Oeuvres de theatre

173636977à Paris: Chez Prault père 1736. Fine. Chez Prault père à Paris 1736 9.50 x 17 cm relié Publisher's composite collection the title pages of the various pieces spanning from 1734 to 1742; the fourth volume being dated 1745. It should be noted that the first piece of the first volume comes after the general title page without a particular title page with no apparent lack in the collation; the same applies to volume II the first piece being preceded only by a half-title while all other pieces have a particular title page this without any lack in the pagination and collation. The publisher added in each volume a leaf listing the titles of the various pieces contained in each volume. These particularities are inherent to the process employed by the publisher to form this collection of 16 pieces. Contemporary marbled full calf binding. Smooth decorated spine. Title-label and volume label in red morocco. Triple fillet frame on covers. Headcap of volume I worn. Restoration at foot of volume II. Small lacks to upper joints of volumes I II and IV. Scuffing on covers. Some corners slightly bumped. Paper more fragile on the first leaves of volume IV. Destouches' plays had undeniable success in their time some were immediately adopted by the Académie française. Destouches forms a figure of early eighteenth-century theater. Here is what Voltaire writes of him in ""Le siècle de Louis XIV"": ""One does not find in his plays the strength and gaiety of Regnard still less those depictions of the human heart that naturalness that true wit that excellent comedy which makes the merit of the inimitable Molière; but he has not failed to make a reputation after them. He has some plays that have been successful although the comedy in them is somewhat forced. He has at least avoided the genre of comedy that is merely languid of that kind of bourgeois tragedy which is neither tragic nor comic a monster born of the impotence of authors and the satiety of the public after the golden days of the century of Louis XIV. His comedy Le Glorieux is his best work and will probably remain in the theater although the character of Le Glorieux is it is said flawed; but the other characters appear to be treated superbly."" The fourth volume published in 1745 contains the entrance speech to the Académie française and Fontenelle's response. Chez Prault père unknown

190076037Paris: A. Lauga 1900. Fine. A. Lauga Paris s. d. ca 1900 14.20 x 10.50 cm une photographie Photographic portrait of Charles Destouches uncle of Louis-Ferdinand Céline pictured with his wife and their young daughter Charlotte DestouchesCélines cousin known as Lolotteon albumen paper mounted on a card from the Parisian studio A. Lauga. Small loss to lower right corner. Some glue residue along the edges. Handwritten caption on verso. The bohemian life of Uncle Charles Destouches inspired the character of Uncle Arthur in Death on Credit: Il a vécu en vrai bohème en marge de la société dans une soupente en cheville avec une bonniche. Elle travaillait au restaurant devant l'École Militaire. Grâce à ça il faut en convenir il arrivait à bien bouffer. Arthur c'était un luron avec barbiche velours grimpant tatanes en pointe pipe effilée. Il s'en faisait pas. Il donnait fort dans la 'conquête'. But the tragic true story of the death of his wife Joséphinealso shown in the photographclaimed by cholera despite the care of Dr. Proust Marcels brother reappears in the character of Uncle Rodolphe. By blending the lives of two of his uncles Céline gives Rodolphe the simple-mindedness of René and the grief of Charles Destouches who loses his mind after the death of his tubercular wife: Elle est morte dans sa chambre même au 'Rendez-vous'. Il voulait pas qu'on l'emmène. Il avait bouclé sa lourde. Il revenait chaque soir coucher à côté. C'est à l'infection qu'on s'est aperçu. Il est devenu alors furieux. Il comprenait pas que les choses périssent. C'est de force qu'on l'a enterrée. Il voulait la porter lui-même sur 'un crochet' jusqu'à Pantin. . 'Bonjour ! qu'il me faisait. Bonjour mon petit fi !. Tu la vois hein ma Rosine'.' Il me désignait plus loin que la Seine toute la plaine. un point dans la brume. 'Tu la vois' Je lui disait 'Oui'. Je le contrariais pas. A. Lauga unknown

