Two Typed Letters signed "André Maurois" to Hans Roger Madol regarding Madol's book GODOY: THE FIRST OF THE MODERN DICTATORS
Neuilly-sur-Seine France 1932. One page each. 1 vols. Half-sheet quarto. Very good. One page each. 1 vols. Half-sheet quarto. Maurois to a Fellow Biographer. Two letters to Madol concering the latter's book on the Spanish dictator Godoy translated into English as GODOY: THE FIRST OF THE MODERN DICTATORS L. 1934.<br/><br/>In the first letter Maurois acknowledges receipt of the book by the historian and biographer Madol: " I have just read the beginning and the book seems fine to me. I promise to let you know . "<br/><br/>In the second letter Maurois responds to an invitation to write the Preface to GODOY: "I"d be delighted to see your book on Godoy appear in France but I don't feel capable of writing a preface on the subject. It's about a man I know little about except through you and about a period which I have never studied. My Preface would have little authority. I think every man should stay faithful to what he knows. But if you wish I could very well recommend your book to my publisher . "<br/><br/>André Maurois 1885-1967 novelist and biographer was son of an Alsatian draper who worked in the family business until he became a staff liaison officer with the British forces during World War I. His novel Les Silences du colonel Bramble 1918 gained him an immediate celebrity; Maurois wrote prolifically: novels on philosphical and moral themes and well-regarded biographies; he was elected to the Académie Française in 1938. unknown books

Typed Letter signed to editor Ernest Boyd of the American Spectator regarding the possible publication of an excerpt from his unpublished work EDOUARD VII
Neuilly-sur-Seine France 1933. One page. 1 vols. 4to. Slight wear at edges and folds. One page. 1 vols. 4to. To the American Spectator. Interesting letter from the French Jewish novelist biographer essayist and historian to the American co-editor along with George Jean Nathan of Nathan's newly formed magazine "The American Spectator."<br/><br/>"My dear Boyd<br/><br/>"I had promised to give some unpublished excepts from my Edward VII. It isn't easy to detach sections from a historical work. However you could take either the first chapter "Final Days and Death of Queen Victoria" which Appleton already has in translation and could give you - or the third chapter "Men and Parties" which contains several potraits of Englihs politicians . a few of them might be amusing ."<br/><br/><br/>Born as Emile Herzog Maurois changed his name assimilated and published his first novel in 1918. During WWII he supported the Vichy regime but was a strong opponent of Hitler and eventually had to flee to the United States where he taught at Princeton. He is perhaps even more widely known in Great Britain and the U.S. for his masterful biographies of Shelley and Byron and his books on the Edward and the Edawardian Period as discussed here and English history. unknown books

Alas the calf is heavily rubbed along the joints with starting by the lower rear joint and the spine is darkened and heavily rubbed. Inside the book is clean and fresh with the color illustrations uniformly a delight. <br/><br/> Editions Mornay unknown books

Les Silences du Colonel Bramble.
Paris Éditions de la Maison française 10 novembre 1949. 1 vol. 230 x 285 mm de 214 p. 1 et 1 f. En feuilles sous chemise et étui éditeur. . Édition illustrée par Berthommé Saint-André de 20 eaux-fortes et 24 lettrines. Un des 20 premiers exemplaires sur Rives avec la suite en bistre n° 12 sans le cuivre annoncé mais enrichi de la gouache originale d'une des illustration signée par l'artiste mine de plomb encre et gouache ; celle-ci est mentionnée à l'encre à la page de justification « dessin original ». La gouache réalisée sur une feuille de papier japon 200 x 250 mm est montée sur un support à encadrement au format de l'exemplaire. . Agent de liaison pendant la première guerre mondiale André Maurois qui ne portait pas encore ce nom « profita de ses observations prises sur le vif pour donner forme à son désir d'écrire. La guerre des tranchées vue sous l'angle des Anglo-Saxons - flegmatiques et considérant l'humour comme un devoir - lui inspira des notes qu'il rédigea dans un style déjà très personnel. Le jeune interprète fut en tous points charmé par ses compagnons de combat et il se peignit lui-même dans cette chronique sous le nom d'Aurelle. Au milieu des pires situations provoquées par la bataille s'enchâssent des conversations des réflexions à caractère "ethnologiques" ainsi que de jolis poèmes en forme de correspondance. Maurois obtint avec ce livre un premier et foudroyant succès : le nom de Bramble restant pour les générations futures caractéristiques de l'Anglais-type » Laffont-Bompiani. Lauréat du Prix Abd-el-Tif en 1925 Louis Berthommé Saint-André est alors le plus jeune pensionnaire de la fameuse villa d'Alger dédiée aux Arts et participe à partir de 1931 à de nombreuses publications illustrées dont plusieurs érotiques pour des oeuvres de Boccace Verlaine Apollinaire ou Baudelaire : « Bien qu'il ait peint beaucoup de paysages il est surtout connu comme peintre de personnages et plus particulièrement de femmes. » Connaissance des arts n° 80 octobre 1958. Ce titre d'André Maurois est le seul que Berthommé Saint-André illustra. De la bibliothèque de Maurice Genevoix aux « Vernelles » avec ex-libris. Paris, Éditions de la Maison française, (10 novembre) 1949. 1 vol. (230 x 285 mm) de 214 p., [1] et 1 f. En feuilles, sous che unknown

MAUROIS (Andre)
Patapoufs et Filifers. Illustré de 75 dessins de Jean Bruller.
S.l. Paul Hartmann 25 octobre 1930. 1 vol. 225 x 285 mm de 92 p. et 2 f. Broché. Édition originale. Un des 240 exemplaires n° 321 sur vélin de Rives. Envoi signé : « Pour Michelle Qui n’est ni patapouf ni filifer mais simplement belle – affectueusement. André Maurois ». Ce conte délicieux est une sorte de parabole sur la différence : deux frères Edmond Double dit Patapouf et Thierry Double dit Filifers s'entendent à merveille jusqu'au jour où l'un s'embarque pour la République des Filifers et l'autre pour le Royaume des Patapoufs. Entre les deux pays que tout oppose la guerre se précise très vite. Après des combats houleux les armes des deux clans se trouvent réunies par d'heureux mariages qui donneront des petits Patapoufilifers. Véritable réussite ce livre est aussi un outil pédagogique efficace pour expliquer aux enfants les mécanismes du racisme. Jean Bruller l'illustrateur disparaît avec l'entrée en Résistance : dans la clandestinité il prendra le nom de Vercors et livrera le texte bouleversant devenu un classique et un livre étendard de la Résistance : Le Silence de la mer. André Maurois eut trois enfants d'un premier mariage dont Michelle née en 1914 à laquelle cet envoi est probablement destiné. Devenu veuf il épousa Simone de Caillavet petite-fille de l'égérie et maîtresse d'Anatole France. Rousseurs éparses. S.l., Paul Hartmann, (25 octobre) 1930. 1 vol. (225 x 285 mm) de 92 p. et [2] f. Broché. unknown
