La Fidélité récompensée. Robe d'après-midi de Worth pl.8 La Gazette du Bon ton 1913 n°10
Paris: Lucien Vogel éditeur 1913. Fine. Lucien Vogel éditeur Paris Août 1913 19 x 24.50 cm une feuille Original color print printed on vergé paper signed in the plate. An original print used to illustrate the Gazette du bon ton one of the most attractive and influential 20th century fashion magazines featuring the talents of French artists and other contributors from the burgeoning Art Deco movement. A celebrated fashion magazine established in 1912 by Lucien Vogel La Gazette du bon ton appeared until 1925 with a hiatus from 1915 to 1920 due to the war the editor-in-chief having been called up for service. It consisted of 69 issues printed in only 2000 copies each and notably illustrated with 573 color plates and 148 sketches of the models of the great designers. Right from the start this sumptuous publication “was aimed at bibliophiles and fashionable society” Françoise Tétart-Vittu “La Gazette du bon ton” in Dictionnaire de la mode 2016 and was printed on fine vergé paper using a type cut specially for the magazine by Georges Peignot known as Cochin later used in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints were made using stencils heightened in colors some highlighted in gold or palladium. The story began in 1912 when Lucien Vogel a man of the world involved in fashion he had already been part of the fashion magazine Femina decided with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff – the sister of Jean creator of Babar – to set up the Gazette du bon ton subtitled at the time: “Art fashion frivolities.” Georges Charensol noted the reasoning of the editor-in-chief: “’In 1910’ he observed ‘there was no really artistic fashion magazine nothing representative of the spirit of the time. My dream was therefore to make a luxury magazine with truly modern artists…I was assured of success because when it comes to fashion no country on earth can compete with France.’” “Un grand éditeur d’art. Lucien Vogel” in Les Nouvelles littéraires no. 133 May 1925. The magazine was immediately successful not only in France but also in the United States and Latin America. At first Vogel put together a team of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt as well as eventually his friends from school and the School of Fine Arts like George Barbier Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Charles Martin. Other talented people soon came flocking to join the team: Guy Arnoux Léon Bakst Benito Boutet de Monvel Umberto Brunelleschi Chas Laborde Jean-Gabriel Domergue Raoul Dufy Édouard Halouze Alexandre Iacovleff Jean Émile Laboureur Charles Loupot Chalres Martin Maggie Salcedo. These artist mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel sought them out later became emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. It was also they who worked on the advertising drawings for the Gazette. The plates put the spotlight on and celebrate dresses by seven designers of the age: Lanvin Doeuillet Paquin Poiret Worth Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nonetheless some of the illustrations are not based on real models but simply on the illustrator’s conception of the fashion of the day. The Gazette du bon ton was an important step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demands with the physical whole it brought together – for the first time – the great talents of the artistic literary and fashion worlds; and imposed through this alchemy a completely new image of women: slender independent and daring which was shared by the new generation of designers including Coco Chanel Jean Patou Marcel Rochas and so on… Taken over in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast the Gazette du bon ton was an important influence on the new layout and aesthetics of that “little dying paper” that Nast had bought a few years earlier: Vogue.

