Foreign Literature

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Le Feu Follet's Letter #7

Summer Begins Under the Linden Trees


Multivers, virtual realities, second life, or parallel worlds — once upon a time, all of this was simply called reading! Le Feu Follet has explored the shelves of these solar writers who have illuminated our imaginations and selected a few readings for you to journey through the days and nights of summer. Meanwhile, in the shade, a young blossoming painter embarks on a dangerous affair with a mysterious married and liberated woman.

Multivers, réalités virtuelles, second life ou mondes parallèles, il était une fois où l’on nommait tout cela lecture !

Le Feu Follet a parcouru les rayons de ces écrivains solaires qui ont illuminé nos imaginaires et a sélectionné pour vous quelques lectures pour traverser les jours et les nuits d’été. Cependant qu’à l’ombre un jeune peintre en fleur noue une liaison dangereuse avec une mystérieuse femme mariée et libérée.

 
Delacroix à Julie

Louise du Bois des Cours de La Maisonfort, épouse de Louis-Jules Baron Rossignol

de Pron et fille du marquis de La Maisonfort, ministre de France en Toscane,

mécène de Lamartine et ami de Chateaubriand

L'Enquête. "Julie ou La nouvelle Louise de Delacroix - Lettres d’un amant"

 

Un jeune peintre romantique, une épouse libertine, un atelier aux effluves d’alcôve, des surnoms d’amants secrets, une passion mystérieuse et un portrait d’enfant inachevé.

Tout cela méritait bien une investigation du Feu Follet. Cette semaine, nous vous révélons le véritable nom de « la dame des Italiens », brûlante passion secrète du jeune Delacroix. De l’amour de l’art aux arts de l’Amour, Eugène troque le pinceau pour la plume et rédige des lettres empreintes de spleen et d’idéal, dans lesquelles il « plonge dans l'oubli son âme sans remord, et, charriant le vertige, la roule défaillante aux rives de la mort »...

Le Thème de la semaine

« L'été commence

sous les Tilleuls »

 
Lecture

Sous le soleil de Satan un fou de Malaisie partage un festin nu avec un curé de campagne à la main coupée, sur l’herbe rouge du pays des malices. Cependant, le neveu de Rameau montre au bonhomme Lénine les illuminations des nuits de Paris et un amant de la Chine du nord offre, les joues en feu, le rameau vert de son cher amour à un vieil homme et sa mer, parce qu'elle était noire...

 

Que vous suiviez le grand troupeau sous les tristes tropiques ou que vous partiez seul comme un singe en hiver à la conquête de Plassans, les mille et un livres du Feu Follet vous accompagneront jusqu’au bout de l’été.

Once upon a first time…
Gutenberg's Bible was preceded by several ephemera printed with movable type which the legendary B42 always claimed to be the first to use. No matter. The true origin may in fact be Buddhist, since in 1377 the Jikji was already being printed with a similar method. Can one consider fries to be Belgian? What does pasta owe to the Arab world? Isn't the croissant a descendant of the Austrian kipferl? The very idea of champagne may have been born in the mind of an Englishman, Christopher Merret! "First" is decidedly fiction, but to open this new season, Le Feu Follet is pleased to offer you the very first look at its brand-new selection: "Once Upon a First Time…"

“There were printed of this first edition…”
Every collector of modern books knows this terrible and delightful phrase. An ominous prelude announcing just how arduous the quest for the most desirable copy will be.
