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!

  • Alphonse de LAMARTINE

Geneviève. Histoire d'une servante

Imprimerie de Wittersheim|Paris 1850|15.50 x 25.50 cm|relié

Sold
⬨ 70669
Édition originale, rare, offerte aux abonnés du " Conseiller du peuple ", périodique qui parut de 1849 à 1851, devenu " Les Foyers du peuple " en 1851 (mensuel publié par Lamartine). Ce tiré-à-part ne comporte ni faux-titre, ni couverture, mais les seules couvertures bleues de la brochure. L'ouvrage paraîtra en libraire en 1851, chez Michel Lévy.
Exemplaire truffé d'un billet de Lamartine rédigé en formule de politesse à la troisième personne, il est conçu ainsi : "Mr. de Lamartine regrette vivement de ne pouvoir garder les billets de concert que Madame [...] a bien voulu lui envoyer, mais la modicité de sa fortune réduite par des circonstances pénibles, lui interdit toute espèce de souscription. Il prie donc Madame [...Burest ?] d'agréer ses excuses et de recevoir l'assurance de sa respectueuse considération. Paris 7 mars 1837". Le billet est redigé sur un papier fin jaune dans une fine écriture à la plume déliée.
Reliure en demi maroquin moderne à grains longs à coins signée Semet et Plumelle, dans le goût de l'époque. Dos lisse richement orné de fers romantiques en long mosaïqué de rouge. Roulettes en queue et tête. Filets sur les plats. Couvertures bleues d'origine conservées. Exemplaire non rogné, à toutes marges, d'une parfaite fraîcheur, au papier immaculé.
Splendide exemplaire, très pur, parfaitement établi par Semet et Plumelle.
Ex libris gravé F. M. Caye, collectionneur de romantiques.
Geneviève est le premier des "romans populaires" de l'auteur (suivront Raphael, Graziella...), qui en conçoit l'écriture après sa rencontre avec une jeune couturière aixoise à laquelle le livre est dédié. Au cours de leur entretien, elle lui fit part des attentes du peuple quant à une littérature qui traite de la vie quotidienne des gens simples. Lamartine raconte cette rencontre dans sa préface et la genèse de ce roman.