Le Paradoxe d'Aytré - Manuscrit original et tapuscrit complets
s. l.: S. n. 1949. Fine. S. n. s. l. 1949 13.50 x 21.50 cm Autograph manuscript by the author of 16 pages in-8 published in number 9 June 1946 of Les Temps modernes and reprinted slightly revised in La Part du Feu 1949. Complete recto-verso manuscript very densely written with numerous deletions corrections and additions. Accompanied by the complete typescript with autograph corrections in black ink. ""Le Paradoxe d'Aytré"" ""Aytré's Paradox"" is the first text by Maurice Blanchot that Jean-Paul Sartre published in the pages of Les Temps modernes the spearhead of committed literature. Three others would follow until 1952 ""Le roman œuvre de mauvaise foi"" ""The Novel a Work of Bad Faith"" ""A la rencontre de Sade"" ""Meeting Sade"" and ""L'art la littérature et l'expérience originelle"" ""Art Literature and Original Experience"" all of great importance. Continuing his reflection begun several years earlier on the writer's struggle with language and his relationship to silence notably in his article ""Le Mythe d'Oreste"" ""The Myth of Orestes"" Blanchot bases his demonstration here on Aytré qui perd l'habitude ""Aytré Who Loses the Habit"" by Jean Paulhan - a major influence - who notably provides him with the title of his article: ""De ce petit récit il ne résulte pas que la littérature ne doive logiquement commencer qu'avec le crime ou à défaut avec le vol. Mais qu'elle suppose un écroulement une sorte de catastrophe initiale et le vide même que mesurent l'anxiété et le souci c'est ce qu'on peut être tenté de voir. Or remarquons-le cette catastrophe ne s'exerce pas seulement sur le monde les objets qu'on manie . ; elle s'étend aussi et en même temps au langage à la possibilité des mots. C'est là le paradoxe d'Aytré."" ""From this little story it does not follow that literature should logically begin only with crime or failing that with theft. But that it presupposes a collapse a sort of initial catastrophe and the very void that anxiety and worry measure this is what one might be tempted to see. Now let us note this catastrophe is not exercised only on the world the objects we handle .; it extends also and at the same time to language to the possibility of words. This is Aytré's paradox."" And he adds: ""L'écrivain ne débute pas toujours avec le sang d'un fait divers ou l'horreur d'un crime qui lui ferait sentir l'instabilité et le vide du monde mais il ne peut guère songer à commencer autrement que par une certaine incapacité de parler et d'écrire par une perte de mots par l'absence même des moyens dont il surabonde. Ainsi lui est-il indispensable de sentir d'abord qu'il n'a rien à dire."" ""The writer does not always begin with the blood of a news item or the horror of a crime that would make him feel the instability and emptiness of the world but he can hardly think of beginning otherwise than with a certain inability to speak and write with a loss of words with the very absence of the means of which he has abundance. Thus it is essential for him to feel first that he has nothing to say."" Jean Paulhan therefore but also Franz Kafka Herman Melville or Stéphane Mallarmé so many writers admired by Blanchot confronted Aytré's paradox silence the collapse of language. And the critic concludes: "". le silence du langage créateur ce silence qui nous fait parler n'est pas seulement une absence de parle mais une absence tout court cette distance que nous mettons entre les choses et nous et en nous-mêmes et dans les mots et qui fait que le langage le plus plein est aussi le plus poreux le plus transparent le plus nul car il laisse infiniment fuir le creux même qu'il enferme sorte de petit alcarazas du vide."" "". the silence of creative language this silence that makes us speak is not only an absence of speech but an absence pure and simple this distance that we put between things and ourselves and within ourselves and in words and which makes the fullest language also the most S. n. unknown

Une étude sur l'Apocalypse. Manuscrit autographe et tapuscrit complets
s. l. Paris: S. n. Journal des débats 1945. Fine. S. n. Journal des débats s. l. • Paris s. d. 1945 13.50 x 21 cm 4 1/2 pages in-8 Autograph manuscript by the author of 4 and a half pages in-8 published in the issue of November 3 1943 of Journal des Débats. Complete recto-verso manuscript in very dense handwriting with numerous deletions corrections and additions. The complete typescript is included. Chronicle published on the occasion of the publication of L'Apocalypse de St Jean vision chrétienne de l'histoire by Father H.M. Féret. From the outset Maurice Blanchot doing his job as a critic praises the seriousness of the study conducted by Father Féret. But what interests him more than this careful orthodoxy are the powerful echoes of L'Apocalypse in the terrible hours the world was then going through: « Dans les périodes troublées les esprits qui ne supportent pas l'incertitude de l'avenir ont besoin de prophètes. Mais ces prophètes ils les demandent au passé et plus l'oracle est ancien - et redoutable - plus ils y voient des correspondances avec l'histoire qu'ils voudraient connaître. L'Apocalypse de St Jean doit en partie à la sublimité du langage à