1957845871957. Fine. ""L'époque est à la violence"" 'These are times defined by violence.' 23 janvier 1957 16.20 x 23.50 cm 2 pages sur un feuillet - enveloppe jointe Autograph letter signed by Marguerite Yourcenar dated 23 January 1957 two pages in black ink on a single sheet with the original envelope included. On two densely written pages Yourcenar confides her editorial frustrations to her close friend the painter Elie Grekoff recounting the blasphemous act of her publisher who had torn in ""en deux ou plutôt en quatre"" two or rather four the dedicated copy of her poetry collection Les Charités dAlcippe 1956 and returned it to her by post. She discusses joint projects with Grekoff and requests that he accept the profits from a work he illustrated for her. Yourcenar writes from the United States which she joined in 1939 with her companion Grace Frick then a professor of British literature in New York. From 1950 onwards they settled on Mont Déserts Island bordering Canada in a house named Petite-Plaisance which she mentions in the handwritten letterhead. Amidst the wild nature and crystalline lakes she would write there some of her most celebrated works including The Abyss. Through the text we catch fleeting images of the authors reclusive existence: « Ici travail abrutissant favorisé par les grands froids qui font qu'on ne sort qu'un bref moment ou quand on y est obligé. Correction d'épreuves correspondance en retard depuis des mois traduction et enfin le livre en train . les journaux arrivent très régulièrement et si vite dans le cas du Monde que j'apprends par lui les nouvelles de New York avant d'avoir le temps d'aller au village acheter le New York Times » The work here is grueling compounded by the bitter cold so that one ventures outside only for a short while or out of necessity. Proofreading months of overdue letters translation and finally the book underway the newspapers come so promptly and consistently particularly Le Monde that I hear the New York news from it before I even manage to go to the village and buy the New York Times. The most poignant passage of the letter concerns her stormy dealings with her publisher Curvers regarding her neoclassical-spirited poetry collection Les Charités d'Alcippe. Yourcenar recounts the publishers unforgivable act enraged by her reproaches over the premature release of the collection: ""Toute la légalité et le sens commun sont de mon côté mais cela n'a pas empêché l'irascible liégeois de me renvoyer un ex. des 'Charités d'Alcippe' déchiré en deux ou plutôt en quatre. L'époque est à la violence All legality and common sense was on my side yet that irascible man from Liège still sent me back a copy of Les Charités d'Alcippe torn in two-or rather in four. These are times defined by violence. The affair of the gentleman from Liège as mentioned in the letter ultimately resulted in a full-fledged legal dispute through attorneys. The writers uncompromising standards and constant concern for copyright earned her several disputes including two lawsuitsone with the director Jean Marchat and another with her publisher Plon. The letters recipient Élie Grekoff 19141985 painter illustrator and master bookbinder remained a close confidant of the writer for decades and collaborated with her on several editorial and theatrical projects. Among his contributions he designed the scenery for her Sartre-inspired play Electre ou la chute des masques which premiered at the Théâtre des Mathurins. The letter also bears witness to two of their artistic collaborations: the edition of a Latin classic and of a renowned Hindu poem the Gita-Govinda both annotated by Yourcenar and illustrated by Grekoff. In a few beautifully gracious lines Yourcenar entreats him to accept the proceeds probably stemming from the 1956 publication of Laeviuss Bagatelles dAmour: ""merci Elie et je vous en prie considérez les trente huit mille qui unknown
