Victor HUGO
"j'en profite pour mener ma femme à une petite sauterie en mascarade chez Nodier"" Signed autograph letter addressed to his friend H. de Cambier
Paris 1830. Fine. Paris s. d. ca 1830 12 x 18.50 cm 1 page Autograph letter signed by Victor Hugo to his friend H. de Cambier 20 lines written in black ink on a bifolium autograph address on the verso of the final leaf. Splendid and likely unpublished letter from Victor Hugo inviting his correspondent to the famed Romantic 'Cénacle' gatherings at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal a veritable literary institution in the 1830's. ""This Saturday the 6th I noticed the other evening Sir that you expressed with some regret not having a ball to attend on Sunday tomorrow. Now I have managed to arrange my guard duty so as to be free tomorrow from nine o'clock to midnight alas I could not obtain more than six hours and I am taking advantage of it to take my wife to a small masquerade party at Nodier's. If you would like to come with us we would be delighted and Nodier too. To do so you would need to be at my home at nine o'clock the hour I myself will return. Answer me this morning and believe in all my friendship. Vr Hugo."" ""In the drawing room of the Arsenal library where he had been head librarian since 1824 Charles Nodier hosted every Sunday evening the entire Romantic literary and artistic elite during the final years of the Restoration and the early years of the July Monarchy. In addition to Hugo one of the most regular attendees and later Musset Dumas and Balzac the salon gathered ""representatives of all the book professions from conception to illustration publication and criticism . in a friendly and convivial atmosphere"" Marta Sukiennicka. Hugo invites his correspondent to a masked ball held on one of those celebrated Sundays. Far from being a mere social occasion the 'Cénacle of the Arsenal' salon was one of the most vibrant centers of the Romantic movement. Having succeeded in excusing himself from his National Guard duties he was a sub-lieutenant in 1830 Hugo had likely arranged for a replacement to take his watch that evening; even the most illustrious of writers were not exempt from such military service. A few years later Balzac dodged his National Guard shifts and was imprisoned twice in 1836 and 1839. unknown

Victor HUGO - Adele HUGO
"Mon exil est comme voisin de son tombeau et je vois distinctement sa grande âme hors de ce monde"" Autograph letter signed to the widow of the sculptor David d'Angers
Hauteville House Hauteville House 1856. Fine. Hauteville House Hauteville House 11 et 13 mai 1856 14 x 21.50 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Victor Hugo dated 13 May 1856 following an unpublished letter from Madame Victor Hugo to Madame David d'Angers dated 11 May. 4 pages on a folded sheet with watermark ""Barbet Smith Street Guernesey"". Published in Correspondance de Victor Hugo Paris year 1856 p. 246 In this letter imbued with the apparitions and specters that haunt the recently published Contemplations Victor Hugo addresses the widow of his great friend the sculptor David d'Angers fervent republican and artist particularly admired by the Romantics. In the midst of a mystical crisis Hugo speaks to the shadow of the sculptor to whom he dedicated sublime poems in Les feuilles d'automne as well as Les rayons et les ombres and requests from his widow his favorite portrait a marble bust once sculpted by David d'Angers. After the expulsion of the exiles from the island of Jersey Victor Hugo purchased Hauteville House thanks to the success of Contemplations and sadly learned of the death of a dear friend. He writes to the sculptor's widow on the same sheet as his wife Adèle also connected with the family of David d'Angers creator of a medallion in her likeness: ""You are the widow of our great David d'Angers and you are his worthy widow as you were his worthy wife"". The renowned sculptor had already formed bonds at Nodier's first romantic salon at the Arsenal and visited Hugo almost daily in the late 1820s in the Bonapartist and good-natured atmosphere of rue Notre-Dame des Champs in the company of the Devéria brothers Sainte-Beuve Balzac Nanteuil and Delacroix. In 1828 the writer had happily posed in David d'Angers' studio on rue de Fleurus for a medallion then a bust which had been followed by two sublime poems celebrating the sculptor's talent in Les Feuilles d'Automne and Les rayons et les ombres. Of all his numerous portraits he