"Aujourd'hui après une journée qui a déjà duré 11 h je n'ai fumé qu'un demi paquet de cigarettes."" • Signed autograph card addressed to Georges Louis
Paris 1897. Fine. Paris s. d. après 1897 13.80 x 9 cm une carte autographe recto et verso Autograph card by Pierre Louÿs signed with his initial addressed to Georges Louis and written in violet ink on both sides. Note addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father. The question of Pierre Louÿs's real paternal identity still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after giving him two children Lucie and Georges. In 1855 he remarried Claire Céline Maldan and from this union was born in 1857 a son Paul; then in 1870 our writer who received the given names Pierre Félix. This late birth the differences in character between father and son the former's disaffection toward the latter the profound intimacy that always reigned between Louÿs and his brother Georges all this has led certain biographers and critics to suspect that the latter was in reality the writer's father. The exceptionally intimate and constant relationship that Pierre and Georges maintained between themselves throughout their lives could be an argument in this direction. Of course no irrefutable proof has been discovered and probably never will be. Nevertheless certain letters . are quite troubling. In 1895 for example Louÿs writes seriously to his brother that he knows the answer to 'the most poignant question' he could ask him a question he has had 'on his lips for ten years.' The following year in the full triumph of Aphrodite he thanks Georges effusively and ends his letter with this sentence: 'Not one of my friends has a FATHER who is for him what you are for me.' Arguing from the close intimacy of Georges and Claire Céline during the year 1870 and the jealousy that the father never ceased to show toward his younger son Claude Farrère did not hesitate to conclude in favor of Georges Louis. And what to think of this dedication by Louÿs to his brother on a Japan paper copy of the first edition of Pausole: To Georges his eldest son / Pierre."" Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs Pierre Louÿs revolutionizes his living conditions: ""I am taking serious care of myself. For two days now I have been going to bed at half past midnight to wake up between 9 and 10. Today after a day that has already lasted 11 hours I have only smoked half a pack of cigarettes. That's a quarter of my usual consumption during the same time. Moreover I walked more than a league on foot I took the air as much as I could.Well with all that I feel quite unwell or rather as if I were the day after a long and serious illness. Neither strength nor nerves. I have trouble listening speaking following an idea. Should this be attributed to my cigarette rationing It's possible. But honestly I don't think I have felt so low since '97 since the month when you came to see me in Algiers."" Amusing note from the most tobacco-addicted of writers nearly 60 cigarettes per day.! who wrote in Une volupté nouvelle: ""One night as I found myself there in silent conversation with two blue porcelain cats crouched on a white table I hesitated to choose between two pastimes of solitude: write a regular sonnet while smoking cigarettes or smoke cigarettes while looking at the ceiling carpet. The important thing is to always have a cigarette in hand; one must envelop objects in a celestial and fine cloud that bathes lights and shadows erases material angles and by a perfumed spell imposes on the agitated mind a variable balance from which it can fall into reverie."" unknown

