Mosley 21/10/68.†Benoist-Mechin was a high ranking Vichy collaborator who at the end of World War II was sentenced to death by the French later commuted after pardon. He developed a close relationship with Mosley during the Mosley’s residence in France. Mosley was an important British politician of the 1930s who rose to prominence with his creation of the British Union of Fascists political party. He secretly married Diana Mitford in Berlin with Adolph Hitler as a witness. With the outbreak of World War II Mosley was arrested and imprisoned. A Germanophile Benoist-Mechin wrote a highly regarded five volume history of the German Army and was a fascinating character with many sides. He was a classical music composer who advised his friend James Joyce providing the musical transcription of "Little Harry Hughes" photographed for episode 17 of Ulysses and published an early French translation of Molly Bloom's monologue from Ulysses as well as a Marcel Proust scholar who was personally knew Proust; a reporter heading a European news bureau; an adviser to William Randolph Hearst on his art purchases for Hearst Castle in San Simeon; and an aspiring writer and accomplished translator well regarded in the Paris literary circles of 1920s. Benoist-Méchin frequented the famous Paris bookshop Shakespeare and Company and during the Second World War used his political power to secure the release of the shop's American-born owner Sylvia Beach from a spell of internment. This book is Mosley’s fascinating autobiography who knew most of the key player in pre-war Britain and presents fascinating portraits of them from his poin of view.

194286673s. l. 1942. Fine. s. l. s. d. ca 1942 13.50 x 21 cm trois pages sur un double feuillet Autograph letter signed by Jacques Benoist-Méchin 36 lines in black ink on letterhead of the Secretariat of State for the Vice-Presidency of the Council which the author of ""L'histoire de l'armée allemande"" joined on June 9 1941 charged with Franco-German relations. Fold mark inherent to postal delivery a small tear in the right margin of the letter at the fold level. Jacques Benoist-Méchin shows himself honored by the attention he arouses in his correspondent: ""Vous avez dû recevoir un petit mot de Monsieur Esmenard vous exposant mon point de vue au sujet de la suggestion si flatteuse que vous m'aviez faite."" but he feels obliged to decline the project idea previously exposed: ""Je crois qu'il vaut mieux s'abstenir. Toutefois je ne puis asez insister sur la grande joie que m'a faite votre visite."" The writer entangled in the intricacies of collaborationist politics praises his friend's freedom of spirit: ""Vous êtes un de ceux dont l'indépendance et la sûreté de jugement sont si unanimement reconnues."" a freedom he deplores having lost in view of the political and diplomatic responsibilities with which he is charged: ""La fonction que j'occupe limitent singulièrement ma liberté personnelle et j'ai souvent quelque peine à ne pas ruer dans les brancarts ! . Mais il faut se discipliner . et attendre."" Interesting letter in which is revealed all the hold of political games on freedom of expression and spirit. unknown
