with its students, its exhibitions and its recent, fiery past. As for his account of Greece, it tells us about the 1896 Games from the inside by the man who reinvented them (Breal, Mauras, Didon, emerge from the corner of the marble). Exceptional. 1897, 189 pages, 18.5 x 12.5 cm
