190783638s. l. 1907. Fine. ""New Year's Day is just an occasion for me -- as if occasions were needed! -- to reminisce and weep"" s. l. s. d. ca 1907 12.60 x 20.40 cm 3 pages sur un double feuillet Autograph letter signed to Madame Catusse 126x204cm 3 pages on a double leaf. Autograph letter signed by Marcel Proust probably addressed to Madame Catusse. The recipient and date have been determined by Proust scholar Jean-Yves Tadié. Three pages in black ink on a double leaf edged in black. A fold inherent to the mailing. A sombre and admirable letter steeped in Proustian melancholy. The future author of In Search of Lost Time feels more than ever the loss of his mother during the New Year period. The famously generous Proust also asks his faithful confidante Madame Catusse to buy a gift for the Straus couple whose wife inspired the character of the Comtesse de Guermantes. The end of 1907 apparent date of this letter alluding to the approaching New Year marks the second holiday season spent without Madame Proust who had died two years earlier: ""New Year's Day is only an occasion for me - as if occasions were needed! -- to reminisce and weep"". Proust had also expressed this sentiment in a letter to Anna de Noailles the year before ""New Year's Day had a terrible evocative power over me. It suddenly gave me back the memories of Maman that I had lost the memory of her voice"" February 1906. This fateful moment acted on Proust like a pernicious madeleine at once a sensory reminiscence and an acute awareness of his loss. He would soon begin writing In Search of Lost Time to conjure up this mother figure whose absence would remain unbearable. For the time being Proust is busy writing a series of Pastiches for Le Figaro ""which were in reality only a penultimate detour before writing La Recherche"" George D. Painter. One of these Pastiches dealt with the swindle perpetrated on the president of De Beers in which Proust had invested. Imagining himself already ruined he mentions these unfortunate circumstances in capital letters: ""HAVE I REPORTED MY FINANCIAL DESASTERS TO YOU OVER THE TELEPHONE ."" Overwhelmed by ailments he is also plagued by one of his many asthma attacks ""provoked or exasperated by these terrible fogs"" forcing him into reclusion and even silence: ""telephoning is very dangerous for me. And I'm also very tired when it comes to writing"". The recipient Mme Catusse was a friend of Proust's mother and became an invaluable support to the writer. Proust's prolific correspondence with the woman Ghislain de Diesbach had dubbed the writer's Notre-Dame-des-Corvées represents an inexhaustible resource of insights into his secret life and fears. Proust had called her in a panic during an aphasia attack suffered by his mother shortly before her death. As he became increasingly isolated after moving into 102 boulevard Haussmann the previous year Proust sought her help in many matters including the purchase of numerous gifts: ""I would have liked to ask you if you had by any chance seen anything suitable for the Straus although I always dislike coinciding with New Year's Day"". This sentiment would inspire a passage in The Captive castigating those same ""New Year's Day presents"" given to Madame Verdurin: ""those singular and superfluous objects which still appear to have been just taken from the box in which they were offered and remain for ever what they were at first"" The Captive C.K. Scott Moncrieff's Translation Edited and Annotated by William C. Carter Yale University Press 2023 p. 308. Known for his frenzied displays of prodigality Proust overcomes his aversion to these occasional gifts. The smallest favor to the writer gave rise to extravagant expenses. Lawyer Emile Straus had probably helped the writer sort out his inheritance affairs: ""I FEEL THAT THE NUMEROUS SERVICES PROVIDED TO ME BY MR. STRAUS CANNOT REMAIN WITHOUT THANKS since I believe he would not accept a fee. If you happened to have seen something very unknown
