1925réf. 87317Château de Lutaines Cellettes 1925. Fine. And how much this emotion is heightened when the author of this book is our friend when we have conversed familiarly with him and when he is close to us by what has been attributed to him as transient and temporal and close to God by what in him henceforth as eternal has begun! Château de Lutaines Cellettes juin 1925 21 x 27 cm 17 pages sur 5 doubles feuillets Original autograph signed and dated manuscript by Paul Claudel for his preface to Jacques Rivière's 'A la trace de Dieu'. Seventeen and a half pages in black ink on five double leaves. A few words crossed out and rewritten. Horizontal fold some foxing to the first page pencil notes by a bibliographer on the last blank page. The preface dated June 1925 first appeared in Le Correspondant on September 25 1925 then with Rivière's Carnets published the same year by his wife under the title 'A la trace de Dieu' Gallimard pp. 9-24. Complete manuscript of Paul Claudel's moving preface to the notebooks kept by Jacques Rivière during his captivity in WW1. The writer pays homage to a book which would have become a treatise on Christian Apologetics - had its author not met an untimely death at the age of 39. As early as 1907 Claudel had played an important role in his conversion and religious journey. He kept up a correspondence with the young critic now director of Gallimard's prestigious Nrf until his sudden death in 1924. In the manuscript he introduces Rivière's writings from his three years in the Knigsbrück and Hülseberg prison camps after his capture during the Battle of Eton in August 1914. In the form of notes he intended for prisoner reunions it contains a profound reflection on the search for God and the means to encounter Him. Although fo or Jacques Rivière ""God remains a fact"": after a long theological quest and many reversals he had reached the pinnacle of his faith during the war years. The deaths of his friends and writers Alain-Fournier and Péguy piety of his wife Isabelle and feeling of being supported by God during those difficult days all contributed to giving him a living faith which the poet-playwright Claudel celebrates in these beautiful pages. Rivière recognized the presence of a personal God in his life and believed in the value of prayer and self-discipline to which Claudel had urged him from their earliest exchanges. These Carnets are the ultimate proof of Claudel's influence: ""Rivière's end was completely illuminated by the doctrine revealed to him by the great Christian poet"" Paul Beaulieu. Claudel devotes magnificent passages to Rivière's communion on Christmas Day 1913 which publicly marked his return to Catholicism: ""All I can say is that Jacques Rivière's life seems to me to be one of those that cannot be explained solely by itself but by the good or bad teaching it contains because it is the type in which a host of others are realized and informed that it has the value of a parable. It is the best illustration of that Providence whose hand he never ceased to feel upon him that humble gentle Providence always present and always unexpected infinitely patient ingenious and artistic of which he spoke so well. It was this Providence that led this good soul through the pilgrimage of Intelligence from the confusion of adolescence to that Christmas day in 1913 when in an act of deference to the most extravagant theories from Darwin to Freud which presented themselves to them with the character of the latest fashion in which the noble deliberation of judgment had more share than the exigency of feeling he came to kneel at the feet of the holy priest of Clichy"". The preface doubling as a eulogy reflects the dialogue between father and spiritual son. Despite their disagreements Claudel admired Rivière's thinking and his objective vision of the Catholic Church in relation to secular society - without seeing it as the guardian of social conservatism like far-right writers like Maurras or Barrès: ""Among J unknown

1914réf. 75520Paris: Georges Cres Coll. coréenne composée sous la direction de Victor Segalen 1914. One of 750 numbered copies. Two octavo volumes paginated continuously. 