l'autorité de l'écrivain à l'étendue de la révélation une curiosité que des siècles d'étude n'ont pas réussi à épuiser. Mais elle doit aussi son prestige auprès d'esprits qui ne sont pas toujours pieux à l'antiquité de la réponse et à son caractère terrifiant. Qui n'est pas prêt à croire que la fin des temps est proche et que le pire va être vécu Chacun a le désir secret d'associer sa propre fin qu'il entrevoie à celle du monde dont il est moins sûr. » ""In troubled periods minds that cannot bear the uncertainty of the future need prophets. But these prophets they seek them in the past and the more ancient - and fearsome - the oracle the more they see correspondences with the history they would like to know. The Apocalypse of St. John owes partly to the sublimity of language to the authority of the writer to the extent of the revelation a curiosity that centuries of study have not managed to exhaust. But it also owes its prestige among minds that are not always pious to the antiquity of the answer and to its terrifying character. Who is not ready to believe that the end of times is near and that the worst will be lived Each has the secret desire to associate his own end that he glimpses with that of the world of which he is less certain."" The biblical text thus awakens his interest for its literary and mythological qualities but also in an almost political approach for its sense of History. Furthermore if religion does not of course pose itself in terms of belief for Blanchot it nevertheless reveals his attention to the question of God particularly sensitive through Judaism notably and joins that decisive in his eyes of the writer's interior experience. Finally the analysis of L'Apocalypse that Blanchot delivers here constitutes a first in-depth reflection on the question of Evil: « . ce qui est propre au message inspiré c'est le rôle qu'il fait jouer au démon dans la vie collective et le mouvement de l'histoire. Saint Jean ne dévoile pas l'action du mal dans les âmes ; il se borne à montrer quelle maîtrise les puissances démoniaques peuvent exercer sur les réalités collectives par quelles voies elles agissent . et quelle défaite mettra un terme à leur empire. » "". what is proper to the inspired message is the role it makes the demon play in collective life and the movement of history. Saint John does not unveil the action of evil in souls; he confines himself to showing what mastery demonic powers can exercise over collective realities by what paths they act . and what defeat will put an end to their empire."" These links between the Apocalypse History and Evil would be questioned again by Blanchot in ""L'Apocalypse déçoit"" 1964 and ""Penser l'Apocalypse"" 1988. First foundational text by Blanchot on Evil and History. Between April 1941 and Augus S. n.[ Journal des débats] unknown

Adolphe ou le malheur des sentiments - Manuscrit autographe.
1946. Fine. 1946 20.90 x 13.70 cm en feuilles Autograph manuscript by the author of sixteen and a half pages in-8vo published in issue 20 October 1946 of L'Arche and reprinted slightly revised in La Part du Feu 1949. Complete recto-verso manuscript in very dense handwriting with numerous deletions corrections and additions. Benjamin Constant's Adolphe who was one of the prestigious contributors to the Journal des débats during its golden age interests Maurice Blanchot at the very moment when he begins a passionate relationship with Denise Rollin former mistress of Georges Bataille. Moreover ""Adolphe ou le malheur des sentiments vrais"" is one of Blanchot's rare texts thus devoted to amorous desire: ""On trouve presque à chaque page dans Adolphe la description des sentiments dont la cause a beau se renverser tout les renvoie à eux-mêmes tout en confirme la fatalité. C'est que le point est atteint où la diversité des évènements et tout l'infini du monde répètent inlassablement le mouvement en cercle dans lequel s'est enfermé le cœur avide de vérité."" ""One finds on almost every page in Adolphe the description of feelings whose cause may well be reversed everything sends them back to themselves everything confirms their fatality. This is because the point is reached where the diversity of events and all the infinity of the world tirelessly repeat the circular movement in which the heart avid for truth has enclosed itself."" To support his analysis Blanchot chooses to compare Constant's approach to that of other writers particularly to that of Proust in the Recherche: "". Proust ne désire pas cette absence comme le mouvement de toute communication ainsi que le fait Constant : il ne la désire même pas mais c'est elle qui lui rend un être désirable en le faisant souffrir de ne pouvoir l'atteindre. . Proust aime parce qu'il souffre et il souffre de sentir tout ce qu'il y a d'absence dans une présence toujours fuyante ; mais c'est aussi à cause de cette absence que cette présence fonde des rapports véritables. Constant commence à aimer lorsqu'un être particulier éclaire aimante tout le vide qui le sépare des autres et que la possession est loin de restituer sous la forme de l'inconnu. Dès que par un engagement trop exigeant la possibilité de ses relations avec tous qu'il a voulu vivre avec une personne unique est épuisée il étouffe il