‎Lettre autographe signée‎

‎Grandcamp-les-Bains Grandcamp-Maisy 1914. Fine. Grandcamp-les-Bains Grandcamp-Maisy s. d. ca 1914-1920 13.50 x 21 cm une page sur un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed addressed to a correspondent whom we have not been able to identify. Written from the Grand Hôtel de Grandcamp-les-Bains Calvados in blue ink on a folded sheet of white paper. A transverse fold inherent to the posting of the letter and four small perforations affecting the text but not impeding its reading. The mention of Grandcamp-les-Bains - where Aragon seems to have been only once during the summer of his seventeenth year - and the signature - of an early form - lead us to think that the letter could have been written in the summer of 1914. Philippe Forest in his biography of Aragon confirms that it was indeed at Grandcamp-les-Bains where his family had rented fifty rooms in a large seaside hotel to accommodate family and friends that the future poet learned the news of mobilization. The handwriting less rounded than on manuscripts prior to the 1920s however seems to us later and we are therefore not in a position to confirm the date of 1914. unknown‎

‎Louis ARAGON - (Marceline DESBORDES-VALMORE)‎

‎Manuscrit original sur ""L'Atelier d'un peintre"" ""qui fait grincer les dents existentialistes""‎

‎1950. Fine. It has to be said that we are publishing here this masterpiece deliberately ignored by those who write literary history and which makes existentialist teeth grind or simply spoilt teeth as an example sure that it will not be in vain. s. d. circa 1950 21 x 30 cm une page sur un feuillet Autograph manuscript by Louis Aragon one page in blue ink on a leaf. Precious study by Louis Aragon accompanying the serial publication in Les Lettres Françaises of Marceline Desbordes-Valmore's novel L'Atelier d'un peintre 1833. Aragon rehabilitates the female poet-novelist canceled from the history of literature and snubbed by Existentialists placing her in the tradition of socialist realism. Autograph manuscript by Louis Aragon one page in blue ink on one leaf. Numerous crossed out words and rewritings. Slight rusting due to a paper clip slight shadows of an ink transfer from another page. Published in Les Lettres Françaises episode 16 23 February 1950. In 1949 Aragon chose to publish 'L'Atelier d'un peintre' serially with his own comments. The Cold War made socialist realism the official literary genre for Communist cultural policy: 'For Aragon reading Marceline Desbordes-Valmore is above all reading the history of a generation of a people. More precisely he made Marceline an incarnation of the unfinished Republic of a world still under construction and one that was tending towards freedom. To understand Marceline Aragon invites us to 'date her writings' and not be content to confine her to a single period of her life but to try to find an explanation for her stances which were as different as the regimes during the gestation of the Republic in the nineteenth century'. Aghbarian Lina 'Aragon éditeur de Marceline Desbordes-Valmore' Recherches croisées Aragon - Elsa Triolet no. 14. Of all his comments accompanying 'L'Atelier d'un peintre' this is one of his most polemical: Aragon opposes the Surrealists by contesting Lautréamont's distate of the Romantics with whom Desbordes-Valmore was associated. The writer criticizes the hasty rejection of her work which nevertheless has counterparts in modern literature: 'The Atelier that Aragon reopens with the publication of this novel to rework it to reveal it to give it a second life closer to his own concerns after having disentangled it from its time and emptied it of its Romantic religiosity to lay bare its richness which lies in the feminist cause defended by Marceline Desbordes-Valmore . . For her Ondine the literary character was a transposition of the missing child her son the son of Henri de Latouche her lover. Ondine is thus three times hybrid androgynous real and imaginary daughter and mother at the same time and Léonard her inverted double the one she would have liked to be in order to succeed in the forbidden world of painting. Aragon doubles androgyny with homosexuality as seen in Yorick's phrase 'Talma doubles my existence'. Among other allusions he refers to Henri Miller's Sexus an allusion is made about this work in this manuscript Aragon cultivates the theme of duality on which the whole novel is built. Without abandoning the imaginary world of the novel he seeks to bring out the realistic side of this romantic novel hidden in the shadow of the lyrical novel. In a word Aragon reverses the order of the foreground and background: the romanticism of Marceline Desbordes-Valmore's novel becomes secondary and the historical background takes precedence' ibid. 'We have now come to the night scene in the Place Vendôme which is one of the most intense the most beautiful minutes of the novel of the other century. I know that not everyone will agree. It's come to my attention that there are people who are superbly distracted from L'Atelier d'un peintre and find it wrong that we should publish a story in which there is absolutely nothing of what THEY are looking for in novels and it's possible that those who c unknown‎

‎The Peasant of Paris‎

‎Just twenty eight when Louis Aragon wrote this magical novel he compares a poet's love for his city to a peasant's love for his land. A leading Surrealist writer Aragon was keenly aware of the hidden life concealed by every object great and small. The Peasant of Paris combines minute descriptions of scenes and objects humorous anecdotes and philosophical reflections: all to create a reality that goes far beyond the literal or visual. Another love affair with Paris: that of the renowned artist and photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson who chose this book to illustrate with seven enchanting lithographs of Paris and a photogravure portrait of Louis Aragon.<br />Seven lithographs and a photogravure by Henri Cartier-Bresson.<br />Edition limited to 300 numbered copies.<br />Each signed by Henri Cartier-Bresson.<br />The text and seven lithographs are printed on mould-made paper from the Arches mill in Epinal France. The photogravure plate was made and the photogravures were editioned by Jon Goodman at his studio in Hadley Massachusetts. The book and slipcase are bound in gray-green Japanese fabric. <br />One Volume 12 x 16¼ inches. <br /><br />As the publisher we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New NOS.

