188586741Cannes 1885. Fine. ""Je veux aller voir Naples et descendre jusqu'à la Sicile"" I want to go see Naples and go down to Sicily Cannes s. d. 8 mars 1885 11.10 x 17.20 cm une page et quart sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter signed by Guy de Maupassant to critic Vittorio Pica. 1¼ pages in black ink on two pages of a bifolium with his manuscript heading ""Cannes. Villa mon plaisir"". Accompanying autograph envelope with a lack due to opening. Discrete sepia ink offsetting on the first leaf from another Maupassant letter. Charming letter from Maupassant with failing eyesight announcing his journey to Italy which he would make the following month in the company of painter Henri Gerveix and Henri Amix. He addresses this letter and his short story Yvette to Neapolitan literary critic Vittorio Pica who published numerous studies in Italian literary reviews Fantasio Napoli Letteraria and La Tavola Rotonda on the writer's masterpieces including Mademoiselle Fifi Pot-Bouille Une Vie and Bel-Ami. Overwhelmed by visual troubles Maupassant felt the need for perpetual forward flight and made his grand tour of the Côte d'Azur and Mediterranean in the 1880s of which he would publish his impressions in the form of chronicles. ""Mon cher Confrère Excusez si je ne vous écris jamais mais j'ai les yeux si malades que la seule pensée d'écrire dix lignes me torture. J'ai l'intention d'ailleurs de faire plus et d'aller vous serrer la main dans le courant d'avril. Je veux aller voir Naples et descendre jusqu'à la Sicile. Je serai heureux de vous dire toute la reconnaissance que je vous ai pour votre si cordiale confraternité. Je me demande si vous avez reçu Yvette souligné plusieurs fois. Dans tous les cas j'en ai encore un exemplaire ici je vous l'adresse en le recommandant car les employés des Postes sont plus que suspects. ."" The month following this letter Maupassant would traverse with his companions the Ligurian Riviera Savona Genoa then Venice then Naples and its gulf: ""Naples et ses habitants indisciplinés le séduisent davantage. Le désordre et la saleté de la ville l'amusent. Il félicite le laxisme avec lequel ce peuple du soleil appréhende la vie"" Cosimo Campa Maupassant. We do not know if he would finally shake hands with his Neapolitan correspondent Vittorio Pica. The latter was interested very early in French naturalist and symbolist movements: ""Curieux de tous les mouvements d'avant-garde il s'était d'abord occupé des naturalistes - il a entretenu des rapports suivis avec Maupassant Huysmans et Zola - ensuite il s'intéressa aux symbolistes à Mallarmé et à Verlaine surtout auxquels il a consacré des études d'une justesse admirable"" Petralia Bibliographie de Rimbaud en Italie cit. p. 37. Collaborator of the most prestigious national and international reviews of modernist tendency he was one of the first founders of the Venice Biennale of which he would be secretary general from 1920 to 1926. Aesthetic letter from the wandering writer to a great admirer of his works. unknown

Half brown sheepskin spine with four raised bands framed in blind and decorated with gilt floral motifs some rubbing to the spine marbled paper boards marbled paper endpapers and flyleaves modest contemporary binding. Rare signed and inscribed copy by Guy de Maupassant to the Baron de Vaux who inspired the character of Bel-Ami: To Baron de Vaux / his friend / Guy de Maupassant. Maupassant and De Vaux knew each other from their time working at the newspaper Gil Blas where more than half of the short stories in Contes de la bécasse were published. The baron occupied the first office on the left as you entered. The main piece of furniture was the divan. When pretty visitors came to see him he would ostentatiously bolt the door Armand Lanoux Maupassant le Bel-Ami. This scandalous character and former cavalry officer wrote sports articles and front-page reports for Gil Blas which he signed Le Diable boiteux after Lesage's famous character. In the same year he gifted him this copy of Contes de la bécasse Maupassant dedicated to De Vaux the short story Un Sage published in a December issue of Gil Blas. The Baron de Vaux was one of the main inspirations for Georges Duroy the famous character from Bel-Ami: de Vaux had invented his title and had become an important man on the Boulevard. A specialist in horse riding shooting and hunting regular of the Café des Variétés he was the baron of blackmail' he knew all the scandals in Paris. He published a short study on weapons which Guy de Maupassant also prefaced. The baron described Maupassant himself as 'first-rate at cane and boxing tireless in this exercise for which his Herculean muscles are wonderfully suited' Armand Lanoux. A fine token of friendship from Maupassant to the baron of blackmail a member of the colorful and boastful crowd of Gil Blas and model for Bel-Ami. ED. Rouveyre et G. Blond hardcover
