Moretti G. (cur.)
George Sand. Scritti sul teatro. I burattini di Nohant
ril. È un omaggio alla curiosità questa raccolta di pagine di George Sand sul teatro, alcune delle quali pubblicate per la prima volta in traduzione italiana. Curiosità del fare e del far vedere; curiosità per gli aspetti più creativi di un gioco che sa farsi teatro, di un intrattenimento privato che sa confrontarsi col pubblico. Curiosità per la scintilla inventiva dell'improvvisazione; per una perfezione tecnica cercata per favorire al massimo una libertà espressiva radicata nel popolare ma per proiettarsi nella satira e nella letteratura.

Each volume housed in a marbled board slipcase and the five volumes housed together in two quarter blue morocco clamshell cases.<br/><br/>Le Piccinino is the tale of a bewitching Sicilian princess whose beauty inflames the desires of everyone she encounters whether artist noble commoner or bandit.<br/><br/>"The Piccinino is a novel of fantasy" writes George Sand in her preamble "which has no claim to paint a precise historical epoch nor to accurately describe a country. It is a study of color dreamed rather than felt and where only a few features have been found just as by chance. The scene of this novel could be placed everywhere else under the sky of the south of Europe .". A story full of fascinating family secrets from one end to the other.<br/><br/>Astonishingly only one the present copy in 1989 of this novel featuring "piracy banditry and disorder" has come to auction within the last fifty years.<br/><br/>"Nothing could be more charming than her tales of mystery intrigue and adventure.Le Piccinino et al - these things have all the spontaneous inventiveness of the romances of Alexander Dumas his open-air quality his pleasure in a story for a story's sake." Henry James Literary Criticism: French Writers p. 730.<br/><br/>On April 16 1847 Chopin wrote to his family: "her new romance entitled thus far Piccinino which means: little. The action takes place on Sicily. Many lovely things; I do not doubt that it will be more to Ludwika's liking than Sand's Lucretia which also aroused less enthusiasm among others here.A great deal of naturalness of poetry I remember what a pleasure it was to listen to her reading it" Fryderyk Chopin—Calendary.<br/><br/>George Sand pen name of Amandine Lucie Aurore Dupin Baronne Dudevant 1804-1876 "was as famous for her ‘unfeminine' independence her habit of wearing men's clothes and her love affairs with such prominent artistic figures as Alfred de Musset and Frédéric Chopin as for her writings. In 1831 she left her husband Baron Dudevant. Her work is usually divided into three distinct periods the first of which intensely romantic corresponds to her affair with Musset. The novels of this period plead the right of free love for both men and women and include such works as Indiana 1832 Lélia 1833 and Valentine 1832. During the next decade George Sand became interested in various humanitarian reform movements and published such works as Consuelo 1842 and Le Meunier d'Angibault 1845. Her last group of novels sentimental studies of nature and of rustic manners includes La Mare au diable 1846 Le Piccinino 1847 La Petite Fadette 1848 and François le Champi 1850" Benét's Reader's Encyclopedia.<br/><br/>Vicaire VII col. 231.

But I want to assure you about your manuscript which I have reread and of which I am very happy." Signed "G. Sand" .

Sand George
George Sand Writes about Liberty and Human Progress
George Sand pseudonym of Amandine Aurore Dupin Baronne Dudevant was a prolific writer and early feminist. 2 page Autograph Letter Signed in French dated 4 June 1863. No place. To close friend and politician Emile de Girardin.<br/><br/>Both Sand and the recipient of her letter Emile de Girardin were politically progressive siding with the working class and poor and advocating for women's rights. Sand was an ardent supporter of the 1848 Revolution in which both Sand and Girardin held positions as members of government. However she was appalled by the violence of the Paris Commune and openly criticized it. The famed French feminist author sends Girardin her article and praises his role in "the liberty and progress" that has transpired following the Parisian elections. Reflecting on the "laws of repression" she notes that the people who resist progress are "generally unbecoming and loose imbeciles." A fascinating letter documenting Sand's honest views on human progress and the hurdles that need to be overcome in attaining it. Letter is in very good condition with blue ink clear and dark save for some of Sand's original smudges typical of her hasty pen. Light streak across left of front page. A political and inspiring letter from the early feminist author. unknown books

