"Propos d'un Normand"" - Manuscrit autographe signé

1911761441911. Fine. 29 juin 1911 13.50 x 21 cm 2 pages sur un feuillet double Signed autograph manuscript by Alain bearing the title ""Propos d'un Normand"" and the mention ""sans retard"" in the upper left of the first leaf two pages written in black ink on a double sheet. This text was published in the Propos d'un Normand de 1911. Interesting manuscript written following the appointment of Adolphe Messimy to the post of Minister of War: ""Ce général ministre avait en somme très noblement répondu. Il faudra enfin décider un jour ou l'autre sans aucun mystère que la Défense Nationale est républicaine."" ""This general minister had in sum responded very nobly. We must finally decide one day or another without any mystery that National Defense is republican."" Indeed the newly elected minister sought to redefine relations between political power and military authorities. Alain reproaches the military world for its opacity ""Comment la France sera-t-elle défendue Nous n'en savons rien. . chez nous même les députés ne s'en font aucune idée."" ""How will France be defended We know nothing about it. . even our deputies have no idea."" before proposing solutions: ""Donc il faudrait qu'il soit bien entendu que chaque chef garde une large initiative dans l'exécution d'un programme déterminé. Et ce programme ne dépend pas seulement de la science militaire ; c'est aux ministres avec le conseil des grands chefs qu'il appartient de le déterminer."" ""Therefore it should be well understood that each leader retains broad initiative in executing a determined program. And this program does not depend solely on military science; it is up to ministers with the counsel of senior leaders to determine it."" From 1903 Alain published weekly chronicles titled ""Propos"" in La Dépêche de Rouen et de Normandie. More than 3000 of these ""Propos"" concise articles inspired by daily current events would appear from February 1906 to September 1914. unknown

"Protest of John Harvey & Dan. Lamond, for the loss of the Ship Cargo." Autograph document signed. Sunderland, 28 Sept. 1784.

2 pp. on bifolium. With red wax seal. Folio. Statement made by the two shipwrecked Aberdeen mariners John Harvey and Daniel Lamond before George Boyd, the Notary Public of Sunderland, detailing how they lost their vessel and cargo off Sunderland Pier in a storm: "[...] these Appearants set sail with the said ship [the 'Peggy'] from Alemouth in Scotland [i.e., Alnmouth, Northumberland] on the 27th Day of September instant about one o'Clock P.M. staunch and in good Condition, and well manned, with a Cargo of Wheat on board, and proceeded with the said Ship to Newbiggen in the County of Northumberland, when about 4 o'Clock P.M. the Sea raged very high, and the said Ship sprung a Leak [...] the water still increasing upon them, they could with the greatest Difficulty keep the said Ship above water; - when the said Ship arrived off Tynemouth Castle, these Appearants let go the Anchor of the said Ship, but the Sea, still continuing to rage with great violence, they were under the Necessity of cutting the Cable [...] these Appearants endeavored to run the said Ship for Sunderland Harbour, (they not being able to get the said Ship into Shields Harbour) but when they arrived off there (viz. about 5 o'clock A.M.) there was six feet of Water in the Hould and these Appearants finding it impossible to keep the Ship above Water any longer, were under the Necessity of running her on Shore on the South-side of Sunderland Pier, in order to save their lives [...]". - While little is known of John Harvey, Daniel Lamond later entered the Royal Navy and died in the Battle of Copenhagen on 2 April 1801, one of the nine officers and 103 men of Captain James Walker's "Isis" killed or wounded when Rear-Admiral Horatio Nelson's fleet defeated the Danish-Norwegian fleet. - Folded and with three drystamps (6d, 6d, 1s) and 8d stamp. Seal cracked. Signed by both mariners and the Notary, counter-signed by his clerks, Thomas Mewburn and James Dove.

Ionesco, Eugène, Romanian-French playwright (1912-1994).MareMagnum

"Qu'est-ce que l'avant garde en 1958". Autograph manuscript signed. N. p., [1958].

4to. 5½ pp. In French. Important text about artistic creation and the avant-garde, published in "Les Lettres françaises" of 17 April 1958 as part of the survey: "What is the avant-garde in 1958?". In Ionesco's view, art must strive to express realities that are "new and ancient, present and inopportune, living and permanent, particular, and, at the same time, universal". A label like "the avant-garde" is a mere afterthought to this goal: "To want to be part of the avant-garde before writing, not to want to be part of it, to refuse or choose an avant-garde is, for a creator, to construe things the wrong way round". For Ionesco the avant-garde is "only the current, historical expression of an inactual actuality (if I may say so), of a trans-historical reality". Therefore he is very sceptical of political art, as the work of art "is nothing if it does not transcend the temporary truths or obsessions of history". Several artists, historical and biblical figures are mentioned as examples of the "profound universalism" Ionesco is arguing for, including Buddha, Shakespeare, the Spanish mystic Juan de la Cruz, Proust, Chekhov, Brecht, and Picasso. In his own work, Ionesco tries "to say how the world appears to me, what it seems to be for me, as sincerely as possible without concern for propaganda, without intention of directing the consciences of contempraries. I try to be an objective witness in my subjectivity". The essence of his theatre is the contradictory, the absurd: "Since I write for the theatre, I am only concerned with personifying, embodying a comic and tragic sense of reality at the same time." Ionesco describes a childhood memory of a senseless act of violence which first invoked the feelings of vertigo, anguish, and transience that he tries to convey in his art: "I have no other images of the world apart from those, expressing the ephemerality and the harshness, the vanity and the anger, the nullity or hideous, useless hatred. This is how existence continued to appear to me". In closing, he aims to reconcile avant-garde and "living tradition", past and present: "One has the impression, also, that the more one is of one's time, the more one is of all times (if one breaks the crust of superficial topicality) [...] The youngest, newest works of art are recognizable and speak to all eras. Yes, King Solomon is my leader; and Job, this contemporary of Beckett". - With a stricken-out title "Avant-garde et tradition", corrections, and typograph marks. The first three pages with a tear minimally affecting the text. Some black fingerstains and stains, minor tears, and browning. Published in: Les Lettres françaises, no. 717, April 1958. Cf. M. Esslin, The theatre of the absurd (London: Eyre & Spottiswoode 1964)
