Prosper Mérimée (Parigi, 28 settembre 1803 – Cannes, 23 settembre 1870) è stato uno scrittore, storico e archeologo francese. Mérimée amava il misticismo, la storia e l'inconsueto e fu influenzato dai romanzi di Sir Walter Scott, dalla crudezza e dai drammi psicologici di Alexander Pushkin. Spesso le sue opere sono ricche di misteri e si svolgono fuori dalla Francia, in particolare in Spagna ed in Russia. Da uno dei suoi racconti è stata tratta l'opera Carmen. Iscritto alla facoltà di diritto, durante gli anni della giovinezza eccelleva già nelle lingue straniere: greco, arabo, inglese e russo. Amico personale di Turgenev, è stato uno dei primi traduttori di libri russi in francese. Di idee liberali, fu, dopo la rivoluzione del 1830, segretario del ministro del commercio, poi capo servizio al ministero della marina. Nominato nel 1834 ispettore dei monumenti storici, svolse in questa sua veste un’opera assai benemerita. Fu chiamato nel 1843 all’Acadèmie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres e nel 1844 all'Accademia francese, con molta sua soddisfazione, poiché quest’uomo riservato, spiritoso e caustico non era esente da ambizioni accademiche. Dopo l’avvento di Napoleone III, ebbe la sorpresa e la fortuna di veder salire sul trono d’imperatrice la giovane Eugenia, figlia della sua affezionatissima amica spagnola, la contessa di Montijo. Creato senatore nel 1853 e intimo della famiglia regnante, ebbe quindi il dolore di assistere al crollo del regime e delle persone che amava, prima di morire in un’ora tristissima della storia della sua patria.: Nota bio-bibliografica, p.759 e sg.

New French Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In French. 238 p., ills. Les Turqueries ou autrement dit le thème turc a joué un grand rôle dans la littérature et les arts (la peinture, la musique, le ballet, les objets décoratifs etc...) en France. Si les croisades ont mis en contact l'Orient musulman et l'Occident chrétien, la prise de Constantinople et la montée en puissance de l'Empire ottoman ont fait des Turcs ottomans le principal représentant de l'Orient en Occident. Pour les écrivains français le thème turc représentait l'altérité par excellence. Peu importait la véracité de l'image, la fiction française s'était emparée du Turc. Georges de Scudéry relate l'histoire du célèbre Ibrahim, vizir du sultan Soliman le magnifique dans Ibrahim ou l'illustre Bassa. Le grand Racine, si respectueux des règles classiques, ose contourner la tradition des sujets antiques en prétendant que "l'éloignement des pays répare en quelque sorte la trop grande proximité des temps" et crée sa tragédie intitulée Bajazet d'après le prince ottoman du même nom. A ne pas confondre avec le héros de l'opéra de Vivaldi, un autre Bajazet, le sultan vaincu par Tamerlan. Bien avant Molière, Rotrou fait parler ses personnages en turc dans sa pièce intitulée La Sour. Molière reprendra ce procédé avec le succès que l'on connaît dans Le Bourgeois gentilhomme qui est la turquerie par excellence du 17ème siècle et qui combine non seulement des personnages turcs mais aussi la musique de Lully directement inspirée des sonorités turques, sans parler des costumes et des pas de danse à la turque. Ainsi, la mode est lancée par Molière pour se moquer des Turcs. D'autre part, grâce à la Bibliothèque orientale d'Herbelot l'érudition passe également par les Turqueries. Au 18ème siècle le thème turc se mêle de critique et de philosophie. Voltaire rapporte les paroles du vieux Turc d'Istanbul, il faut cultiver son jardin, sans cesser de condamner le fanatisme musulman. Les Turqueries se mêlent également de littérature licencieuse voire érotique. Au 19ème siècle les Turqueries se fondent dans l'Orientalisme et prennent des accents politiques. Peut-on dire que de nos jours la tradition des Turqueries continue, après avoir subi certes une certaine transformation ? Peut-on considérer La Pasión turca d'Antonio Gala ou Le Turquetto de Metin Arditi comme des turqueries contemporaines ?
