187863560s. l. Paris 1878. Fine. s. l. Paris n.d. 14 mai 1878 9.80 x 13.40 cm un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed by Joris-Karl Huysmans addressed to Léon Cladel 40 lines written in black ink on 4 pages on a folded sheet envelope included. A 2cm tear without loss inherent to the fold of the sheet. In this caustic letter entirely imbued with Huysmanian poetic writing the author regrets that Dutch-Belgian visitors to the Universal Exhibition keep him away from the Sèvres landscapes where Léon Cladel lives. « Je sors de chez Leconte de Lisle il a reçu votre livre couleur de sang » ""I have just left Leconte de Lisle's he received your blood-colored book"". The importance of Léon Cladel's work and personality esteemed friend of the great writers of the time is perceptible from these opening lines. The « livre couleur de sang » ""blood-colored book"" witness to Huysmans' poetic force which shines through even in his private correspondence refers to l'Homme-de-la-Croix-aux-Bufs published by Edouard Dentu in 1878 a novel which was moreover reread by Flaubert also intimate with Cladel. « Je vous serre la main de tout cur mon puissant orfèvre et vous invite pour notre bonheur à tous à forger encore de belles uvres. » ""I shake your hand wholeheartedly my powerful goldsmith and invite you for all our happiness to forge more beautiful works."" Émile Zola would take up this eloquent analogy in Cladel's funeral oration: « . de ces belles uvres impeccables qu'il lançait ouvragées comme des joyaux de haut prix » "". those beautiful impeccable works he launched wrought like precious jewels"". This same year 1878 sees the Universal Exhibition settle in Paris an event which Huysmans seems compelled to attend: « c'est l'invasion hollando-belge venue pour l'exposition qui me tient et m'empêche » ""it is the Dutch-Belgian invasion come for the exhibition that holds me and prevents me"". The author's position regarding Belgium and Holland is ambiguous: Dutch through his father Huysmans makes numerous family and artistic visits to these countries and he is recognized there for his critical writings on painting. The author nevertheless prefigures here the disdain that would be found in À rebours a few years later: « Je cours à la recherche de chambres d'hôtels pour ces barbares aux toisons jaunes et le soir quand j'ai une minute de libre je les fais déambuler au travers de la capitale. Ils ouvrent des yeux comme des assiettes et jargonnent des exclamations admiratives. » ""I run in search of hotel rooms for these barbarians with yellow fleeces and in the evening when I have a free minute I make them wander through the capital. They open eyes like plates and jabber admiring exclamations."". Suffocated by the city and its society « Tout ça ça peut être drôle mais ça m'obsède singulièrement. J'espère que ça va enfin cesser et que je vais reconquérir un peu de cette pauvre liberté dont je suis si maigrement loti même en temps ordinaire » ""All that can be amusing but it obsesses me singularly. I hope it will finally cease and that I will reconquer a bit of that poor freedom of which I am so meagerly provided even in ordinary times"" Huysmans aspires to find nature again a desire which expresses itself through an elegiac exclamation: « Ah les coteaux de Sèvres ! Pardon ! » ""Ah the hills of Sèvres! Forgive me!"" A piquant letter from which emerge the themes dear to Huysmans' singular pen. unknown
189463596Paris 1894. Fine. Paris 8 février 1894 10.60 x 13.50 cm un feuillet remplié Autograph letter of Joris-Karl Huysmans signed to Camille Mauclair 44 lines written in black ink 3 pages on a folded sheet handwritten correction of the author. Two restorations using strips of paper in high and low fold of the letter the second band very slightly affects a word of the text a fold inherent in the enveloping of the letter. A long and beautiful letter in which all Huysmans' respect and interest are shown for the writings of the young Symbolist generation. Both author and literary critic Huysmans embodies a central figure for young poets like the 22-year-old Camille Mauclair who sends him one of his first poetic collections: "" The chapter on the symbol is perfect ; it is certainly the first time that we explain and with such lucidity we put things back in place. "" Heart of the symbolism and the poetic fiber of Huysmans the music of the language is particularly honored both in the lyrics and in the author's writing: "" the pieces on death on sensuality are woven into the most vivid language . and the fine writer who found the cold and ethereal absentee who wrote such sentences: ""we strive to determine our true ghost in the tumult of appearances "". "" Introduced by the mention of the myth of Narcissus Symbolist figure par excellence the letter shows the philosophical questions that underlie the movement. « Narcissus is God - It is not very beautiful to contemplate the soul . It is true that you in a melancholy return on the vanity of being have shown in a vibrant page the actors of ourselves as we are. The mystical evocations direct to Satan and more ambiguous to God echo the literary conversion of Huysmans who in 1894 prepares the writing of En Route the first part of his trilogy during direct ""black book"" that is there : ""Ah! the damn God! Really that makes me dream of a literature that feeds less his Satan as you say to a literature of humility! "" Accustomed to digressive theoretical reflections on literature Huysmans concludes his letter with: "" At bottom I am stupid to quibble over ideas because in short all the ones we express and that we will make are already in d ' other times and they are more or less new depending on whether they are more or less forgotten but what is not done before you what you own is the way to coat them. And that's where I admire you wholeheartedly because those are your sentences. "" unknown
188863597Paris 1888. Fine. Paris 20 juin 1888 12.40 x 16.70 cm un feuillet Autograph letter signed addressed to Jacques Le Lorrain from Joris-Karl Huysmans 30 lines written in black ink on 2 pages. Manuscript correction by the author. Fold inherent to the letter's mailing. Remarkable letter with sometimes obscure remarks where Huysmans emphasizes the importance and rarity of the writing craft at work in the novel Nu by the cobbler-poet Jacques Le Lorrain. « In these times when people rush books in simple language - you know as well as I what these indigences mean - it is a pleasure to see elucidated sentences labored over expression delivered with forceps ». Sharp as usual Huysmans positions himself as a fierce defender of literary writing experienced as labor which contemporary production seems to be abandoning: « this concern is too exhausted by all and despised for me not to congratulate you on your care ». Accustomed to receiving works from his colleagues Huysmans endeavors to highlight the innovative particularities of each author he receives: « Many pages are truly curious. Lorgeral on the grass closing his eyes listening to the voices - it's fresh and absolutely accurate. The scene of Juliette's armpit kissing. This work so well explained of man's jealousy for the child are particular original corners of this book whose very scrupulous style has captivated me. ». The author Huysmans distinguishes himself here always attentive to the right measure necessary according to him for literary expression: « you have managed to enhance the language to make it neither powerless nor inert. And I know how difficult and rare that is! » unknown