190886094s. l. 1908. Fine. Proust and the future of pastiche: ""it seems to me that it could perhaps become a more discreet more fragile and more elegant form of literary criticism"" s. l. s. d. 1908 ou 1919 11.60 x 17.80 cm 4 pages sur un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed by Marcel Proust to his friend Maurice de Fleury a psychiatrist and famed man of letters close to Émile Zola who wrote a collection of short stories as well as various medical works on neurasthenia insomnia epilepsy Chiara Carraro Philip Kolb. Four pages written in black on a bifolium with ""Island Mill"" watermark and framed in black. Usual traces of folds. Published in Kolb VIII no. 32 p. 74-75. Superb letter extolling the merits of literary pastiche by one of the greatest writers of the genre: Marcel Proust. The writing of this letter may coincide with the publication of Proust's series of pastiches on the Lemoine Affair a scam set up by a French engineer of that name who claimed to be able to make genuine diamonds. The articles were printed on the front page of the literary supplement of 'Le Figaro' between 1908 and 1909 or date from its publication in volume under the title 'Pastiches et mélanges' in 1919. The autograph letter is presented in a midnight blue half morocco chemise with marbled paper boards beige suede lined pastedowns and a slipcase edged with the same morocco. Proust warmly thanks his correspondent Maurice de Fleury whom he describes as a ""scholar and writer"" for his favorable reception of his ""little pastiches"": ""Your double merit should make you doubly severe: and you excuse pastiche that inferior genre!"" Votre double mérite devrait vous rendre doublement sévère : et vous excusez le pastiche ce genre inférieur ! acknowledging with irony the still precarious place of this unusual genre although popular during Proust's lifetime. Pastiche was perceived more as a stylistic musing or even a student exercise than a true creation worthy of literary praise. Yet here the writer considers it here a refreshing addition to the strict hierarchy of genres that still prevailed: ""Handled however by your hands more beautiful than mine it seems to me that it could perhaps become a more discreet more fragile and more elegant form of literary criticism. Very proud minds could devote themselves to it and very fine minds like yours very attached to greatness seriousness duty as wise could take pleasure in it and follow these games."" Manié pourtant par vos mains plus belles que les miennes il me semble qu'il pourrait peut-être devenir comme une forme indirecte plus discrète plus frêle et plus élégante de critique littéraire. Des esprits très fiers pourraient s'y adonner et des esprits très fins. comme le vôtre très attraché par la grandeur le sérieux le devoir aussi sage pourrait s'y plaire suivre ces jeux. With these words Proust asserts the interest of 'critical pastiche' which was already well established and acted as an empirical analysis of an author's style. Since his years as a student in Condorcet the writer had regularly indulged in this activity with according to him varying degrees of success: ""I have also sometimes made pastiches of medical literature! these writings are now lost If I could have found them again or started them again but all that is too far away I would have published them if I had known that you read this for fun. I don't need to tell you that considered inimitable you are not among the authors I pastiched. But . others are less perfect and combined some very interesting qualities with small flaws that could be imitated and caricatured."" J'ai été aussi quelques fois à faire des pastiches de littérature médicale ! Si j'avais pu les retrouver ou les recommencer mais tout cela est trop loin je les aurais publiés si j'avais su que vous lisiez cela pour vous amuser. Je n'ai pas besoin de vous dire que jugé inimitable vous n'y figurez pas. Mais . d'autres sont moins parf hardcover

425319Chatto and Windus. Hardcover. Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Five volumes in the early Phoenix Library set of Proust's 'Remembrance of Things Past' 'In Search of Lost Time' - in classic C. K. Scott Moncrieff translation. Chatto and Windus began publishing Proust's novel in split up volumes through their Phoenix series in 1929 stopping in 1936 before all the volumes could be published deciding instead to republish the novel in it's entirety in a new edition in 1941. As such no Phoenix set of 'Remembrance' is complete - they end after 'Cities of the Plain.' Available here are five of the eight existing volumes:- Swann's Way Volume 1 - 1929 Edition- Swann's Way Volume 2 - 1929 Edition- Within a Budding Grove Volume 2 - 1929 Edition- The Guermantes Way Volume 1 - 1930 Edition- The Guermantes Way Volume 2 - 1930 Edition There is moderate bookworm damage to the first few pages of Within a Budding Grove - Volume 2 - as seen in the photos here. The damage is contained relatively to only the first couple pages - up to about page 6 of the novel proper. Considering their age the condition of the books is high - pages are clean with some slight pencil marks and the dust jackets are in good condition despite some slight tearing to their spine.
