CARROLL, Lewis (1832-1898)
Autograph letter signed " C.L. Dodgson " to Mr BurtonEastbourne, Aug[ust] 25 [18]77, 2 p. in-12° with pink ink
Astounding letter addressed to the father of his new "child-friend", to whom he wishes to send a copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
"Dear sir,I hope you will excuse the liberty I am taking in addressing you, as well as the liberty I took a few days ago in making friends with your little daughter, but I think that even one who is not, as I am, a great lover of children, could hardly fail to be attracted by her. Wishing to leave for her at her lodgings a little book (on I have several time given to little friends) I have made two expeditions, in vain, to find the lodgings. Not having the right address and seeing her no more on the beach, the only course seems to write to the town address. If you will allow me to present her with the book, would you kindly tell me whether to send it to London or to what address. (The book is called Alice's Adventures in… Read More

Villa Angeletto – Grasse, 14th April [1913], 6 p. in-8° on mourning paper
Moving and precious letter from the American artist looking back on her entire career, her successes and regrets, in the light of the book dedicated to her – her first biography – that the art critic, Achille Segard, is about to publish


" Cher Monsieur, Je vous avais bien dit que je ne savais pas écrire. Certes oui je crois votre livre* très beau mais mettez-vous à ma place, je n'ai jamais été gâtée, et comment croire à tout ce que vous dites de bien de ma peinture ? Si j'avais gardé un peu de ce que j'ai fait, cela m'aurait permis de me voir en mieux. La seule fois que je me suis vue avec les autres, c'était chez Mme Havemeyer** et je ne faisais pas trop mauvaise figure. Je vous ai dit une fois que vous écriviez sur la peinture comme un peintre et c'est vrai. J'ai répété à Renoir ce que vous disiez sur son originalité… Read More

"France does not deserve its writers"
Moving letter from Céline looking back with despair on his eighteen months in prison


"Chers amis, Voici bien longtemps que nous sommes demeurés sans nouvelles. De notre côté une légère amélioration au point de vue légal grâce à la visite que Mikkelsen a faite à Paris à Naud et à d'autres amis. La Butte a donné à fond ! s'est donné à fond en ma faveur. L'impression a été admirable ! Je ne suis plus le damné total, la pourriture absolue. On commence à se rendre compte que l'on m'a bien martyrisé injustement alors que tant d'autres… s'en tirent glorieusement et fructueusement. Lucette heureusement a repris forme et santé. Je ne suis pas brillant. Je traîne. J'ai refait de la pellagre et une crise de rhumatisme abominable en dépit de la chaleur. La cellule, les hivers en cellule… Read More

" Mon cher Maître, vous me voyez encore tout navré et repentant de vous avoir si fort indisposé par ma lettre absurde à propos de mon chat Bebert ! Vous metterez [sic] j'espère tout ceci sur le compte de la folie et aussi des heures longues de l'emprisonnement où certaines idées tout à fait grotesques s'emparent de l'esprit et puis de la plume… Quelle idiotie ! À mon âge ! Oubliez je vous en prie cette absurdité. Je demeure, avec raison alors je crois, tout à fait anxieux des suites de votre démarche auprès du Ministère. Quelle suite y ont donné ces messieurs ? Pensent-ils à… Read More