‎Violent reproaches of Louis Aragon against Thomas Mann‎

‎<p><strong>ARAGON Louis 1897-1982</strong></p><p>Autograph letter signed "Aragon" to the "Red duchess" Elisabeth de Clermont-Tonnerre N.p.n.d 1950 1 p. in-4to</p><p><strong>Violent reproaches of Louis Aragon against Thomas Mann – The poet explains his hostility to the idea of meeting the German writer then on an official visit to Paris</strong></p><p><em>" <strong>Excusez-moi Madame de ne pas vouloir déjeuner avec Thomas Mann dont la conduite pendant la guerre le pacifisme d'entre deux guerres et la signature au bas de l'ignoble manifeste contre les exécutions en Russie ne peuvent pas me rendre plus aimable la détestable littérature. </strong></em> <em>Très respectueusement</em> <em>Aragon "</em></p><p><strong>Thomas Mann officially received in Paris in May 1950</strong></p><p>At the beginning of May 1950 Thomas Mann had begun a European lecture tour. On May 12 he arrived in Paris accompanied by his wife Katia. At the "Ritz" where his French publishing house has booked a suite they receive a very warm welcome. If during his stay in Paris which must have lasted a few days Thomas Mann could not see André Gide himself he spoke with Jean Schlumberger who had created with Gide La Nouvelle Revue Française. In the quick note he wrote for the bookseller Martin Flinker Mann mentions the "incredible beauty" of the capital of France and a French civilization at the "forefront of progress"… while confiding to his Journal his great fatigue and the aversion he felt for "the French linguistic sphere". He is indeed irritated by interviews that he considers malicious – such as that of Dominique Arban for Le Figaro who asks the author of Doctor Faustus if judging by his book it is possible to imagine a new Germany in which would have disappeared "the vertigo of obedience and blood". The interviewers' reminder of Paul Olberg's letter published in the Swiss newspaper Volksrecht also disturbs him to the highest degree. The Swedish journalist had indeed asked Thomas Mann how "he who had fought without concession Nazi Germany had been able to accept in 1949 the invitation of a regime that of the GDR which trampled underfoot with the same brutality freedom and humanity".</p><p><strong>Thomas Mann sensitive to communist propaganda</strong></p><p>At the end of the Second World War – after the election in 1945 of Harry Truman as President of the United States and until 1949 – Thomas Mann was sensitive like many intellectuals of the time to stalinist propaganda that presented the United States as an imperialist power ready to trigger a new conflict – and the USSR as concerned only with peace and the happiness of the peoples. Thus in March 1949 he supported the initiative of Harvard professor Harlow Shapley to convene in New York a world peace conference – directed against the Atlantic Pact finally signed on April 4 1949 – in which 24 delegates from communist countries participated in which Thomas Mann saw only "pure idealists". He telegraphed Dean Acheson the U.S. Secretary of State and father of the Marshall Plan to reconsider his ban on allowing other delegates from communist countries to enter American territory. Silent about the deportations and mass executions ordered by Stalin he does not miss an opportunity to protest against McCarthyism and "anti-communist hysteria" driven to this by his son Klaus and daughter Erika.</p><p>Thomas Mann still enthusiastically accepted the invitations – issued by the newly formed Federal Republic and the other part of Germany that would proclaim itself the "Democratic Republic" – to preside over the ceremonies given in July/August 1949 for the bicentenary of Goethe's birth first in Frankfurt West and Weimar East. Flattered by the honors that are rendered he wants to believe that it is only literature and does not want to see the instrumentalization to which he is the object of the communist leaders.</p><p><strong>Thomas Mann disappoints the Communists and abjures politics</strong></p><p>But soon after sensitive to criticism and becoming more far-sighted he refused to participate in the "World Congress of Supporters of Peace" which took place in Paris from 20 to 23 April 1949 under the patronage of Picasso with his famous "dove" and <strong>Aragon</strong>.</p><p><strong>Louis Aragon</strong>'s refusal to see Thomas Mann on the occasion of his official visit to Paris in May 1950 was thus explained by the hope aroused in the communist camp by some of his statements. The most prestigious German writer of the time an emeritus fighter of fascism since his American exile fundamentally hostile to the western part of Germany which he thought had not really got rid of Nazism represented a vector of propaganda of the highest order for the ideologues of communism. The spite felt by <strong>Louis Aragon</strong> and others following the defection of Thomas Mann is commensurate with their disappointment.</p><p>The many criticisms that Thomas Mann unleashed in the West helped to make him fully aware of the role that was intended to make him assume; this is how he declined the invitation to the 2nd Peace Congress organized in London from 13 to 19 November 1950. The English government banned Pierre Cot and Louis Aragon from entering British territory. The non-admitted delegates finally met in Warsaw. The organizers claim to have received a message of encouragement from Thomas Mann and even to have elected him to the office of the organization – which he firmly denies. In a scathing denial Thomas Mann says "he no longer wants to do anything with politics". All relations are permanently cut off.</p>‎