cherished above all others his marble bust signed David d'Angers and does not hesitate to request it from his widow: ""Before long perhaps madame my family will ask you to return this bust which is my figure which is little but which is a masterpiece by David which is everything. It is him even more than me and that is why we want to have it among us"". From these posing sessions with the sculptor arose fruitful aesthetic and political conversations where their common aversion to the death penalty was affirmed. They witnessed the chaining of galley slaves who were joining Toulon from Paris described by Hugo in two chapters of Dernier jour d'un condamné. A victim of exile like Hugo David d'Angers had returned to Paris before joining the world of the dead: ""My exile is like neighbor to his tomb and I see distinctly his great soul outside this world as I see his great life in the stern history of our time"". The ""great life"" of David d'Angers was devoted to shaping the effigies of illustrious men through a subtle balance of resemblance and idealization. The sculptor finally takes his place in Victor Hugo's personal pantheon he who had adorned the pediment of the true Pantheon of great men where the writer rests today: ""David is today a figure of memory a renown of marble an inhabitant of the pedestal after having been its craftsman. Today death has consecrated the man and the sculptor is statue. The shadow he casts upon you madame gives your life the form of glory"". It was indeed in the shadow of great men that Hugo lived his exile in Jersey far from the tumult of the capital and in the silence punctuated by sea spray striking the windowpanes. Hugo had plunged into the occult and spoke to the departed: ""David is one of the shadows to whom I speak most often shadow myself"" he declares recalling the final poem of Contemplations ""Ce que dit la bouche d'ombre"" dictated to the poet through the spiritualist process of ""turning tables"". Then at the height of their popularity the tables were practice unknown

"Écrit sur le tombeau d'un petit enfant au bord de la mer"" Signed autograph poem from ""The Rays and Shadows""
1840. Fine. ""Spare still the mother vainly weepingO'er baby lost not long a-sleeping."" s.d. 21 janvier 1840 21.20 x 26.70 cm un feuillet sous cadre Autograph poem by Victor Hugo signed V. H. four stanzas written black ink on a leaf. Blind stamp of the city of Bath in the lower left-hand corner. Some folds small traces of foxing along the folds a few pale stains to the lower right margin not affecting the text. A few very small dark spots in the lower right margin one affecting a single letter of the word retombe. Original manuscript and earlier version of Victor Hugo's poem published as Écrit sur le tombeau d'un petit enfant au bord de la mer Baby's seaside grave in Les Rayons et les Ombres XXXVIII Paris Delloye 1840. Hugo wrote this magnificent eulogy in memory of his great friend Auguste Vacquerie's young nephew who died at the age of four years and ten months. The poet had promised a poetic epitaph and personally addressed this manuscript to Vacquerie: Take these verses if you still want them for the tomb of this dear little one Letter to Vacquerie January 21 1840. As Joseph Petrus Christiaan de Boer pointed out There is no sorrow Hugo understood and expressed more delicately than the immense grief that fills the hearts of parents upon the death of a child Victor Hugo et l'enfant 1933 p. 48-49. This poem is the first of a sublime macabre series composed on the occasion of the numerous tragedies suffered by the families of both Victor Hugo and his friend Auguste Vacquerie. The most famous will be Demain dès l'aube. written after the untimely death of Hugo's beloved daughter Léopoldine who drowned alongside Auguste Vacquerie's brother Charles on September 4 1843 shortly after their marriage. Hugo wrote these verses for Charles-Emile Lefèvre the young child of Vacquerie's sister who had succumbed to sudden illness on November 6 1839. On January 21 1840 Hugo sent this manuscript to Vacquerie which includes a variation from the final version published by Delloye on May 16 of the same year: « Vieux lierre frais gazon herbe roseaux corolles ; Église où l'esprit voit le Dieu qu'il rêve ailleurs ; mouches qui murmurez d'ineffables paroles A l'oreille du pâtre assoupi dans les fleurs ; Vents flots hymne orageux chur sans fin voix sans nombre ; Bois qui faites songer le passant sérieux ; fruits qui tombez de l'arbre impénétrable