172389534Paris: Chez la Veuve Guillaume 1723. Fine. ""Almost all of them could be called 'The Surprise of Love'"" Chez la Veuve Guillaume Paris 1723 10.1 x 16 cm relié First edition. Full red morocco binding round spine with five raised bands decorated with gilt fleurons slight rubbing on the caps double frame of blind-stamped gilt fillets on the covers with fleurons at the corners of the inner frame edges slightly blunt marbled paper endpapers and back covers gilt edges and heads very elegant 19th-century binding a la Du Seuil signed Quinet on the first endpaper. Rare first edition of Chamblain de Marivaux's first theatrical success The Surprise of Love published four years before The Second Surprise of Love. This play performed in the spring of 1722 before being published the following year in 1723 already contains all the essence of Marivaux's style all its subtle gallantry. According to the Romantic poet Theophile Gautier it is the author's masterpiece. When the playwright submitted his work to the ""Italian Comedians of His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans"" who had enjoyed the protection of the regent since 1716 the troupe leader of the ""new Italian Theatre"" the renowned actor ""Ricoboni dit Lelio"" was in the process of moving away from farcical theatre in favour of more accomplished plays. Nineteen performances of Marivaux's works will be played by the Italian actors whose acting style was considered more natural than codified. One actress in particular Giovanna-Rosa Benozzi known as Silvia excelled in this art. She was preferred by her contemporaries ""to the brunette Quinault the blonde Balicourt the beautiful Clairon and the young Gaussin all of them Comédie-Française"" actresses. Her first encounter with Marivaux which turned out to be rather eccentric took place after the premiere of The Surprise of Love and was reported by biographer Gaston Deschamps. The playwright went anonymously backstage to congratulate the great actress. Faced with her unknown admirer Silvia complained that she ""did not fully grasp the subtlety of her role"". Marivaux recited a few lines from his play to which the actress replied with great admiration: ""You are either the devil or the author"". According to the Marquis d'Argenson Marivaux's comedies ""could almost all be called 'The Surprise of Love'"". This slightly ironic assessment nevertheless confirms Theophile Gautier's judgement. Indeed this sixth play by Marivaux is the true matrix of his future work and of the famous marivaudage which would culminate in 1730 with The Game of Love and Chance. A very rare copy in a beautiful a la Du Seuil binding signed by a 19th-century master bookbinder. Chez la Veuve Guillaume hardcover

Please view the enclosed photographs.</p><p>La Vie de Marianne The life of Marianne: or the adventures of the Countess of is an unfinished novel by Pierre de Marivaux and illustrated by Jakob van der Schley.</p><p>The novel was written in sections eleven of which appeared between 1731 and 1745. A Continuation was produced by Madame Riccoboni but this too is incomplete.</p><p>The success of La Vie de Marianne owes much to the perfect alignment between the author his era the characters and the readers. In this work Marvaux displayed a level of insight and eloquence that surpassed many skillfully depicting the subject with rich details that closely adhere to reality. The narrative with its intricate twists seamlessly weaves through numerous incidents intricately connected to the plot enhancing its appeal while delaying the resolution. Marivaux effortlessly portrays characters that not only resemble specific individuals but also capture the essence of people in general particularly those of his time.</p><p>La Vie de Marianne resonated with its contemporaries who enjoyed following the journey of a young orphan from humble beginnings facing challenging trials before achieving recognition and fortune even if the specifics remain unknown due to the unfinished nature of the novel.</p><p>Marivaux effectively utilized the novel genre to paint a vivid and never monotonous picture of the diverse 18th-century world. In a novel innovation intellect breathes life into the narrative alongside passion interwoven with insightful reflections seamlessly integrated into the action. Representations reflections and anecdotes charmingly intertwine enhancing each other. Characters are meticulously studied granting them tangible life.</p><p>The author's complete withdrawal from the narrative allowing Marianne to speak directly enhances the illusion and undoubtedly sustains it in the reader's mind. Marianne feels so authentic that it's challenging for the reader not to believe they are reading an account from someone who genuinely played a pivotal role in the recounted adventures.</p><p>The characters are well-defined firm and supported. Marivaux crafts his heroine as an epitome of premature reason intelligence distinction and beauty. The mystery surrounding her birth adds credibility to the attributes attributed to her intensifying the interest she evokes. Marianne embodies a mix of frankness pride and reason infused with a hint of coquetry that feels natural and effortless.</p><p>La Vie de Marianne exhibits artistry with the first-person narrative proving an excellent choice for a woman of the world to share her confidences as she reflects on the passage of time. When recounting her youthful impressions Marianne exudes the aura of a great lady. Though the years may have tempered Marianne's vivacity now a countess and introduced a touch of detachment from the habit of happiness into her expression the remarks reflections and sentiment analyses she weaves into her story would seem to cool passion if the reader imagined they came from the pen of a naive observer.</p><p>The twelfth part of La Vie de Marianne was entirely written by Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni. In her time she received praise for adeptly adopting Marivaux's style yet this impression of fidelity to the original did not endure into the modern age.</p><p>Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux 4 February 1688 – 12 February 1763 commonly referred to as Marivaux was a French playwright and novelist. He is considered one of the most important French playwrights of the 18th century writing numerous comedies for the Comédie-Française and the Comédie-Italienne of Paris. His most important works are Le Triomphe de l'amour Le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard and Les Fausses Confidences. He also published a number of essays and two important but unfinished novels La Vie de Marianne and Le Paysan parvenu.</p> Garnier Freres. hardcover
