268891896. 3 pages in-4 à l'encre violette avec placards. . Manuscrit autographe signé. Bel article sur Mounet-Sully paru dans Le Journal du 7 juin 1896 puis recueilli dans Gens de théâtre 1924. Beau manuscrit d’un article cinglant publié dans Le Journal du 7 juin 1896 repris ensuite dans Gens de théâtre 1924 : Mirbeau y raconte avec sa verve satirique une visite à Mounet-Sully à qui il rapporte le « blasphème » de Catulle Mendès — ce dernier dans un texte intitulé Le Vrai Hamlet reprochant à l’acteur d’incarner non pas l’Hamlet de Shakespeare mais une vision « romantique » héritée de Delacroix. Le « grand tragédien » écoute impassible puis laisse tomber d’une voix « de gouffre » la riposte devenue mot-de-passe de la chronique : « Décidément il y a quelque chose de pourri dans le Danemark de la littérature ». Tout Mirbeau est là : le théâtre vu par le prisme du tempérament la pointe qui démasque les postures et l’art du portrait instantané — jusqu’à cette provocation paradoxale où l’on soutient qu’« à quoi bon des pièces puisqu’il y a la voix les gestes et les dents » de Mounet-Sully. La pièce s’inscrit aussi dans une histoire littéraire vécue : Mirbeau et Mendès amis en 1896 s’étaient naguère croisés l’épée à la main duel « courtois » du 29 décembre 1884 avant que Mirbeau n’en fasse amende honorable dans ses Impressions littéraires 1888 ; et c’est encore à Mendès que Mirbeau confiera bien plus tard le premier jet de Les Affaires sont les affaires.

12231Paris : Bibliothèque-Charpentier 1913. First edition limited to 175 numbered copies; the present copy is one of 150 printed on papier de Hollande copy no. 121. Tall octavo original wrappers 422 pp a fine uncut copy. Text in French. The final novel by the French writer Octave Mirbeau Dingo was completed by his colleague Léon Werth. The story is a disturbing allegory of the violent unpredictability and murderous impulses that lurk deep within the human psyche the protagonist being a wild dingo whose existence within contemporary French society is described through the first-person narrative of his owner. The chief redeeming quality of the animal is however one that is often lacking in common human behaviour: the dingo's spontaneous interractions with its immmediate environment are instinctive and truthful neither denying the creature's real desires nor masking its own identity. Mirbeau paints the dingo as a paradox of outward savagery and profound harmony a depiction which perhaps comes close to inverting our general perception of so-called civilised humanity. Two copies of the first edition are recorded in Australian collections National Library of Australia; State Library of New South Wales. The SLNSW copy is also a numbered copy on papier de Hollande; however the NLA catalogue entry does not specify a paper type or number. unknown
