Description

Jacques de LACRETELLE (1888–1985). Signed autograph manuscript, ‘Une fierté modeste’ by Jean Schlumberger, [October 1968]; 5 pages in-4 on *Le Figaro* letterhead (first page torn and previously repaired with adhesive tape). A tribute to Jean Schlumberger (who died on 25 October 1968), ‘the attentive and thoughtful writer, the judicious and frank adviser, the steadfast friend whom we have, alas, just lost. He was associated with the major literary movements of his time, including the founding of the *Nouvelle Revue Française* and the *Vieux Colombier*”… It recalls his political and literary commitments, his talent as a novelist—belonging to no particular school—and praises his brilliant critical essays: ‘This writer, unassuming through selflessness, was at the forefront of every struggle. Whether literary or otherwise, he was always present, without deriving any pride or profit from it other than that of fruitful reflection’… Enclosed are 4 autograph manuscripts by Jean-Jacques Gautier: a tribute to his publisher René Julliard (1962), and three theatre reviews from *Le Figaro*, on Charlie Chaplin and *Limelight*, on *Le Mime Marceau*, and on *Madame Filoumé* by Edoardo De Filippo