et sombre ; Étoiles qui tombez du ciel mystérieux ; oiseaux aux cris joyeux vague aux rumeurs ' plaintes' in the published version profondes ; froid lézard des vieux murs dans les pierres tapi ; plaines qui répandez vos souffles sur les ondes ; Mer où la perle éclot terre où germe l'épi ; Nature d'où tout sort nature où tout retombe feuilles nids doux rameaux que l'air n'ose effleurer Ne faites pas de bruit autour de cette tombe ; Laissez l'enfant dormir et la mère pleurer. » ' Brown ivy old green herbage new; Soft seaweed stealing up the shingle; An ancient chapel where a crew Ere sailing in the prayer commingle. A far-off forest's darkling frown Which makes the prudent start and tremble Whilst rotten nuts are rattling down And clouds in demon hordes assemble. Land birds which twit the mews that scream Round walls where lolls the languid lizard; Brine-bubbling brooks where fishes stream Past caves fit for an ocean wizard. Alow aloft no lullall life But far aside its whirls are keeping As wishfully to let its strife Spare still the mother vainly weeping O'er baby lost not long a-sleeping.' tr. Nelson Rich Tyerman Hugo sent the manuscript with a touching letter: Here at last my poet is what I have kept you waiting for so stupidly long. . Take these verses if you still want them for the tomb of this dear little one . For my part I do not feel that I have repaid my debt to this angel with so little. I have begun something longer for him that I will one day lay at the feet of his poor mo unknown

By Victor Hugo Author Bio: Victor Hugo 18021885 was one of the major figures of French Romantic literature remembered above all for novels of immense social and imaginative reach especially Notre-Dame de Paris and Les Misérables. First published in 1862 Les Misérables became an immediate success and remains Hugos best-known exploration of justice poverty redemption and the moral life of modern society. Illustrated By: De Neuville Bayard Morin Valnay Illustrator Bio: De Neuville Bayard Morin Valnay and other prominent French artists The illustrations in this edition draw on the work of several notable 19th-century French artists including Alphonse de Neuville Émile Bayard Edmond Morin and Jacques Desroches-Valnay. De Neuville was celebrated for his dramatic historical and military scenes; Bayard is especially remembered for his iconic Les Misérables imagery above all his famous Cosette; Morin was a gifted painter-printmaker and journal illustrator; and Desroches-Valnay contributed widely to the illustrated French press of the later 19th century. Synopsis: At the heart of Les Misérables is Jean Valjean the former convict whose attempt to rebuild his life unfolds across a vast panorama of 19th-century France. Around him move Javert Fantine Cosette and Marius as Hugo turns an engrossing narrative into a sweeping meditation on mercy suffering social injustice and political upheaval.

"</em></p><p><u>Léonie Biard's loving memory from exile</u><br />A great love of Victor Hugo Léonie Biard 1820-1879 was the only woman for whom the writer hesitated to leave Juliette Drouet. Born into a family of minor nobility Léonie Thévenot received a good education before marrying the painter François Biard. In the spring of 1843 she met Victor Hugo perhaps in Fortunée Hamelin's salon. They became lovers in December of the same year. Léonie inspired him to write many poems of which we can find traces in <em>Les Contemplations</em>. In July 1845 the two lovers were caught in the act of adultery. Léonie Biard was arrested and thrown into the prison of Saint-Lazare where she remained from 5 July to 10 September. She was then transferred to the convent of Sentenced by the Seine court she lost custody of her children. Victor Hugo benefiting from his inviolability as Peer of France will always feel indebted to her. He sent her money regularly and continued to send her his books. Their affair was abruptly interrupted during the coup d'état of 2 December 1851 forcing the poet into exile. Juliette Drouet unaware of the affair learned of this seven-year affair from Léonie herself who on June 28 1851 sent her back the poet's letters. They were published by Jean Gaudon and are kept at the Maison de Victor Hugo after having belonged successively to Juliette Drouet Louis Koch Paul Meurice Alexandrine de Rothschild sale I n°67 and then to Colonel Sickles II 1989 n°361.