‎Affiche originale - ""On ne nourrit pas un village avec des ordures"" placardée à Céreste. • Original poster ""One does not feed a village with garbage""‎

‎Forcalquier: Imprimerie Nouvelle 1945. Fine. The ""Céreste Affair"" by Colonel ALEXANDRE Imprimerie Nouvelle Forcalquier s.d. 12 janvier 1946 30.90 x 42.20 cm une feuille ""For a few months now we have been witnessing a regularised passive hunt for patriots too highly noticed it seems at a time when risking their own life and that of their family's was not a shopfront item. The odious thing about this way of acting is that it is strangely reminiscent of the Hitlerians. We dishonour then we wait and see. Regardless of the esteem in which a person is regarded a police visit always leaves a hint of ambiguity it is believed. Vigilance more than ever solidarity.” 7 December 1945 addressed by René Char to Francis Ponge   The first and only edition of this legendary “Céreste Affair” poster printed by René Char with a very few copies and posted in the small village of Céreste the heart of his resistance network. Paper slightly yellowed some small marginal tears not affecting the text.  Extremely rare this poster is absent from all institutions and auction houses. The Bibliothèque Nationale de France itself only has a reproduction offered by Pierre-André Benoit. The famous placard marks the end of the loving and combative relationship between René Char and the village of Céreste which was nevertheless Captain Alexandre's HQ and the birthplace of one of his most moving romantic adventures with his lover nicknamed “la Renarde” the Vixen. It is in fact to this isolated Haute Provence village that René Char moves to organise his Resistance network the S. A. P. Section Atterrissage Parachutage responsible for recovering the deliveries of parachuted weapons in the Low Alps and redistributing them to the Maquis. Being a faithful guest in Céreste since 1936 René Char was able to quickly unite the villagers and even the gendarmes who would protect him and help him build his network.   Forewarned the Nazis sent a company of SS to Céreste to flush him out raiding all of the houses and violently interrogating the villagers who all knew Char and his lover with whom he was staying. The heroic reaction of the villagers had a lasting effect on René Char who composed in their honour one of the longest and most beautiful pages of Hypnos: “the village was besieged gagged hypnotized completely brought to a standstill. Two companies of SS and a detachment of militia held it under the muzzle of their machine-guns and mortars. Then began the ordeal. The inhabitants were tossed out of their houses and summoned to assemble in the central square. . Marcelle had come to my shutter to whisper the word to me. . Blows reached me punctuated by curses. The SS had surprised a young mason who was coming back from retrieving some traps. His fright set him up for their tortures. A voice bent over the swollen body shouting: “Where is he Show us” followed by silence. And kicks and riflebutts raining. . Then there appeared rushing from each street a flood of women children old men going to the place of assembly according to a concerted plan. They hurried without haste literally streaming over the SS paralyzing them “in all good faith”. . Furious the patrol ploughed its way through the crowd and made further off. With an infinite prudence now some anxious and kindly eyes looked in my direction passed like a flashing lamp on my window. I half revealed myself and a smile broke from my pallor. I held to these people by a thousand confident threads of which not one would break. I loved my kind wildly that day well beyond sacrifice.”   A fusional relationship unites the poet and his adopted village and for René Char in the context of Nazi hate and violence Céreste represents the living symbol of the humanist values to be defended and the necessity of his fight. This passion found its incarnation in his Céreste lover: “Marcelle Sidoine  becomes for him the very image of Céreste of this new country in which he digs his mine and intends to bury the galleries fr Imprimerie Nouvelle unknown‎