Portrait de René Destouches oncle de Louis-Ferdinand Céline

1920760201920. Fine. circa 1930 12.50 x 17.80 cm Rare photographic portrait of René Destouches uncle of Louis-Ferdinand Céline. Photographic enlargement in a probably later printing. Inscription ""René Destouches"" on the back. René Destouches remained employed all his life in various menial jobs following a serious fall from the top of the cliff at Sainte-Adresse. Céline devoted passages to him in Mort à crédit under the features of uncle Rodolphe: ""Mais le plus cloche de la famille c'était sûrement l'oncle Rodolphe il était tout à fait sonné. Il se marrait doucement quand on lui parlait. Il se répondait à lui-même. Ça durait des heures. Il voulait vivre seulement qu'à l'air. Il a jamais voulu tâter d'un seul magasin ni des bureaux même comme gardien et même de nuit. Pour croûter il préférait rester dehors sur un banc. Il se méfiait des intérieurs. Quand vraiment il avait trop faim alors il venait à la maison. Il passait le soir. C'est qu'il avait eu trop d'échecs. La ""bagotte"" son casuel des gares c'était un métier d'entraînement. Il l'a fait pendant plus de vingt ans. Il tenait la ficelle des ""Urbaines"" il a couru comme un lapin après les fiacres et les bagages aussi longtemps qu'il a pu."" ""But the most cracked in the family was surely uncle Rodolphe he was completely punch-drunk. He would laugh quietly when you spoke to him. He would answer himself. It would go on for hours. He only wanted to live in the open air. He never wanted to try a single shop or offices even as a watchman and even at night. To get by he preferred to stay outside on a bench. He was wary of interiors. When he was really too hungry then he would come to the house. He would come by in the evening. It's because he had had too many failures. The 'bagotte' his casual work at the stations it was a training job. He did it for more than twenty years. He held the string of the 'Urbaines' he ran like a rabbit after the cabs and the luggage as long as he could."" unknown

190075327Paris: J. Couturier 1900. Fine. J. Couturier Paris s. d. ca 1900 10.30 x 15.50 cm une photographie au format carte cabinet Photographic portrait of Auguste Destouches paternal grandfather of Louis-Ferdinand Céline after a painting of the period in cabinet card format on albumen paper mounted on cardboard from J. Couturier studio. Cardboard slightly trimmed at lower margin. Handwritten caption on verso. The literature professor from Le Havre is among the recurring characters in Céline's works; this model whose career as an agrégé long resonated with the aspiring writer is powerfully evoked in the preface to Guignol's band 1944: « Faut que je vous avoue mon grand-père Auguste Destouches par son nom qu'en faisait lui de la rhétorique qu'était même professeur pour ça au lycée du Havre et brillant vers 1855. C'est dire que je me méfie atroce ! Si j'ai l'inclination innée ! Je possède tous ses écrits de grand-père ses liasses ses brouillons des pleins tiroirs ! Ah ! redoutables ! Il faisait les discours du Préfet je vous assure dans un sacré style ! Si il l'avait l'adjectif sûr ! s'il la piquait bien la fleurette ! Jamais un faux pas ! Mousse et pampre ! Fils des Gracques ! la Sentence et tout ! En vers comme en prose ! Il remportait toutes les médailles de l'Académie Française. Je les conserve avec émotion. C'est mon ancêtre ! Si je la connais un peu la langue et pas d'hier comme tant et tant ! Je le dis tout de suite ! dans les finesses ! J'ai débourré tous mes ""effets"" mes ""litotes"" et mes ""pertinences"" dedans mes couches. Ah ! j'en veux plus ! je m'en ferais crever ! Mon grand-père Auguste est d'avis. Il me le dit de là-haut il me l'insuffle du ciel au fond. ""Enfant pas de phrases !."" » ""I must confess to you about my grandfather Auguste Destouches by name who practiced rhetoric who was even a professor for that at the Le Havre lycée and brilliant around 1855. That's to say I'm terribly wary! If I have the innate inclination! I possess all my grandfather's writings his bundles his drafts whole drawers full! Ah! formidable! He wrote the Prefect's speeches I assure you in a hell of a style! How sure he was with his adjectives! how well he turned a phrase! Never a false step! Moss and vine! Sons of the Gracchi! the Sentence and all! In verse as in prose! He won all the medals of the French Academy. I keep them with emotion. He's my ancestor! If I know the language a bit and not since yesterday like so many others! I say so right away! in the subtleties! I've purged all my 'effects' my 'litotes' and my 'pertinences' in my diapers. Ah! I want no more of it! It would kill me! My grandfather Auguste agrees. He tells me so from above he breathes it into me from heaven deep down. 'Child no phrases!.'"" Guignol's band Denoël 1944 J.