succombe. Il a besoin d'être libre mais il est toujours lié."" ""Proust does not desire this absence as the movement of all communication as Constant does: he does not even desire it but it is this absence that makes a being desirable to him by making him suffer from not being able to reach it. . Proust loves because he suffers and he suffers from feeling all the absence there is in a presence that is always fleeting; but it is also because of this absence that this presence establishes true relationships. Constant begins to love when a particular being illuminates magnetizes all the void that separates him from others and which possession is far from restoring in the form of the unknown. As soon as through too demanding an engagement the possibility of his relationships with all that he wanted to live with a single person is exhausted he suffocates he succumbs. He needs to be free but he is always bound."" Blanchot's biographer will see in this conception of Adolphe the reflection of his own feelings toward Denise Rollin BIDENT Christophe Maurice Blanchot : partenaire invisible p. 275. Handsome study on passion and desire through the work of Benjamin Constant. unknown

Lettre tapuscrite à Sartre
1960. Fine. 2 décembre 1960 26.70 x 20.90 cm 5 feuillets in-4 Draft typescript of letter to Jean-Paul Sartre with autograph corrections and with a second version of the first page and typescript with autograph corrections of ""Le monde en question Cours du monde"" project for La Revue internationale Set of five typescript leaves rectos only with the exception of one leaf recto-verso with corrections in red and black ballpoint pen in Maurice Blanchot's hand. This important collection bears witness to the exchanges between Maurice Blanchot and Jean-Paul Sartre around the famous ""Déclaration sur le droit à l'insoumission dans la guerre d'Algérie"" and the publication project that resulted from it La Revue internationale. Known as the ""Manifeste des 121"" this declaration signed by numerous intellectuals and artists and published on September 6 1960 had been drafted by Dionys Mascolo and Jean Schuster assisted by Maurice Blanchot in anticipation of the trial of the Jeanson network a group of French militants supporting the FLN and with the aim of informing public opinion about the protest movement against the Algerian War and its anti-democratic excesses. Among the signatories was of course Sartre. The manifesto had made many personalities aware of the influence they could exercise in public debate even in the course of History. It was in this context that in autumn 1960 Maurice Blanchot Dionys Mascolo and Elio Vittorini decided to create a review that would be not literary but critical whose purpose would be to continue this action. They sought the help of Jean-Paul Sartre whose extraordinary aura would benefit the publication favorably. In his letter to Sartre Blanchot attempts to convince the philosopher to join the project: ""Vous m'avez rappelé ce que j'ai dû dire quelquefois et que j'ai toujours intimement pensé : que la Déclaration ne trouverait son vrai sens que si elle était le commencement de quelque chose."" ""You reminded me of what I must have said sometimes and what I have always intimately thought: that the Declaration would only find its true meaning if it were the beginning of something."" "". Je voudrais dire mon sentiment propre : je crois que si nous voulons représenter comme il faut sans équivoque le changement dont nous avons les uns et les autres le pressentiment si nous voulons le rendre plus réel et l'approfondir dans sa présence mouvante c'est seulement à partir d'un organe nouveau que nous pourrons le faire. A partir de là si l'on voit Sartre et d'autres avec lui parmi les 121 décider de s'exprimer en cette forme choisie délibérément comme nouvelle chacun "" ""I would like to express my own feeling: I believe that if we want to represent as we should unequivocally the change that we all have a premonition of if we want to make it more real and deepen it in its moving presence it is only from a new organ that we will be able to do so. From there if we see Sartre and others with him among the 121 decide to express themselves in this form deliberately chosen as new everyone"" "". comprendra que vraiment nous entrons dans une nouvelle phase et que quelque chose de décisif a lieu qui cherche à s'affirmer."" ""will understand that we are truly entering a new phase and that something decisive is taking place that seeks to assert itself."" But Sartre would refuse to commit to the review. However during the first six months of 1961 Blanchot devoted himself body and soul to the project hoping it would come to fruition. The typescript included here ""Le monde en question Cours du monde"" reveals the table of contents he envisioned for the first issue: texts on destalinization the situation of the German press intellectual compartmentalization in France and Italy hunger strikes and the Berlin Wall and utopia. The review would never see the light of day to the great despair of Blanchot who was deeply enthusiastic about the idea of collective and international writi unknown

Maurice BLANCHOT - (Friedrich NIETZSCHE)
Du côté de Nietzsche - Manuscrit autographe complet • On Nietzsche’s Side – Complete Autograph Manuscript
