1943ref. 483281943. 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 Fernandezs 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 Maurrass condemnationa 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'uvre de Proust est sortie d'états mystérieux qui semblent ne lui avoir été proposés que pour que cette uvre 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'uvre 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 Blanchots clarity of thought on Proust. unknown

1904ref. Pro4PROUST Jeanne WEIL 1849-1905 5th December 1904 original period film print. Round photography 159 cm diameter mounted on thick paper frame in the photographer's name.Tiny spot on lower margin of the mounting small stainStamp on verso from collection Suzy Mante-Proust collection One of Jeanne Weil Proust's last portraits less than a year before her death This portrait was taken on December 5th 1904. At this time aged 56 years old Proust's mother has been a widow for a year. The translation of his son's The Bible of Amiens was published that same year. She died of nephritis a year later on September 26 1905. Nadar did process her portrait and removed the shadows and various flaws on her face. Michel Schneider notes that the narrator's mother in the Search is obviously inspired by the mother of the author himself. Jeanne Proust was born Jeanne Weil in 1849 from a Jewish family of the enlightened bourgeoisie. Much has been said about the intellectual complicity that united her with elder son. Marcel Proust who during his mother's lifetime wrote only beautifulthings in the spirit of the time Pleasures and Days will not become the novelist of the Search until after the death his mother an event that has somehow freed his creation. In the novel the grief he felt at his death is shifted to that of the grandmother and that of Albertine. In the Search Mom doesn't die she is also mentioned more than 500 times.

Envoi signé : « À Monsieur Fernand Divoire témoignage de vive sympathie Marcel Proust ». . Ce second volume du cycle Guermantes publié un an après le premier marque un tournant : le décor mondain commence à se fissurer laissant place aux obsessions du narrateur - le deuil le désir le vertige du temps. Les salons aristocratiques deviennent les antichambres du rêve les personnages des effigies troublées. Albertine et Charlus s'installent au coeur du roman prélude aux révélations de Sodome et Gomorrhe qu'il introduit. La fameuse scène du dîner chez les Guermantes y côtoie l'épisode des souliers rouges ou encore les premières hallucinations sensuelles autour d'Albertine annonçant La Prisonnière. La parution du volume est attendue et Proust ne ménage si ses efforts ni sa plume pour faire parvenir des exemplaires à ses proches tout au long de cette fin d'année 1920 le plus souvent sur des exemplaires portant mentions d'éditions comme ici - mais l'exemplaire Divoire est bien sur un exemplaire à la bonne date du 30 avril ce que peu d'entre eux possèdent.

Childhood friends and students of Lycée Condorcet Marcel Proust and Robert Dreyfus founded the magazine Le Banquet in 1892 with some of their classmates including Daniel Halévy. Will appear eight numbers that contain the first steps in literature of one and the other. In 1907 Dreyfus when he wrote this letter to Proust imbued with deep sympathy is a noted author for his essays: The Life and the prophecies of Count Gobineau published two years earlier earned him a prize from the French Academy . Proust meanwhile is then working on the writing of his great work In Search of Lost Time but still has a modest reputation as a writer. The friendship between the two men crosses the decades as evidenced by their correspondence started in 1888 and continued until 1920. Well inspired Dreyfus will preserve preciously the letters of Proust who after the death of this one will allow him to write a precious book for the Proustians Souvenirs on Marcel Proust accompanied by unpublished letters 1926: ""Is it a consolation to think: if he had been better . he would not have written these letters where the flares of his mind still sparkle.

1918ref. Proust21PROUST Marcel 1871-1922 Autograph letter signed " Marcel Proust " to Marie Scheikévitch Paris 21st November 1918 4 p. in-8° With autograph envelope stamped and obliterated Clipper mark previously mounted see scans Having just been informed that Marie Scheikévitch had survived the Spanish flu Proust hastens to write to the lady who had once helped him with the publication of Swann's way " Chère Madame Quelle tristesse d'apprendre que vous avez été si malade quelle tristesse supplémentaire de ne l'apprendre que maintenant de n'avoir pu être triste pendant que vous souffriez puisque je ne savais rien. Comment ne l'ai-je pas su Probablement parce que j'ai vu si rarement la Princesse Soutzo et au milieu de tant de monde et c'est elle qui vient de me l'apprendre. C'est d'une manière rétrospective maintenant que vous êtes guérie qu'il me faut par l'imagination remonter en sens inverse de votre calvaire dormir ou plutôt ne pas dormir vos nuits de fièvre. La condition humaine est si perfidement méchante que comme si ce n'était pas assez pénible pour moi d'avoir à m'attrister sur vous avec mon amitié d'aujourd'hui le passé de votre souffrance me rend pour un moment mon amitié plus vive qu'il y a un an. C'est avec celle-là que je compatis à tous les malaises que vous avez eus ce qui me force à donner une force maximum de compassion alors que celle que dicterait le feuillet actuel du calendrier de mon amitié serait déjà assez triste ! Enfin vous êtes guérie Dieu merci. Et quelles jolies choses vous avez dû penser durant les heures délicieuses et neuves de convalescence. Votre respectueux ami Marcel Proust " An intimate of Proust who did much effort in using her network for the publication of the first volume of The Search : Marie Scheikevitch 1882-1964 was the daughter of a wealthy Russian magistrate and art collector who settled in France in 1896. George D. Painter described her as "one of the smartest and most prominent ladies of the new generation." Patron of artists and writers she frequented salons and then founded her own. She was friends with Jean Cocteau Anna de Noailles Reynaldo Hahn the Arman de Caillavet family among others. A feeling of singular quality united Marcel Proust to Marie Scheikévitch. Although they met briefly in 1905 in Mme Lemaire's salon it was in 1912 that they really get to know eachother. There followed a correspondence that lasted until 1922 the year of the writer's death. Seeing each other "almost every day" as she would later say friends writing all the less as they see each other more we know only 28 letters from Proust addressed to her. She opened to him the doors of her salon frequented by all that Paris had of illustrious personalities in literature and arts so that he paid tribute to her in Sodome et Gomorrhe under the veil of Madame Timoléon d'Amoncourt "a charming little woman of a spirit like her beauty so ravishing that only one of the two would have succeeded in pleasing ". A fervent admirer of the writer she spent a great deal at the time of the publication of the first volume of The Search trying everything to put Proust in touch with the Parisian personalities she considered most capable of helping him. It was she who recommended him to her lover Adrien Hébrard the influential director of the newspaper Le Temps to obtain the famous interview of November 12 1913 by Élie-Joseph Bois on the eve of Swann's publication: This was the first significant article published in the major press and devoted to The Search. To thank her Proust sent her a major inscription recently acquired by the BnF when Swann was published. Born Hélène Chrissoveloni Princess Soutzo 1879-1975 was introduced to Marcel Proust on March 4 1917 at the Larue restaurant through Paul Morand whom the latter would marry ten years later in 1927. The meeting between Proust and the princess remained memorable the writer having suggested that she bring together the Poulet quartet at the Ritz to perform César Franck Journal d'un attaché d'ambassade 1916-1917 1963 Gallimard 1996 p. 171-172; Journal inutile t.
