1948réf. 871601948. Fine. ""Pour moi l'amitié des assasins n'est pas l'amitié . tant pis si l'on me juge esclave et qu'on me juge sans coeur !"" For me the friendship of assassins is not friendship . too bad if I am judged a slave and judged heartless! s. d. 1948 21 x 30 cm 8 pages et demi sur 9 feuillets Exceptional autograph manuscript by Louis Aragon entitled ""Chronique de la pluie et du beau temps pour Europe mai"". 8 and a half pages in blue ink on 9 uniformly browned leaves. Numerous deletions and rewritings. Published in Europe no 29 May 1948 and does not appear in the book collecting these chronicles E.F.R. 1979. Superb nine-page militant profession of faith published in the anti-fascist literary review Europe. Aragon finds himself courted after the war in the name of ""friendship"" and ""freedom"" by various reviews but categorically refuses to publish alongside writers with Pétainist tendencies. The writer delivers his impressions after a radio interview in Belgium and meditates on ""two abstract monsters: freedom and friendship"" perverted at will in this early Cold War period when Sovietism becomes - to his great dismay - the new fascism. Very attached to the unified discourse advocated by communism which he calls ""national truth"" this notion serves as the guiding thread of his chronicle. Aragon writes in the midst of the Kravchenko affair and remains convinced by Sovietism which remains for him the great victor over Nazism. As a great literary witness to the suffering endured during the Occupation he is alarmed by the editorial choices of reviews seeking to obtain contributions from him: one shamelessly publishes a text by Montherlant totally oblivious to the Parisian martyrs during the war while the other affectionately justifies the allegiances of many French people to Marshal Pétain. It is also the occasion for a long and beautiful analysis of the idea of nation by Aragon who is unquestionably the national poet of this century. We find there in his inspired tirades the Aragonian ideal of healthy emulation among nations turned toward progress. Beautiful pages by Aragon in the midst of the crystallization of the Eastern and Western blocs. Aragon's ambition is to honor the memory of the Resistance by choosing to ""trust words when they are used for peace"". ""La Nation qui me paraît aujourd'hui encore être le groupe le plus étendu qui puisse se porter garant d'une vérité . la radio peut et doit transmettre à son public la vérité nationale . 'Qu'entendez-vous concrètement par vérité nationale ' Me demande-t-il comme il m'aurait sûrement demandé : qu'entendez-vous en disant qu'il fait grand jour en plein midi si je l'avais dit. C'est là le mécanisme des interviews. J'ai donc pris deux exemples concrets pour expliquer à quoi sert le maniement des abstractions. Deux cas récents où j'ai eu à me mesurer avec deux monstres abstraits : la liberté et l'amitié. La liberté d'abord. On sait comment les pires ennemis de la liberté font usage d'un livre qui s'appelle : J'ai choisi la liberté donnant le bénéfice d'un préjugé favorable de ce mot à tous ceux qui trahissent leur pays quand c'est pour choisir le système capitaliste . . Une revue qui s'édite à Montréal m'avait récemment écrit pour me demander ma collaboration. Son directeur littéraire faisait appel à l'homme libre l'italique est sienne que je suis. Cette façon de distinguer par la typographie en moi la possibilité d'être parfois un homme libre parfois non m'avait un peu inquiété. J'ai voulu voir sa revue . Mon Dieu le fait que ce numéro s'ouvre par un texte de M. de Montherlant me laisse libre de ne pas parler du contexte. On sait et j'imagine que M. Victor Barbeau de Montréal n'ignore pas que M. de Montherlant est sur la liste des écrivains avec lesquels les membres du Comité National des Ecrivains se refusent à collaborer. Ce qui doit sans doute m'expliquer pourquoi M. Barbeau s'adresse en moi à l'homme libre : c'est- unknown