Sand Maurice
Masques et Bouffons Comedie Italienne Texte et Dessins Par Maurice Sand Gravures Par A. Manceau Preface Par George Sand 2 volumes
Paris: A. Levy Fils 1862. Quarter Morocco pebbled cloth boards. Very Good. Sand Maurice. 2 volumes 4to. 28 by 19 cm. viii 356 2 384 pp. 50 hand-colored plates featuring the stock characters of the improvisational Theatre Italienne such as Harlequino Arlechino Pulcinella Colombine Pagliaccio Pierrot Pantalon L'Apothicaire Le Notaire Scaramuccia Pasquariello etc. Nowadays these characters are most familiar to opera-goers thanks to the comical works of Donizetti Mascagni Busoni Mozart etc. Most of these characters grew out of the roaming theatrical troupes that originated in Italy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The costume and basic personality of the character remained stable from one performance to the next but within those parameters the characters in a troupe usually following the broad contours of a story line would improvise bringing in buffonery perhaps relating to the events of the day the specific venue where they were appearing or whatever else might spring into their mind on the spur of the moment. In the eighteenth century the free form went into decline replaced by more scripted plays but its influence is very evident in the plays of Goldoni Moliere who worked well before the form vanished and besides the opera buffa early twentieth century Vaudeville ballet and more current comedy. Also the costume from the Theatre Italienne has never failed to excite enthusiasm and thus it is often celebrated in the decorative arts as perhaps most magnificently in porcelain beginning in the eighteenth century with Meissen Nymphenburg and many other makes. Today the style of Harlequin or Arlecchino continue to be emulated in clothes design with some regularity. This two volume celebration of the costume and characters of this theater was written by Maurice Sand who was the son of the novelist George Sand who wrote the preface. Maurice Sand 1823 -1889 was an accomplished illustrator and writer in his own right. Occasional soiling sometimes toning around perimeter outside of tissue guards which have survived remarkably well. Rubbing along joints and moderate wear of boards. Very handsome marbled painting of edges. <br/><br/> A. Levy Fils hardcover books

Autograph Letter Signed
Paris 1848. unbound. very good. Important A.L.S. as Sand had recently began writing for the soon-to-be-banned Le Vrai Republique with integral address page personal stationary with blind stamped monogrammed initials: "G.S." 8vo. 1 page Paris March 16th 1848 to radical journalist and fellow supporter of the French Revolution Theophile Thore in French with translation explaining that she has not yet met with Louis and Charles Blanc and apologizes for not having responded to his letters because all of her time has been consumed writing material for the Republique. In closing she signs herself "a vous de tout Coeur / George Sand". Evenly toned and set into a white matte gatefold whereby both the letter and the integral address page are both visible then placed into a simple gold-stained wooden frame to 13" x 11.5". Louis Blanc 1811-1882 was a staunch French Socialist and reformer who only three months after this letter was written was exiled to England where he would remain until 1870. Also two weeks prior to this letter being sent George Sand had agreed to provide the Republique with no less than 13 original articles for publication. An exceptional letter written during the heart of the French Revolution of 1848.<br/><br/> French novelist and socialist whose works were immensely popular in Europe during her lifetime and whose fame eclipsed both that of Victor Hugo and Honore de Balzac in the 1840's and 1850's.<br/><br/> unknown books

Sand George
Fanchette. Se vend au profit de Fanchette
Paris: Imprimerie de Schneider et Langrand 1843. First edition. Contemporary 19th century quarter calf binding with green boards; gentle wear to edges. Internally an excellent copy with original wraps bound in; occasional light foxing and small paper loss to margins of last two leaves neither affecting text. Octavo collates complete with 31 pages. An exceptionally rare copy of Sand's first work on social justice of which only 500 were printed. This copy is the only one known to have come onto the market with none in the modern auction records and the only other held at La Bibliotheque Nationale de France.<br/><br/>Having dedicated the first decade of her career toward writing novels about women's internal and social struggles George Sand made her first move into activism with Fanchette. Shocked by the story of a young girl with mental illness who had been refused refuge in a convent and was soon after discovered pregnant and arrested for begging Sand opted to expose the events in a set of letters printed in the Revue Independente. Following a wave of public outcry "Sand decided to have the letters printed in brochure form with the plan that half the copies would be distributed free to the workers of La Chatre the others sold for the benefit of Fanchette. Five hundred copies of this brochure of thirty-one pages were printed and circulated. The Fanchette case therefore revealing as it did an appalling lack of sympathy for the poor and misfortunate convinced George Sand that an effort should be made to awaken the citizens of La Chatre to their duties as members of a community" Bowes. This publication marked a new phase of Sand's writing career which more directly emphasized social justice particularly for vulnerable women. A rare and important work.
