Lev L'vovich Tolstoy 1869 1945ABAA

Eight ALS by Lev L'vovich Tolstoy 1869-1945 the son of Lev Tolstoy to Jacques Patin 1883-1948 the editor of Figaro

P003399Paris and Wiesbaden: 1921-23. Eight single leaves some folded. Very good with exception of one letter with tear and some loss to text. The son of Lev Tolstoy Lev L'vovich Tolstoy was a firm believer in his father's ideals in his youth but later became increasingly opposed to his philosophical and ethical ideas. He studied sculpture with Rodin and tried without success to become a published writer as well as writing about his childhood and impressions of his father. In 1918 he emigrated living in Paris before eventually settling in Sweden. The letters included here date to a period when he wrote articles on his father and was making a difficult living as a journalist. Among other things they contain his negative reaction to his mother's memoirs discuss his own writing and plans to publish his recollections and detail his financial woes. "Je prends la libertÃ© de vous envoyer pour le Figaro un article littÃ©raire souvenirs personnels sur mon pÃ¨re et deux de ses nouvelles. Vous me rendriez un grand service en les publiant le plus tÃ´t possible car hÃ©las je dois exister du journalisme." - "Je me permets de vous envoyer ci-jointes quelques pages sur la nouvelle posthume de mon pÃ¨re Le Diable. Je parlais de cette Åuvre dans un article sur la Sonate Ã Kreutzer qui a Ã©tÃ© publiÃ© dans le Journal mais la rÃ©daction n'a pas voulu publier ces pages qui sont pourtant intÃ©ressantes. Peut-Ãªtre pourrez-vous en faire usage en les publiant dans le Figaro ensemble avec le chapitre qui parle des ouvrages de TolstoÃ¯ pour le thÃ©Ã¢tre . Je vous suis trÃ¨s obligÃ© pour l'aide que vous m'avez donnÃ©e pour la publication de mes souvenirs ainsi que je remercie Monsieur Robert de Flers pour l'article qu'il a publiÃ© dans le Figaro. . Maintenant comme je suis sans argent Ã ce moment et le change est trÃ¨s dÃ©plorable pour notre sÃ©jour ici je vous prierais d'avoir l'extrÃªme obligeance de me faire envoyer ici 300-400 francs avec le premier courrier." - "Ma Vie c'est une ignoble escroquerie littÃ©raire et il faut le dire carrÃ©ment. Le publique est dupÃ©. On achÃ¨te ce petit livre croyant lire quelque chose de TolstoÃ¯ sa vie tandis que cela n'est qu'un rÃ©cit d'une baba russe un rÃ©cit d'une langue russe magnifique mais un rien comme intÃ©rÃªt . littÃ©raire.". unknown books
