Best.-Nr. 015246Owen Wister (1860-1938), écrivain américain, père de la « Western fiction ». L.A.S., Philadelphie, 20 mars 1903, 2p in-4. En français. Très belle lettre à un écrivain français, le troisième qui souhaitait traduire son ouvrage The Virginian. Il demande l'éditeur et lui conseil « de lire les quatre ou cinq premiers chapitres du Virginian et alors demander à [lui-même] si cela ne serait sans aucun effet dans une traduction française », précisant ainsi : « à mon avis, quand un roman a pour ses personnage des gens du monde ou bien des bourgeois, cela peut être rendu dans toute langue civilisée. Mais quand il s'agit des paysans, des êtres et des faits primitifs, alors l'art a des frontières fort infranchissables ». Il prend ainsi des exemples : Mon frère Yves, Pêcheur d'Islande, et dit encore sur son roman : « il hérisse avec des mots et des phrases fantasques et falots qui sont le souffle et le sang des Rocky Mountain cowboys, et qui me semble absolument indicibles hors de leur propre langue et leur pays sauvage ». Le roman ne semble pas avoir été traduit avant 1958. Très beau courrier. [375]