</p><p><u>Alphonsine Masson the spiritual link</u><br />The direct recipient of this letter Alphonsine Masson played an essential role as an intermediary between the poet and Léonie Biard. The two friends knew each other from before the exile. It is therefore through her that Victor Hugo can reach Léonie through words. An exalted personality Alphonsine wanted to go beyond a wise conjugal existence through literary essays and an eventful spiritual quest. Marked by an education received from a militant agnostic father and a pious mother she first devoted herself to spiritualism establishing contacts with spirits from beyond the grave. In 1857 she was a member of an association that had rediscovered Franz Mesmer's scorned and abandoned science. Around 1860 she suddenly lost her ability as a medium: "Whatever I did then to get it back together I couldn't do it." She then proclaimed herself a Christian convert and published an autobiography <em>Ma conversion</em> Paris 1864 in which she recounted her spiritual journey. At the same time as this conversion remembering that she had been asked to write for many years by friends eminent in letters she became emboldened and responded to her late vocation. She wrote three novels: <em>Louise</em> <em>Les Trois amies</em> <em>La Perle noire</em> which appeared only in serials in <em>L'Estafette</em> <em>Le Siècle</em> and other Parisian newspapers.</p><p>Why did Victor Hugo pass on his messages to Léonie Biard through Alphonsine Masson Was it a question of not reviving the scandal that had marked the discovery of adultery No doubt the poet wanted to escape any police control over this correspondence which if revealed could have compromised the exile in the eyes of public opinion. He might also be afraid of hurting Juliet by reviving an old wound.</p><p><u>Provenance:</u><br />Alphonsine Masson's etate until 2002<br />Then private collection</p>

Legend has it - he surrounded us with legends! - that one morning at Hauteville House while he was working in that glass cage perched at the top of the house little Georges came in and said: - Hello Papapa! . To hear the son of his son Charles who had just died pronounce this unknown word the grandfather was overjoyed for he knew the secret language of children: Georges' stammer made him twice a father much more than a grandfather. . My name is Papapa now' he said softly. And until he died my sister and I called him by this dearest name which he always cherished"" Georges-Victor Hugo My Grandfather Mon grand-père Paris: Calmann-Lévy In 1871 after the tragic and unexpected death of his son Charles Victor Hugo became guardian of his two grandchildren Georges and Jeanne. From then on he played a large part in their upbringing and spent some of the happiest moments of his life with them reflected in the countless endearing notes about the two children in Choses vues Things Seen. Upon the death of his last son François-Victor he moved in with Georges and Jeanne's mother Alice at 21 rue de Clichy; on the floor below he lodged Juliette Drouet. This gave him plenty of time to spend with his ""little ones"" for whom he organized children's dinners and made plenty of toys. The children are the subject of his immensely popular poetry collection L'Art d'être grand-père 1877 The Art of Being a Grandfather. ""Its popularity was immediate and its success resounding so dazzling was his way of celebrating childhood by telling the story of Georges Jeanne and himself. By putting children's words into verse so naturally and freshly Georges et Jeanne's ""Papapa"" has succeeded like no other in exalting ""grandparental"" feelings. At home these feelings are not limited to allowing children to leave their toys lying around on manuscripts: when Alice remarried journalist and politician Édouard Lockroy' Simon contributor to Le Rappel Hugo opposed him sharing guardianship"" Sandrine Fillipetti Victor Hugo This inaugural volume of Actes et paroles Deeds and Words containing Victor Hugo's first major political texts is a poignant testimony to his humanist commitments. The ""little"" owners of this precious copy received their grandfather's intellectual and militant legacy: from his ""Discours de réception"" at the Académie française 1841 to his famous stance against Napoleon III ""Révision de la Constitution"" ""No! after Napoleon the Great I don't want Napoleon 'le Petit'!"" which led to his exile. At the heart of this compilation is a highly significant text ""For Charles Hugo. The death penalty"" delivered by Hugo before the Seine Assize Court in 1851 in de Michel Lévy frères hardcover