1946. Fine. 1946 21.70 x 11.50 cm 7 feuillets foliotés Autograph manuscript by the author 14 pages in octavo published in issue no. 12 December 1945–January 1946 of L'Arche. A complete recto-verso manuscript in a densely written hand with numerous deletions corrections and additions. Essay published on the occasion of the release of Father du Lubac’s Le Drame de l’humanisme athée. After the war the place of Friedrich Nietzsche—alongside the Marquis de Sade and Søren Kierkegaard—in Maurice Blanchot’s thought reflects the decisive influence of Georges Bataille and the philosophers he held in highest regard. From this point on Blanchot devoted many texts to these figures and “Du côté de Nietzsche” stands as a key testimony of that engagement. The very title of his forthcoming collection La Part du feu to be published in 1949 including this article in a slightly revised form is itself a Bataillean reference. For Blanchot Nietzsche’s power through his use of language and style lies less in his most explicit and oft-commented theses than in the crucible of a more fluid and sometimes self-contradictory discourse: « L'influence de Nietzsche ne se réduit pas aux formes extérieures qu'elle a prises ; c'est probablement au contraire ce qui de Nietzsche a échappé à toute transmission manifeste cette part de lui étrangère aux influences directes qui a exercé l'influence la plus profonde. » This idea would remain central to Blanchot’s reading of the German philosopher. Nietzsche’s inconsistency and ambiguity are embodied in the theme of the death of God central to his work: « En aucune façon le thème de la Mort de Dieu ne peut être l'expression d'un savoir définitif ou l'esquisse d'une proposition stable » Blanchot observes. And he famously adds: « Se contredire est le mouvement essentiel d'une telle pensée. » In L’Entretien infini 1969 Blanchot would once again revisit the Nietzschean question of the death of God where it meets that of the unity of man. A remarkable text by Maurice Blanchot on Friedrich Nietzsche illustrating the profound influence of Georges Bataille on his thought. unknown

Maurice BLANCHOT - (Andre BRETON)
Reflexions sur le surréalisme - Manuscrit autographe complet
1945. Fine. 1945 22 x 11.50 cm 8 feuillets foliotés Autograph manuscript by the author of 16 octavo pages published in number 8 August 1945 of L'Arche under the title: Some Reflections on Surrealism. Complete recto-verso manuscript with very dense writing containing numerous deletions corrections and additions. Some Reflections on Surrealism forms the first important text that Maurice Blanchot devoted to André Breton's movement. He rehabilitates surrealism which placed at the center of its activity the question of language and experience - aspects that could not leave Blanchot indifferent - without forgetting to make the following observations: it carries within it a part of failure and its ""situation . remains ambiguous"". Now increasingly asserting his aesthetic positions Blanchot fully recognizes the poetic and experimental value of automatic writing for its very radicalism: ""Automatic writing is . a war machine against reflection and language. It is destined to humiliate human pride particularly in the form that traditional culture has given it. But in reality it is itself a proud aspiration to a mode of knowledge and it has opened to words a new unlimited credit."" Blanchot continues his reflection and insists on the questionings of surrealist writers and poets regarding discourse: ""Surrealism was haunted by this idea: that there was that there had to be a moment . when language was not discourse but reality itself without however ceasing to be the proper reality of language . The surrealists drew brilliant literary consequences from this 'discovery' but for language the effects are more ambiguous and more varied. In this domain they still seem above all to be destroyers. They are unleashed against discourse; they withdraw from it the right to signify something; as a means of social of precise designation they break it ferociously. Language appears somewhat alone annihilated or sacrificed but humiliated. In reality it is a matter of something quite different and even the contrary: language disappears as instrument but that is because it has become subject. Through automatic writing it has benefited from the highest promotion ."" The text would be reprinted in The Work of Fire 1949 not without Blanchot having taken care to attenuate the reservations he expressed in the initial article. First important monographic study devoted by Maurice Blanchot to the question of surrealist language. unknown

Maurice BLANCHOT - (Ernest HEMINGWAY)
Manuscrit autographe sur Hemingway intitulé traduit de . • Autograph manuscript on Hemingway
