Jean d'ORMESSON (1925-2017). - Lot 609
Jean d'ORMESSON (1925-2017). 8 signed typed letters and 2 A.S. cards to M. Gaboret. 10 pp. in-4 and in-8. 1979-1988. Envelopes kept. Friendly and literary correspondence around Yourcenar and Malraux. About letters from Marguerite Yourcenar: "I took the greatest interest in them, they go far beyond what writers usually say in this kind of correspondence []. I wish you well in your project to publish the letters of Marguerite Yourcenar []"; after the reception of Marguerite Y. at the Académie française: "I was literally overwhelmed for more than three weeks. I am sorry I could not send you an invitation for January 22 [1981]. Alas! I had six cards for more than 250 requests []"; on the work of André Malraux: "Page 7, you indicate that Clappique is a character in the Anti-mémoires. He is above all a character in La Condition humaine", "I believe that Malraux is already recognized as a great writer, but one must always keep the flames alive", etc.
