CHARDONNE Jacques: - Lot 33
CHARDONNE Jacques:
le bonheur dans le sang. 4-page manuscript with humorous and derisive accompanying letter to Jacques BRENNER, dated February 8, 1957. A beautiful manuscript that Chardonne would like Brenner to publish. A moving text about his sister, who has just died. An ode to his family, to married life and to an existence spent in the countryside in their beloved region, and concludes for himself, "More than one day of my life is encrusted there. I won't go back there again, I don't want to see familiar landscapes or old figures, and I even want to forget what has already abandoned me. To miss the decay around me, to tear the page I won't read again, to break the half-dead branch, not to spread out in a desert but to tighten up and better adhere to the most vivid, supreme choice, made of what?"