1946. Fine. 1946 13.50 x 21 cm en feuilles HEMINGWAY BLANCHOT Maurice. Autograph manuscript on Hemingway 1946 16 pages 1/2 in-8 135 x 21 cm loose leaves Author's autograph manuscript 16 and a half 8vo pages published in number 17 of L'Arche July 1946 and reprinted with slight modifications in La Part du Feu 1949. Complete manuscript written recto-verso very densely spaced with numerous deletions corrections and additions. In order to examine the problems related to the translation of a literary text into another language Maurice Blanchot looks at the contemporary American novel and its perception in Europe. “Many good critics complain about American literature: they find it less than original and of middling interest for a culture that moved over fifty years ago beyond naturalism. They make fun of young writers who think they're being modern by imitating Faulkner Dos Passos or Steinbeck while for Americans themselves these writers are more of yesterday than tomorrow.” Thus the critic for whom the oddities of language particular to any literary work survive translation takes the example of a novel by Ernest Hemingway. “In For Whom the Bell Tolls Robert Jordan discovering the importance of the moment he is living repeats the word ‘now' in several languages. Maintenant ahora now heute. But he is somewhat disappointed by the mediocrity of this vocabulary and looks for other words. …. He tries to find in language links between these words and what they mean for him his meeting with Maria who is also his meeting with his final hour his meeting with death. … The word Todt seems to him the most dead of all the word Krieg the one that resembles war most closely.” Or is it just that he knew German less well than the other languages This reflection fascinates Blanchot: “This impression of Robert Jordan's can give us food for thought. If it's true that a language seems more expressive and more real to us when we know it less if words need a certain ignorance to keep their virtue from being revealed this paradox should hardly surprise us since translators come across it all the time and it represents both one of the principal challenges and one of the foremost riches of all translation.” An inspired look at the work of Ernest Hemingway and the problem of translation. unknown

Maurice BLANCHOT
Fragment de manuscrit autographe sur Gaston Doumergue
1934. Fine. 1934 1 page in-8 en feuilles Autograph manuscript by the author of 1 page in-8vo presumably unpublished. Incomplete recto-only manuscript in dense handwriting with some corrections and additions on the verso of a printed record of subscriptions to the Journal des Débats period from May 1934 to May 1935. This text by Maurice Blanchot was probably written shortly after the resignation of the President of the Council and former President of the Republic Gaston Doumergue which occurred on November 8 1934. The young man was then editor-in-chief at the Journal des Débats and this manuscript appears to be a draft article devoted to Doumergue's career which presumably remained unpublished after his departure from the government where he had been called in the aftermath of the February 1934 demonstrations. It is among the rare manuscripts from this period still preserved: Blanchot indeed destroyed most of his writings from the 1930s renouncing his active and political participation in the extreme right-wing press. In this text Blanchot praises Doumergue's talents as a politician: ""Toute la carrière de Doumergue est marquée par une progression constante. Elle va par un perfectionnement remarquable vers le moment de sa vie où il tentera non seulement de gouverner mais d'améliorer les moyens du gouvernement. C'est cette sorte de dialectique qui le met à part comme homme et comme homme d'Etat."" ""Doumergue's entire career is marked by constant progression. It moves through remarkable improvement toward the moment in his life when he will attempt not only to govern but to improve the means of government. It is this sort of dialectic that sets him apart as a man and as a statesman."" Rare manuscript from the 1930s. unknown

Maurice BLANCHOT
Les romans de Sartre. Manuscrit autographe
1945. Fine. 1945 - 19 pages 1/2 in-8 Autograph manuscript of the author of 19 pages and a half in-8 published in the October issue No. 10 of L'Arche Complete two-sided manuscript very dense writing with many erasures corrections and additions. Since the 1930s Maurice Blanchot regularly devotes articles to Jean-Paul Sartre and especially to his novels. The publication of the first two volumes of the trilogy The paths of freedom was to give rise to the almost simultaneous publication of a rather short chronicle in Dimanche paysage No. 19 October 21 1945 and this large study entitled ""The Novels of Sartre "". This one which goes beyond the circumscribed frame of the literary news intends to analyze what makes the specificity of these works namely the use of the ""thesis"": ""One can wonder why the thesis novel has bad reputation"" . Grievances seem as numerous on the side of the thesis as on the side of the novel; the theoretical affirmation complains of the adventure to which it is committed and from which it derives an additional truth. . In a novel of this kind we reproach the characters for being lifeless but it is ""the idea"" that is lifeless: it only looks like itself it has only its own sense . . "" Therefore Blanchot salutes Sartre's meeting of exceptional philosophical as well as literary capacities while underlining that it is also the fruit of his time: ""It is true that fiction works are more and more besieged by theoretical aims and that theoretical works are more and more a