226 pp. with text printed in two columns and with 61 large opening letters printed in red and black and meant to imitate a Chinese seal. Pages are all french-fold to simulate a Chinese book. String-tied wrappers. Housed in the original folding case with ivory clasps. A bit of wrinkling to the overlay leaf but the entire production by Victor Segalen is quite impressive.Connaissance de L'Est Knowledge of the East first published in 1900 is a collection of prose poems by Paul Claudel almost all composed in China between July 1895 and October 1899 when Claudel was appointed alternate consul in Shanghai. The poems in this collection are grouped into two unequal parts. Published in 1900 at the Mercure de France then in an expanded edition in 1907 the purpose of the book was to allow the newcomer to get to know this eastern country where he had just settled. Hence these texts on what we would today call Chinese culture: gardens theatre ideograms… Hence also the descriptions of exotic trees animals or landscapes. In August of 1913 Claudel gave Victor Segalen whom he had met in Beijing permission to republish his prose poems. The pages of this reissue were printed on one side folded in half and sewn in the oriental fashion. The two volumes were presented in a box covered with blue silk and equipped with tabs.Victor Segalen though largely forgotten today was a real force in his age. "French writer Victor Segalen was born in Brest on January 14 1878. After solid classical studies with the Jesuits he studied medicine in Brest Rennes and Bordeaux and became a naval doctor in 1902. His thesis entitled Les Cliniciens ès lettres in which he studied the medical documentation of certain naturalist writers. He detached a chapter from it: Les Synesthesias et l'école symboliste a vigorous plea in favor of the symbolists was published in the Mercure de France of April 1902.Meeting Joris-Karl Huysmans in 1899 and later Remy de Gourmont gave him access to the environment of the Mercure de France. His first post on the sloop "La Durance" in Tahiti from January 1903 convinced him from the outset that Polynesian civilization was threatened with death by European influence and by the carelessness of its peoples. Seeing the paintings and reading the writings of Paul Gauguin who had died recently in Hiva-Oa made him understand from the inside what the sensual and joyful life of the Polynesians had once been like. An article published in the Mercure de France in June 1904 Gauguin and much later a Tribute to Gauguin in 1918 testify to his admiration. Back in France in February 1905 he published Les Immémoriaux in 1907 under the pseudonym of Max-Anély. In this carefully documented book under a romantic and poetic fabrication Segalen showed how under political and religious pressure from Europe the Polynesians "the Immemorial" had come to forget their sacred words their gods their sensual search for happiness. It was Segalen's way of putting his ideas on exoticism into practice by letting Maori reciters speak pretending to adopt their values. In this he showed himself to be a precursor of modern ethnologists. The book moreover is the expression of his violent revolt against his rigorous moral and religious education. It had begun in Bordeaux but the Tahitian facilities the influence of Nietzsche and the example of Gauguin ranked among the "outlaws" with Rimbaud on whom he published a study Le Double Rimbaud had him singularly reinforced.His passion for music very much fostered by his family and his admiration for Debussy led him to meet the Master to whom he unsuccessfully offered the libretto of Siddhartha inspired by the tenets of Buddhism. However Debussy suggested that he write an Orpheus instead. They worked on it together but Orphée-Roi will only appeared in 1921 after the death of the musician and the poet. It is with China that Segalen according to Jouve quoting Rimbaud "finds the place and the formula". Appointed student interpreter for the navy he arrived in Beijing in June 1909 met Paul Claudel in Tien-Tsin for whom he felt more literary admiration than religious sympathy and undertook a great expedition to central China and Japan which lasted nine months. This lengthy stay in Asia gave rise the great works of Segalen as poet. Steles 1912 and 1914 a collection of forty-eight poems — sixty-four in the second edition — is externally and internally presented in Chinese style. But exoticism here only serves as an alibi. Neither translations nor adaptations these poems actually express the secret universe of the poet his opinions his feelings his travel experiences. By the detour of China by what he calls allegory they suggest notions too pure to fall under the cut of words. The unspeakable the invisible the unheard of haunt the stelae of the "Middle" in particular.With Paintings 1916 leaving behind the dense and concentrated style of lapidary inscriptions Victor Segalen opted to describe or recreate through spoken language Taoist paintings a long roll of silk portraits of decadent emperors. These are prose poems to be put on the same level as Rimbaud's Illuminations and Claudel's Conférence de l'Est. This poet was also a sinologist and an archaeologist. The official archaeological mission formed by Victor Segalen Gilbert de Voisins and Jean Lartigue discovered in 1914 the oldest Chinese monumental statue and identified the burial site of Emperor Ts'in Che-Houang whose exploration was to be sixty years later. the greatest discovery of the century.