"C'est à cela seul que je dois mon indépendance littéraire et cette inestimable liberté du silence qui n'est pas l'idéal de tous mais qui me paraît être le bonheur du poëte."" • Important signed autograph letter addressed to Alfred Vallette about the unexpected success of his Aphrodite
Paris 1896. Fine. Paris 1896 13 x 20.50 cm 3 pages sur un double feuillet Autograph letter signed by Pierre Louÿs addressed to his publisher Alfred Vallette 50 lines written in purple ink on a double sheet. Pierre Louÿs responds to his friend and publisher Alfred Vallette after a controversy launched by a journalist from Comoedia a controversy that could damage their friendship: ""Je ne suis pour rien dans l'écho publié par Comoedia. Mais ce que vous en citez suffit à me montrer que le rédacteur s'est mal informé."" ""I had nothing to do with the piece published by Comoedia. But what you quote from it is enough to show me that the writer was misinformed."" and he intends to remind him that they had not been able to agree on the publishing terms for Aphrodite and that he envisioned only a confidential distribution for his latest book: ""L'histoire de notre édition est très simple. Vous m'avez proposé un traité que je n'ai pas trouvé bon ; j'ai préféré le ""compte d'auteur"" et je ne peux pas vous accuser d'avoir mal prévu le succès du livre puisque moi-même j'avais écrit mon roman pour vingt amis et quelques inconnus."" ""The story of our edition is very simple. You offered me a contract that I did not find good; I preferred the 'author's account' and I cannot accuse you of having poorly predicted the book's success since I myself had written my novel for twenty friends and a few strangers."" This is why the father of Aphrodite is astonished by the triumph achieved by the work: ""Si une diseuse de bonne aventure nous avait prédit alors qu'Aphrodite dépasserait un jour le 300e mille nous l'aurions traitée comme une pauvre folle."" ""If a fortune teller had predicted then that Aphrodite would one day exceed 300000 copies we would have treated her as a poor madwoman.""; the latter consecrating his fame and wealth in the literary world: ""J'ai en outre une seconde raison pour ne pas vous en vouloir du traité que j'ai signé avec vous : c'est qu'en préservant mes droits d'autuer sur ce roman j'ai fait sans le savoir ma fortune. C'est à cela seul que je dois mon indépendance littéraire et cette inestimable liberté du silence qui n'est pas l'idéal de tous mais qui me paraît être le bonheur du poëte."" ""I have furthermore a second reason for not resenting the contract I signed with you: it is that by preserving my author's rights on this novel I made my fortune without knowing it. It is to this alone that I owe my literary independence and this invaluable freedom of silence which is not everyone's ideal but which seems to me to be the poet's happiness."" Very fine autograph on Pierre Louÿs's literary triumph. unknown

"Edison est en France."" • Signed autograph letter addressed to Georges Louis
Paris 1911. Fine. Paris Lundi 11 septembre 1911 13.50 x 18 cm 5 pages sur un double feuillet et un feuillet libre Autograph letter signed by Pierre Louÿs addressed to Georges Louis. Five pages written in violet ink on a double leaf and a loose leaf. A press article pasted on the recto of the single leaf. Transverse creases inherent to posting. Fine letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father. The question of the real identity of Pierre Louÿs's father still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after giving him two children Lucie and Georges.

Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs Pierre Louÿs comments in this letter on Thomas Edison's visit to Paris: ""Edison is in France. Toward the end of last month a journalist questioned him. I regret not having kept the article."" The writer then launches into a true dialogue from his memories of said article paraphrasing the inventor in the manner of a witness who himself attended the interview: ""To the simple question ""Are you pleased with your trip"" Edison answered with amiable phrases and immediately on his own he brought the conversation to the subjects: Monoplane. War. He said I only repeat from memory the sense of what I read: He said in substance: ""You are not yet enthusiastic enough about the value of your new weapon: it is formidable. You take aeroplanes for scouts. Say first: combatants. From the heights where the monoplane evolves easily today there is an effective military power but especially an incalculable moral power."" He explained himself thus: ""Give grenades to an aviator who will drop them. Even if they are not very dangerous even if they rarely hit their target the entire enemy army will scatter like a flock of sheep under the flight of the eagle. Five six grenades falling from the sky will provoke panic terror. Nothing is frightening for a crowd like a peril that comes from above."" "" This ""remarkable interview"" related by the writer who finds that ""the theory is correct"" underlines the visionary character of Edison who seems here to relate the facts of the coming First World War. The erudite Pierre Louÿs illuminates this theory of ""Edison the prophet"" with his classical culture: ""It agrees with the old phrases about the limits of b unknown

Four pages written in blue ink on a double sheet. Envelope enclosed bearing on the verso the intact wax seal with the writer's cipher. Transverse fold inherent to the mailing. Important letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father. The question of the real identity of Pierre Louÿs' father still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after giving him two children Lucie and Georges.

Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs As attested by the enclosed envelope Pierre Louÿs sends this letter to his brother while the latter is exercising the function of France's delegate to the International Commission of Egyptian Debt and is in Cairo. Like a good socialite Pierre tells his brother about his new encounters: ""I met yesterday at a friend's house one of the sons of your minister Marcellin Berthelot. I have known all four of them for a long time but I see little of them. One of them André is a friend of Henri Mougeot with whom he has rented along with two or three other young men a house in Chevreuse and a mistress in Paris. . The other Daniel is a professor at the School of Pharmacy. A remarkable chemist they say. Philippe does nothing special . Finally René the youngest is Blum's oldest friend and his great rival of former times in the general competition. . It is Philippe who formed five or six years ago with Léon Daudet and Georges Hugo such a famous trinity. He is also known for having written a sonnet containing six rhymes in omphe which stupefied Heredia."" But these worldly matters do not distance Pierre Louÿs from literature. Indeed his first novel entitled Aphrodite is about to appear and he wonders to whom he could dedicate it. He first thought of José Maria de Heredia but. ""H. refuses . the dedication of Aphr. because he still has two daughters to marry. I myself had put a thousand reservations in my offer and his response after all is not unobliging. I know on the other hand that he repeats before strangers and indifferent persons everything he told me about the book and in the same hyperbolic terms. Finally he gave me unknown

Handsome letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father.

Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs This letter was written after the First World War: ""The project to open the Panthéon to heroes who offered everything to the Fatherland even losing their name for her is excellent. And it would be for the archbishopric of Paris an unhoped-for opportunity to spontaneously render to our great dead of the crypt the respects that it alone in the world denies them. It would thus repair an error that has lasted too long for its glory. Cemeteries are deconsecrated. No theological reason can attribute to them a more religious character than to the basement of a monument surmounted by a colossal cross and sanctified by ashes."" Indeed in November 1920 Charles Dumont the general budget reporter expressed his wish to bring the unknown soldier into the Panthéon. Finally only the ceremony took place there and the remains of the most famous of the combatants remained as everyone knows under the Arc de Triomphe. The only soldier to join the Panthéon Maurice Genevoix would not enter until a hundred years later on November 11 2020. Louÿs concludes his letter with a very handsome tribute to the writer he has always admired: ""One is ill-advised to forbid the faithful such a pilgrimage. They do it.

"Mallarmé m'a écrit des choses pompeuses sur Lêda."" • Signed autograph letter
Paris 1893. Fine. Paris 1893 13.50 x 14.50 cm quatre pages sur un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed by Pierre Louÿs dated Christmas 1893 addressed to Georges Louis. Four pages written in blue ink on a double blue sheet bearing the writer’s initials and headed 49 rue Vineuse. A fine letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a deeply intimate relationship and whom he regarded as his own father. The question of Pierre Louÿs’s true parentage continues to fascinate biographers: “His father Pierre Philippe Louis . married Jeanne Constance Blanchin in 1842; she died ten years later having borne him two children Lucie and Georges. In 1855 he married Claire Céline Maldan and from this union was born in 1857 a son Paul; then in 1870 our writer who received the given names Pierre Félix. This late birth the differences in temperament between father and son the father’s indifference toward the latter and the profound intimacy that always united Louÿs and his brother Georges—all of this has led some biographers and critics to suspect that Georges was in fact the writer’s father. The exceptionally close and lifelong bond between Pierre and Georges might well support such an argument. Of course no conclusive proof has ever been found and doubtless never will be. Still certain letters . are quite troubling. In 1895 for example Louÿs gravely wrote to his brother that he knew the answer to ‘the most painful question’ he could ever put to him a question that had been ‘on his lips for ten years.’ The following year at the height of Aphrodite’s success he thanked Georges effusively and closed his letter with these words: ‘Pas un de mes amis n'a un PERE qui soit pour lui comme tu es pour moi.’ Arguing from the close relationship between Georges and Claire Céline in 1870 and from the jealousy the father continually displayed toward his younger son Claude Farrère did not hesitate to side with Georges Louis. And what are we to make of this dedication by Louÿs to his brother in a copy on japon of the original Pausole: Pour Georges son fils aîné / Pierre.” Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs Pierre Louÿs sent this letter to his brother when the latter had just taken up his post as France’s delegate to the International Commission of the Egyptian Debt and was in Cairo: “La lettre où tu me demandais d'acheter un cadeau de jour de l'an m'est arrivée trop tard vingt quatre heures pour que je puisse l'envoyer à temps. J'espère que tu auras pu trouver quelque chose là -bas.” Lacking a gift Pierre sent his brother a portrait of himself: “En même temps que ma dernière lettre j'ai mis à la poste pour toi une photo du photographe ordinaire de Jane Hading et qui représente un Pierre posthume et sentimental assez ressemblant tout de même. L'épreuve n'était pas très propre mais c'était la seule que j'eusse encore reçue.” Only a handful of photographic portraits of the writer are known today and we have been unable to identify the photograph mentioned here. The year 1893 marked several literary successes for Pierre Louÿs who until then had published only Astarté at his own expense in 1891 and together with his friend from the École Alsacienne André Gide and Paul Valéry had founded La Conque an ‘anthology of the youngest poets’ whose first issue appeared on 15 March 1891. In quick succession came Chrysis ou la cérémonie matinale the translation of the Poésies de Méléagre and finally Lêda ou la louange des bienheureux ténèbres. The latter work is even mentioned in this letter: “Mallarmé m'a écrit des choses pompeuses sur Lêda; mais de sa part cela ne signifie rien.” Louÿs had been acquainted with Mallarmé since the early 1890s and met many leading figures at his celebrated ‘Tuesdays’ among them Henri de Régnier. Deeply admiring the verses of the Symbolist master whom he considered ‘the supreme incarnation of the artist one who has sacrificed everything to his ideal’ Ibid. Louÿs se unknown

Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs Written from Tamaris where the writer is on vacation and attempting to buy Psyché this fine letter forms a veritable ode to literature and bibliophilia. Louÿs ""fills two pages of letter on this question"" and indeed writes: ""When I leave I always lock everything up so that my maids don't browse through my books in my absence which would be disastrous. I unfortunately have book titles that could sometimes tempt them. . What to do Leave you the keys I would certainly do so if I were leaving for six months but for a short absence. . I don't have duplicates and . the key to my study locks up my desk which is the soul of the house."" Georges very quickly transmitted to his brother the love of books and texts and the latter recalls here this profound spiritual communion: ""When I look at my library I constantly regret that you don't benefit from it more. I would always like to unite it with yours and that the day when your life is free you would only have to leave your bedroom to take from my place what you desire."" Although happy to take some leave he misses his brother: ""That's somewhat what prevents me from loving Biarritz it's that I see there a threat of such complete separation for us both. . I couldn't follow you there and I would only see you one or two months a year; that frightens me. My wish would be that we choose two small adjoining houses near Paris. . But it's not time to speak of it."" This sentimental reverie of a future together quickly gives way to a long passage concerning international politics and the game of European alliances. Georges is then Director of Political Affairs at the Quai d'Orsay and the two brothers naturally discuss this subject: ""The circle of alliances built in recent unknown

Fine letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father.

Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs In this interesting letter Louÿs discusses at length the difficulty writers face in living by their pen. Titling his missive ""Continuation of our conversation about war and literature"" he first makes a very pessimistic observation: ""In the 16th century It was even worse! In the 16th the independent man of letters did not exist at all - to write one needed an office a benefice - or land and income rare fortune among writers. . It is only in the 19th century that we find a very small number of conscientious writers living by their pen. And even then. Do you want to count them Hugo almost alone succeeds. Lamartine fails and is obliged to beg pitifully at the end of his life. Gautier who had magnificent gifts only subsists by writing in newspapers . you see what I mean: Theatre and Journal."" He continues: ""That works well in peacetime. - In 1890 l'Echo de Paris inserted prose poems in the first column. - In ""date illegible because crossed out ""le Figaro had a literary supplement. . But in wartime in this century and ten twelve or fifteen years after the war we shall go to the woods no more; the laurels are cut down. Oh! In 1930 it will doubtless be very different; but I shall be 60 in fifteen years; and I worry first about 1917; even about 1916."" This very pessimistic letter was written at a period when Louÿs was at his worst ""The man who wrote these pages was a solitary man reclusive sick drugged surrounded by dubious creatures and having as confidant only this adored brother who would die less than a year later.""