call to problems that require a complete expression. Existentialists or not novelists and philosophers pursue similar experiments and research . . "" Moreover he praises Sartre's ability to make his novels both an experience in itself and ""the story of an experience"" an essential concept for Blanchot and which had emerged as one of the central themes of his first critical collection False Pas 1943. And it is this same quality that he lends by the way to Simone de Beauvoir's Guest a ""remarkable work"" . Thus at the end of a reflection which reveals the admiration of Blanchot for the Sartrean novel and particularly for Nausea composed at the same time as his Thomas the Obscure he concludes: ""In short could not it be possible not that the novel was much less the enemy of the thesis than it is said ""The manuscript and multiple deletions and additions then reflects the hesitation of Blanchot in formulating the end of his demonstration yet clear in the finished text"" This only: to respect the status of bad faith that is its morality it to recognize a power of transformation of crystallization by the transparency of discovery through exposure which is its reality and finally having formed of its substance existing only by its duration to triumph by disappearing according to the movement proper to art to recover in affirmation and to fulfill itself in failure - which is its truth. "" The text will be repeated with some corrections in La Part du Feu 1949. unknown

Maurice BLANCHOT - (Alfred JARRY)
Un roman de Jarry. - Manuscrit autographe et tapuscrit signé complets • A Novel by Jarry – Complete Autograph Manuscript and Signed Typescript
s. l. Paris: S. n. Journal des débats 1944. Fine. S. n. Journal des débats s. l. • Paris s. d. 1944 13.50 x 21.50 cm 2 1/2 pages in-8 Autograph manuscript by the author two and a half pages in octavo published in the issue of April 13 1944 of the Journal des Débats. Complete recto-verso manuscript in a very dense hand with numerous deletions corrections and additions. Accompanied by the complete signed typescript. A review published on the occasion of the posthumous release of Jarry’s novel La Dragonne. In this review devoted to Alfred Jarry and Père Ubu Maurice Blanchot examines the confusion between the two and its consequences: « . on peut penser que Jarry en s'entêtant à être le Père Ubu a pendant sa vie gaspillé une partie de ses ressources d'écrivain et après sa mort égaré le jugement littéraire sur sa véritable valeur. » Yet this confusion testifies to the coherence of the author: « Chez Jarry le choix d'un masque aussi peu flatteur a un sens fort clair. Il y a d'abord une volonté de mettre à mal tout sérieux et particulièrement cette volonté même ; il n'est pas question de tracer des frontières au ridicule ; on rit d'abord de soi on en rit parce que ce rire n'est qu'un écho du vide. Et puis ce double grotesque que l'auteur revendique comme une représentation dont il est fier affirme sa complicité pleine de défi avec les travers qu'il caricature. » La Dragonne Jarry’s final work then issued by Gallimard would therefore strike Blanchot for « le sérieux avec lequel Jarry a accepté son métier de romancier » while he also praised « les soudains mouvements d'imagination poétique qui dérangent le plan ». The only monographic text Blanchot devoted to Jarry. Between April 1941 and August 1944 Maurice Blanchot published in the ""Chronique de la vie intellectuelle"" of the Journal des Débats 173 articles on newly released books. In a half page of newspaper around seven octavo pages the young author of Thomas l'obscur made his first steps in literary criticism thereby inaugurating the theoretical work he would later develop in numerous essays from La Part du feu to L'Entretien infini and L'Écriture du désastre. From the very first articles Blanchot displayed an acuity of analysis far surpassing the literary news that occasioned his writing. Oscillating between classics and moderns major writers and minor novelists his reviews laid the foundations of a critical thought that would shape the second half of the 20th century. Transformed by writing and by the war Blanchot gradually broke through a thinking exercised ""in the name of the other"" with the violent Maurrassian certainties of his youth. Not without paradox he turned literary criticism into a philosophical act of intellectual resistance to barbarism at the very heart of a newspaper ""ouvertement maréchaliste"": ""Brûler un livre en écrire sont les deux actes entre lesquels la culture inscrit ses oscillations contraires"" Le Livre in Journal des Débats January 20 1943. In 2007 the Cahiers de la NRF gathered under the direction of Christophe Bident all the literary reviews not yet collected in volume form along with this perceptive analysis of Blanchot’s critical work: ""romans poèmes essais donnent lieu à une réflexion singulière toujours plus sûre de sa propre rhétorique livrée davantage à l'écho de l'impossible ou aux sirènes de la disparition. . Non sans contradictions ni pas de côté et dans la certitude fiévreuse d'une œuvre qui commence . ces articles révèlent la généalogie d'un critique qui a transformé l'occasion de la chronique en nécessité de la pensée."" C. Bident. Autograph manuscripts by Maurice Blanchot are of the utmost rarity. S. n.[ Journal des débats] unknown

