Lightning Strikes the Feu Follet

Discover the mythical selections of gifts from the Pantheon of Edition-Originale and offer your loved ones the thunder, the trident and the lyre...
 
Grâces au Feu Follet

“O baby-boy, begin!

For him, on whom his parents have not smiled,

Gods deem not worthy of their board or bed” (Virgil)

 

A young Jean Cocteau inscribed this quote to his mother

on the copy numbered 1 of La Danse de Sophocle,

one of his first works of poetry.

In turn, Le Feu Follet invokes the deities of Mount Olympus

and invites them to look at his catalog and draw

ambrosia worthy of your Christmas table.

 

Discover the mythical selections

of the Pantheon from Edition-Originale

and offer your loved ones the thunder, the trident and the lyre...

Presentation copy from Pagnol to Druon, his admirer
Idealised childhood is an age-old leitmotif, but since the 20th-century it has had a name: Marcel Pagnol. No writer has better captured a child’s sensitivity and capacity for wonder. Among his most fervent admirers is another writer, who would gladly have belonged to his large Provençal family: Maurice Druon. He crowned Pagnol the blessed king of childhood. “How human you are beneath such pleasant appearances! Reading you, I now feel as though I have become one of your childhood friends. And I await the sequel to La Gloire de mon père [My Father’s Glory] as a reward. I admire you and send you a warm embrace. Maurice”

Young heroes, old heralds...
The bridges of knowledge between generations are growing fragile, and each now sees only the gulf that separates it from the other, rather than the paths that unite them. Yet Man is not always a wolf to the young, and many are the writings of former children that have contributed to the political and sociological awakening of those who came after them.

Catholic fervour or anticlerical fever: in the land of Bossuet and Voltaire, religion is a family affair far more than an affair of state, and many a family supper threatens to be the Last, where, happily, the breaking of bread and the miracle of wine reconcile cassocked brothers with their sans-culotte cousins...