This is very likely one of Pierre Louÿs's last letters to his father ten days before the latter's death: ""Do you know that in less than two weeks I will be beside you . May I hope that by then you will have regained some strength"" The question of Pierre Louÿs's real paternal identity still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after giving him two children Lucie and Georges.

Of course no irrefutable proof has been discovered and none will probably ever be discovered. Nevertheless certain letters . are quite troubling. In 1895 for example Louÿs writes seriously to his brother that he knows the answer to 'the most poignant question' he could ask him a question he has had 'on his lips for ten years.' The following year in the midst of Aphrodite's triumph he thanks Georges effusively and ends his letter with this sentence: 'Not one of my friends has a FATHER who is to him what you are to me.' Arguing from the close intimacy of Georges and Claire Céline during the year 1870 and from the jealousy that the father never ceased to show toward his younger son Claude Farrère did not hesitate to conclude in favor of Georges Louis. And what to think of this dedication by Louÿs to his brother on a Japan paper copy of the first edition of Pausole: To Georges his eldest son / Pierre."" Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs Pierre Louÿs was only nine years old when his mother died suddenly. The father from then on entrusted his education to his brother Georges twenty years his senior and Pierre then joined him in Paris where he attended the École Alsacienne then the Janson-de-Sailly lycée. Despite the little affection shown to him the young man writes every week to his ""dear papa"" residing at Dizy-Magenta near Épernay. The young man inquires about his poor health: ""May I hope that by then you will have regained some strength No doubt. Your eczema we hope will not have worsened; and the green leaves that are beginning to appear will perhaps give you hope yourself for improvement next summer."" The ""improvement"" would sadly never come and Pierre Philippe Louis would breathe his last on April 14 1889. In the meantime Pierre Louÿs gives family news more precisely about Germaine his sister Lucie's daughter: ""Today I went to rue de la Santé to get news of Germaine. I found the little one who had been operated on in very good condition very cheerful and in good health. She was up and playing on the floor. . Finally I ended my day by going to my aunt Marie's and to Elisabeth's. Everyone is well in both houses."" As usual always anxious not to disappoint his father he finally transmits his school results: ""I return to the lycée tomorrow did Georges tell you that I was second in English"" unknown

Paris juillet 1887 11.20 x 14.20 cm une carte-lettre Autograph signed letter-card from Pierre Louÿs addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father. The question of Pierre Louÿs's real paternal identity still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after having given him two children Lucie and Georges. In 1855 he remarried Claire Céline Maldan and from this union was born in 1857 a son Paul; then in 1870 our writer who received the first names Pierre Félix.

Lettre autographe signée adressée à Georges Louis
Paris 1916. Fine. Paris 15 mai 1916 11 x 16 cm 6 pages sur un double feuillet et un feuillet simple Autograph letter from Pierre Louÿs signed with his initial addressed to Georges Louis. Six pages written in violet ink on a double leaf and a single leaf. Central creases inherent to posting. Very fine letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father. The question of the real identity of Pierre Louÿs's father still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after giving him two children Lucie and Georges. In 1855 he remarried Claire Céline Maldan and from this union was born in 1857 a son Paul; then in 1870 our writer who received the first names Pierre Félix.

