1805669741805. Fine. 10 Floréal 13 30 avril 1805 18.50 x 23.10 cm une feuille Stendhal's autograph letter addressed to his sister Pauline. 28 lines written with a fine writing in black ink. First name ""Pauline"" from the hand of the sender at the bottom of the letter. Inventory number ""36"" in ink from another hand. Two small traces of stamp and stamp a small tear restored in the bottom margin of the page. A few tiny folds inherent in the enveloping of the letter. Rare and beautiful letter of Stendhal addressed to his sister Pauline in which all the sensitivity of the young man and his love for the dramatic art shows more than twenty years before his big romantic successes. This letter comes from the correspondence between Henri Bayle here twenty-two years with his sister Pauline three years younger. This true epistolary liaison which quickly took the form of a ""diary"" - Pauline's answers were rare - is an essential milestone in the constitution of the intellectual journey of the future Stendhal. Our letter of a great lyricism testifies to the strength of the bond uniting the young writer and his sister: ""Let's shake each other my good friend. We will never find anyone who loves Pauline as Henry nor will Henry ever find a more beautiful soul than Pauline. ""The use of the third person and a lover vocabulary erects the young woman to the rank of alter ego a sister-soul and even perfect mistress. The young Henri is then precisely under the yoke of a devouring passion for the actress Melanie Guilbert whom he met during his declamation classes at Dugazon: "" I'm going to be bored perhaps by my dark sadness. I know very well that the seriousness of ardent passions is not pleasant. "" Contrasting with this passionate relationship Pauline symbolizes reason and balance a figure that Henri like a pygmalion can fashion at leisure. In good tutor he advises: ""Learn by heart roles. About declamation I will teach you a thousand things. I'm bringing you a Gil Blas and a Tracy. ""We understand here worship Stendhal devoted to the theater from his earliest years both as a player as a playwright the fund of its archives to the Grenoble Library contains nearly 700 sheets of blanks:"" I am in despair at not being able to wear you Beanies. But wait maybe someday will come . as Ulino says. ""This passion for theater Henry intends to pass it to his sister:"" We will work like hell during the time that I stay in Grenoble. ""In total opposite view with the education of women in his time he put a point of honor that Pauline is an educated person; In several letters moreover we find injunctions from the brother ordering his sister to give up needlework in favor of the reading he recommends. Truly obsessed with theater and convinced that he will become an author of successful comedies he works tirelessly: ""I am told a room where I will not be free and where I can not just declaim. Try to disturb this arrangement. ""Years before writing great novels that make her famous Stendhal already understands that loneliness is for him a source of creation and says:"" A lonely is jealous of his freedom. It is his greatest good as that of all men. "" unknown

He met her in 1806 in Grenoble when his friend Édouard Mounier introduced him to his sister. Knowing her little he imagines a thousand qualities and dreams of marriage. However she remains a "disembodied" love. He wrote first to his brother hoping that he would have his sister read the letters and then to Victorine herself without receiving a reply. Stendhal learned with spite of Victorine's marriage in 1811.<br />The year 1810 marked for Stendhal the beginning of his social ascent. Having been ordered to go to Lyon on May 11 1810 but which he finally decided to ignore he continued to frequent theaters read walk and write. Appointed auditor to the Council of State on 1 August he became inspector of furniture and buildings of the Crown in the autumn. Stendhal then frequented powerful characters and lived in the intimacy of Count Daru's family. He bought himself a fashionable convertible stamps with his initials rents an apartment more in line with his new status. His social situation put an end to his financial worries and made him hope for the barony mentioned at the beginning of the second letter but left him dissatisfied. In need of love he says: "This happiness of dress and money is not enough for me I must love and be loved".</p><p>Favorite sister of Henri Beyle Pauline 1786-1857 had married in 1808 François-Daniel Périer-Lagrange and lived then at the castle of Thuellin near Brangues where will take place the news item at the origin of the novel <em>Le Rouge et le noir</em>.<br />Widowed at the age of 31 Pauline must have been embarrassed because her husband had mismanaged his property.