Portrait photographique de la tante de Louis-Ferdinand Céline accompagnée de sa fille et son mari

187776022Bucarest Bucharest: Studio Louis 1877. Fine. Studio Louis Bucarest Bucharest 14 juin 1877 6.70 x 10 cm Rare photographic portrait of Amélie Destouches aunt of Louis-Ferdinand Céline in cabinet card format on albumen print mounted on cardboard from Studio Louis. Manuscript captions ""Suzannica 3 ans Bucarest ce 14 juin 1877"" ""Suzannica 3 years old Bucharest this 14th June 1877"" and ""Zenon Zawirski"" in another hand on verso. The portrait was taken by Studio Louis at 127 Calea Mosilor in Bucharest. At twenty-four Amélie married the wealthy Romanian Zenon Zawirski who poses beside her with their daughter Zenone Zawirska then three years old. Céline devoted an unflattering portrait to her in Death on the Installment Plan borrowing her features for the character of Aunt Hélène whose Slavic adventures he transposed to Russia rather than Romania. Though still alive when the novel was written Céline nonetheless had his character die in dishonor and shame: ""Elle a pris tout le vent dans les voiles. Elle a bourlingué en Russie. À Saint-Pétersbourg elle est devenue grue. À un moment elle a eu tout carrosse trois traîneaux un village rien que pour elle avec son nom dessus. Elle est venue nous voir au Passage deux fois de suite frusquée superbe comme une princesse et heureuse et tout. Elle a terminé très tragiquement sous les balles d'un officier. Y avait pas de résistance chez elle. C'était tout viande désir musique. Il rendait papa rien que d'y penser. Ma mère a conclu en apprenant son décès : 'Voilà une fin bien horrible ! Mais c'est la fin d'une égoïste !'"" ""She caught all the wind in her sails. She knocked around Russia. In St. Petersburg she became a whore. At one point she had everything carriage three sleighs a village all to herself with her name on it. She came to see us at the Passage twice in a row dressed up superb like a princess and happy and all. She ended very tragically under an officer's bullets. There was no resistance in her. She was all flesh desire music. It made papa sick just thinking about it. My mother concluded on learning of her death: 'What a horrible end! But it's the end of a selfish woman!'""

Issé is a pastorale but has heroic characters; Le Carnaval et la Folie is one of the first examples of a lyric comedy in France; Les élémens an opéra-ballet is clearly a prototype for the later ballet-héroïque; and Les stratagèmes de l'Amour is perhaps the only ballet-héroïque with a comic intrigue although we are assured that it is a 'noble Comedy and one that has the character of Antiquity' libretto." James R. Anthony in Grove Music Online A "remarkable figure in French musical life during the first half of the 18th century. Destouches was of aristocratic stock entitling him to entrée in circles usually closed to musicians. As a boy he was educated by the Jesuits and under their protection traveled to Siam 1687-8. Before becoming known as a composer and gaining acclaim as a musical administrator Destouches served in the king's musketeers. He left the army in 1694 to pursue a career in music studying for a time with Campra. He collaborated with his cousin the librettist Antoine Houdar de la Mott on a series of tragedies of which the pastorale-héroïque Issé 1697 and Omphale 1701 were particularly successful. When the directorship of the Académie Royale de Musique became vacant in 1712 Destouches served in the interim before being appointed inspecteur gènsmallèral in 1713. In 1728 he was finally made director." Sadie: Companion to Baroque Music p. 117.