And what to think of this dedication by Louÿs to his brother on a deluxe paper copy of the first edition of Pausole: For Georges his eldest son / Pierre."" Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs A true reflection on literature and the choice of words this letter was written while Pierre Louÿs was working on a work that would appear the following year: Poëtique. ""Louÿs decides . to write a Poëtique which will be like the testament of his work as well as a message to young writers. He had always reflected on poetic art and accumulated dozens of notes both on poets and on poetry itself."" Ibid. To reflect on poetic art is precisely what he does in this fine letter: ""Regarding negation I wondered why the principle I tried to establish nuance ruse or error was not classical. I believe the answer is: Chimène. - We take the word as a text to teach high school students that negation is an additional force. - Ex. ""Je ne te hais point"" ""I do not hate you"" more expressive than ""Je t'aime"" ""I love you"". But no. Rodrigue has just said: ""Votre haine"" ""Your hatred"". It is Rodrigue who imprints the image. The response ""Je ne te hais point"" ""I do not hate you"" is the passage from shadow to light: it is to speak the nuance. . It is terribly delicate to write ""ne pas"" ""not""."" Then in a period of great trouble and isolation the poet is touched by Paul Valéry's support: ""The other day I had written a long letter to Valéry about my ""Poëtique."" - He answered me immediately a letter where he began by thanking me for all that he had felt of affection for him in the very fact that I had spent part of my evening with him without his being there. I answer him in turn - as much as I remember - ""It is so rare friends who suspect affection beneath something. There are hardly more than two kinds of people: those who do not lift the stone because they are certain there is not unknown

Lettre autographe signée de 20 pages adressée à Georges Louis : ""Et j'ai une grande nouvelle à t'annoncer qui décidera du bonheur de ma vie : je me marie.""
Dizy Dizy-le-Gros 1888. Fine. Dizy Dizy-le-Gros samedi 15 septembre 1888 13.70 x 21.20 cm 20 pages sur 5 doubles feuillets & une enveloppe Very long autograph letter signed by Pierre Louÿs addressed to Georges Louis. Twenty pages written in blue ink on five double sheets of graph paper. Enclosed is an envelope on which is written in pencil in Pierre Louÿs's hand: ""Letter of 20 pages about my stay in Limé"" Amusing letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father. The question of Pierre Louÿs's real father's identity still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after having given him two children Lucie and Georges. In 1855 he remarried Claire Céline Maldan and from this union was born in 1857 a son Paul; then in 1870 our writer who received the first names Pierre Félix.

The exceptionally intimate and constant relationship that Pierre and Georges maintained between them throughout their lives could be an argument in this sense. Of course no irrefutable proof has been discovered and probably never will be. Nevertheless certain letters . are quite troubling. In 1895 for example Louÿs writes gravely to his brother that he knows the answer to 'the most poignant question' he could ask him a question he has had 'on his lips for ten years.' The following year at the height of Aphrodite's triumph he thanks Georges effusively and ends his letter with this sentence: 'Not one of my friends has a FATHER who is to him what you are to me.' Arguing from the close intimacy between Georges and Claire Céline during the year 1870 and from the jealousy that the father never ceased to show toward his younger son Claude Farrère did not hesitate to conclude in favor of Georges Louis. And what to think of this dedication by Louÿs to his brother on a deluxe copy of the first edition of Pausole: To Georges his eldest son / Pierre."" Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs In this titillating letter bearing at the top the mention ""Papa doesn't know I'm writing you this letter"" underlined three times young Pierre Louÿs eighteen years old tells his elder about his vacation in Limé Aisne with the Glatron family. Visibly very excited he announces to his brother after some brief family news: ""And I have great news to announce to you which will decide the happiness of my life: I'm getting married. Don't look for a match for me anymore: I've found one."" In order to keep his reader in suspense he first tells him at length about his stay in Limé and paints a portrait of the Glatron family: ""Here first is the introduction to the little work I'm sending you by way of a letter and which may be very boring. It's the tableau of the Glatron family; it amused me to study them a bit while I was there. I wanted to find for each of them three or four words to paint them completely but I soon realized that I couldn't do so for any of them."" Far from being ""boring"" this very long passage allows Pierre Louÿs to deploy his talents as storyteller and caricaturist. Each member receives a colorful description ""the queen mother"" ""a nonentity"" ""a very special character"" ""petrified phlegm"" ""a repetitive Paulus"" ""the little invalid"". and Louÿs also gives pride of place to dialogues which he deliberately exaggerates: ""'I tell you that you took her by the waist! I saw you! Don't say no I saw you!'"" These humorous observations continue with the quasi-anthropological description of a village festival in Limé: ""I arrived in Limé the day before the patron saint's festival. unknown