1914réf. 75566Grandcamp-les-Bains Grandcamp-Maisy 1914. Fine. Grandcamp-les-Bains Grandcamp-Maisy s. d. ca 1914-1920 13.50 x 21 cm une page sur un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed addressed to a correspondent whom we have not been able to identify. Written from the Grand Hôtel de Grandcamp-les-Bains Calvados in blue ink on a folded sheet of white paper. A transverse fold inherent to the posting of the letter and four small perforations affecting the text but not impeding its reading. The mention of Grandcamp-les-Bains - where Aragon seems to have been only once during the summer of his seventeenth year - and the signature - of an early form - lead us to think that the letter could have been written in the summer of 1914. Philippe Forest in his biography of Aragon confirms that it was indeed at Grandcamp-les-Bains where his family had rented fifty rooms in a large seaside hotel to accommodate family and friends that the future poet learned the news of mobilization. The handwriting less rounded than on manuscripts prior to the 1920s however seems to us later and we are therefore not in a position to confirm the date of 1914. unknown

1945réf. 641571945. Fine. s. d. 1944-1945 19.80 x 26.50 cm une feuille sous étui-chemise Exceptionally rare autograph satirical poem by Louis Aragon entitled Distiques pour une Carmagnole de la Honte written between September 1944 and February 1945. 26 lines penned in black ink on a single leaf with a note from the author in blue ink at the foot of the page. Our manuscript belongs to a group of thirteen poems composed during the first half of 1945 intended for publication in a poetry anthology Aragon published by Pierre Seghers in Paris Collection Poètes daujourdhui no. 2 20 July 1945. It was sent by Aragon as a working copy to his editor and friend Claude Roy. This autograph poem is the only known manuscript of the Distiques with neither manuscript nor proofs held in the extensive Triolet-Aragon archives at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. The autograph poem is housed in a midnight blue half-morocco folder with patterned paper boards beige lambskin doublures and a matching morocco-edged slipcase. Binding signed by Thomas Boichot. A true historical document and scathing indictment of the collaborators who sought refuge in Sigmaringen Aragons Distiques were composed during the winter of 19441945 following the publication of Musée Grévin. A quintessential example of Aragons resistance poetry this octosyllabic and ten-line verse composition denounces in no uncertain terms the leaders of the Vichy regime and their most ardent supporters. Sarcasm insult and invective fuel a vengeful poetry reminiscent of the fiery tone of Front Rouge which marked his break with surrealism. Yet the poems tone remains brisk and lively: the residents of Sigmaringen castle sing dance and play and Aragon concludes with a rousing quatrain: « Ah ça ira ça ira Les Pétain Laval tous à la lanterne Ah ça ira ça ira ça ira Les Pétain Laval tous on les pendra » borrowed from the revolutionary anthem « Ah ça ira ça ira ça ira Les aristocrates à la lanterne. Ah ! ça ira ça ira ça ira ! Les aristocrates on les pendra. » Despite numerous appeals to flee France at the outbreak of war Aragon chose to remain going underground with Elsa Triolet after serving bravely during the German offensive. The Occupation marked a period of intense activity for the writer who clandestinely published his collections of resistance poetry Le Crève-cur 1941 Les Yeux dElsa 1942 Le Musée Grévin 1943 La Diane française 1944 and under various pseudonyms poems and responses to collaborationists in the Lettres Françaises. At the same time he was commissioned by the Communist Party to rally writers and intellectuals in the southern zone where he founded a branch of the Comité National des Écrivains bringing together Stanislas Fumet Auguste Anglès Henry Malherbe and Jean Prévost. Aragons example proved that in times of war poetry could itself be a form of resistance a refusal to yield. As Claude Roy recipient of the manuscript later remarked: « La parole dAragon sélevait avec une violence et une aisance qui se répercutaient dun bout de la France à lautre. » « Ça doit avoir de la dégaine/Le château de Siegmaringen/On sy retrouve entre félons/Sous les lustres du grand salon » Aragon wrote two poems about Sigmaringen the former Swabian stronghold of the Hohenzollern family which hosted Pétain and his entourage after their flight from Vichy and Belfort. As Allied forces advanced and on orders from the Reich the Marshal and his supporters set up a puppet government there in September 1944 later replaced by the Gouvernemental Delegation for the Defence of French Interests in Germany during the wars final months. Aragon dedicates a distich to Laval who had been ousted from power by this new structure: « Laval a lair bien embêté / Dêtre en disponibilit頻. Notably Aragon adds an e to Sigmaringen likely a sardonic play on the Nazi salute Sieg Heil. For nearly eight months until April 1945 this extraterritorial enclave shelter hardcover
