1945641571945. Fine. s. d. 1944-1945 19.80 x 26.50 cm une feuille sous étui-chemise Exceptionally rare autograph satirical poem by Louis Aragon entitledDistiques pour une Carmagnole de la Honte written between September 1944 and February 1945. 26 lines penned in black ink on a single leaf with a note from the author in blue ink at the foot of the page. Our manuscript belongs to a group of thirteen poems composed during the first half of 1945 intended for publication in a poetry anthology Aragon published by Pierre Seghers in Paris Collection Poètes daujourdhui no. 2 20 July 1945. It was sent by Aragon as a working copy to his editor and friend Claude Roy. This autograph poem is the only known manuscript of the Distiques with neither manuscript nor proofs held in the extensive Triolet-Aragon archives at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. The autograph poem is housed in a midnight blue half-morocco folder with patterned paper boards beige lambskin doublures and a matching morocco-edged slipcase. Binding signed by Thomas Boichot. A true historical document and scathing indictment of the collaborators who sought refuge in Sigmaringen Aragons Distiques were composed during the winter of 19441945 following the publication of Musée Grévin. A quintessential example of Aragons resistance poetry this octosyllabic and ten-line verse composition denounces in no uncertain terms the leaders of the Vichy regime and their most ardent supporters. Sarcasm insult and invective fuel a vengeful poetry reminiscent of the fiery tone of Front Rouge which marked his break with surrealism. Yet the poems tone remains brisk and lively: the residents of Sigmaringen castle sing dance and play and Aragon concludes with a rousing quatrain: «Ah ça ira ça ira Les Pétain Laval tous à la lanterne Ah ça ira ça ira ça ira Les Pétain Laval tous on les pendra» borrowed from the revolutionary anthem «Ah ça ira ça ira ça ira Les aristocrates à la lanterne. Ah! ça ira ça ira ça ira! Les aristocrates on les pendra.» Despite numerous appeals to flee France at the outbreak of war Aragon chose to remain going underground with Elsa Triolet after serving bravely during the German offensive. The Occupation marked a period of intense activity for the writer who clandestinely published his collections of resistance poetry Le Crève-cur 1941 Les Yeux dElsa 1942 Le Musée Grévin 1943 La Diane française 1944 and under various pseudonyms poems and responses to collaborationists in the Lettres Françaises. At the same time he was commissioned by the Communist Party to rally writers and intellectuals in the southern zone where he founded a branch of the Comité National des Écrivains bringing together Stanislas Fumet Auguste Anglès Henry Malherbe and Jean Prévost. Aragons example proved that in times of war poetry could itself be a form of resistance a refusal to yield. As Claude Roy recipient of the manuscript later remarked: «La parole dAragon sélevait avec une violence et une aisance qui se répercutaient dun bout de la France à lautre.» «Ça doit avoir de la dégaine/Le château de Siegmaringen/On sy retrouve entre félons/Sous les lustres du grand salon» Aragon wrote two poems about Sigmaringen the former Swabian stronghold of the Hohenzollern family which hosted Pétain and his entourage after their flight from Vichy and Belfort. As Allied forces advanced and on orders from the Reich the Marshal and his supporters set up a puppet government there in September 1944 later replaced by the Gouvernemental Delegation for the Defence of French Interests in Germany during the wars final months. Aragon dedicates a distich to Laval who had been ousted from power by this new structure: «Laval a lair bien embêté / Dêtre en disponibilité». Notably Aragon adds an e to Sigmaringen likely a sardonic play on the Nazi salute Sieg Heil. For nearly eight months until April 1945 this extraterritorial enclave shelter hardcover
193286460Paris: Bureau d'Éditions et de Diffusion 1932. Fine. Bureau d'Éditions et de Diffusion Paris 1932 18 x 23.50 cm agrafé First edition. Illustrated with 16 drawings by Georges Adam. A superb copy of this rare booklet by Louis Aragon a true ""anti-clerical anti-capitalist anti-colonialist anti-patriotic"" Pierre Juquin catechism for the children of the exploited working masses. ""On June 25 1932 the Imprimerie centrale completed printing for the Bureau des éditions et de diffusion 132 Faubourg Saint-Denis Paris a beautiful pamphlet now a bibliophilic rarity . On the cover a large red star - an important and recurrent image in Aragon's work - appears imprinted on children's brains. Sixteen quatrains droll and didactic punctuated for ease of reading alternate with drawings by Georges Adam whose nearly expressionist mockery reminiscent of Rouault's paintings overturns taboos and myths."" Aragon. Un destin français 1897-1939 After breaking with the Surrealists Aragon threw himself wholeheartedly into the Journal de la lutte antireligieuse. He wrote this pamphlet from Moscow and published it on the Party's presses to ignite the fervor of proletarian youth. French poet Jacques Prévert would later follow a similar path with his play Émasculée conception. Anticlerical activism within French Communist associations was in full swing at the time: every symbol and events of religious life were reinterpreted through the lens of class struggle. ""Red baptisms"" were organised forming a community of ""Godless"" children drawing their name from the Association of Godless Workers who corresponded with their Soviet counterparts. Aragon contributed to these new rituals with this particularly radical children's book deemed excessively antipatriotic by Maurice Thorez which he would later disavow at the end of his life.