Maurice BLANCHOT - (Marcel PROUST)
L'expérience de Proust. Manuscrit autographe complet • The Proust Experience. Complete Autograph Manuscript
1943. Fine. 1943 21 x 13 cm en feuilles Autograph manuscript by the author four and a half pages in octavo published in the issue of Journal des Débats dated 12 May 1943. Complete recto-verso manuscript in a dense hand featuring numerous deletions corrections and additions. A literary column written on the occasion of the publication of Ramon Fernandez’s book À la gloire de Proust. It was to Maurice Blanchot that his friend Emmanuel Levinas owed his discovery of the work of Marcel Proust which he deeply admired despite Charles Maurras’s condemnation—a judgment that at first failed to turn him away from it. What Blanchot valued most in Proust was his at times fluid rhythm and his remarkable sense of the scene. Placing him within his literary pantheon alongside the Marquis de Sade and Franz Kafka Blanchot was drawn in the early 1940s to the very nature of the experience Proust conveyed in his novels: « L'œuvre de Proust est sortie d'états mystérieux qui semblent ne lui avoir été proposés que pour que cette œuvre fût écrite. Ils ont servi de stimulant à une extraordinaire avidité de connaître et eux qui étaient d'abord une rupture de connaissance ont fourni un aliment inépuisable à la connaissance littéraire. Cependant ce n'est pas l'aspect le moins surprenant du Temps perdu que dans le flot d'images d'événements de théories de figures dont ils ont été par abus la source ces états aient gardé la valeur d'un secret en continuant selon le pouvoir qui leur était propre à paraître toujours plus mystérieux que l'œuvre elle-même pourtant toute chargée de mystères. C'est en cela que Proust n'a pas trahi la révélation qu'il a rencontrée et dont il a offert l'image à la plus étendue et la plus admirable comme pour montrer qu'elle ne l'épuisait pas. » The text later revised would become part of the opening section of Faux Pas 1943 devoted to what Blanchot regarded as the fundamental question of inner experience. A very clean manuscript reflecting Blanchot’s clarity of thought on Proust. unknown

Maurice BLANCHOT
Sade ou le Royaume de l'Unique Quelques remarques sur Sade - Manuscrit autographe complet
s. l.: S. n. 1946. Fine. S. n. s. l. S.d 1946 - en feuilles Complete autograph manuscript of 12 pages on 6 octavo leaves with a title difficult to decipher perhaps: ""Sade or the Kingdoms of the Unique"" and which would appear under the title ""Some Remarks on Sade"" in Critique no. 3-4 of August-September 1946. Manuscript with very dense writing containing numerous deletions corrections and additions. ""It is Sade's thought that pushes Blanchot's to its fulfillment and it is also Blanchot's that fulfills that of Sade."" Georges Bataille Bataille's writing and friendship are undoubtedly not unrelated to the importance that Blanchot would attach throughout his life to this tutelary figure of his philosophical reflection. These Some Remarks on Sade are nonetheless the first study that Blanchot devoted to this writer whom he had until then almost never mentioned. In this first impartial and sometimes severe analysis Blanchot emphasizes the weaknesses of Sade's literary posture and his relative immorality within a post-revolutionary society shaped by ideological contradictions. However beneath the artifice of extreme expression Blanchot reveals a philosophy far more disconcerting and subversive than these ""great extravagances"". With singular acuity he draws the portrait of a unique mind embracing all the great ideals of his time but inflicting upon them the filter of his nihilistic singularity: ""Freedom in his eyes is nothing but the prohibition made to any person from being anything other than what he wants that is to say nothing."" Under Blanchot's pen Sadism is then no longer the enjoyment of violence inflicted on others but the expression of ""the infinite solitude of the individual"" in a world ""where the relationships between beings the general forms of life and even language everything is already consumed in universal destruction""; ""and henceforth all particular cruelties are no longer destined . except to bring to the Unique the pleasant proofs of his existence in the midst of nothing."" If as Bataille emphasizes more than a fresh perspective Blanchot's reading of Sade reveals a community of thought it is undoubtedly through the conclusion of this first major study that Blanchot the solitary most clearly testifies to his attachment to Sade the Unique: ""And then one comes to think: if circumstances made Sade a man forever reduced to the misery of an eternal prison he himself knew how to make his prison the image of the solitude of the universe over which reigns his sole glory forever all-powerful. This prison does not hinder him it is his work it is commensurate with the world over which he has more rights than God himself for not only does he reign there as master but he has banished and excluded all creatures from it. Such is the advantage of the Destroyer over the Creator. This atheist is more God than God. Thus he is called divine."" S. n. unknown
