Condition: Good plus. First Edition. First French edition of Forster's A PASSAGE TO INDIA, translated from the English by Charles Mauron, influential psychoanalytic literary critic and close friend to the Bloomsbury circle. Originally trained as a research chemist, Mauron was first pulled towards psychoanalytic theory and the hu…manities by his wife, writer Marie Mauron, and their "serendipitous meeting" with Roger Fry during Fry's 1919 cycling tour through Provence (Tambling). Fry found him to be a "delightful creature" of "extraordinary sensibility, and his Bloomsbury friends soon came to share his opinion; Virginia Woolf would later write to Mauron: "I feel I could learn more from you about writing than from any English critic." Mauron produced influential French translations of Woolf, both Lawrences (D.H. and T.E.), and Henry James, but was best known for his "sensitive, nuanced, and careful" (Caws & Wright) translations of Forster, with whom he enjoyed a lifelong friendship and to whom he offered occasional advice as well as praise, telling him in 1929: "[Y]ou have too much respect for people and human relations: love them, if you want to but don't respect them. Respect is sad and heavy. Read some Aristophanes every evening and above all don't give a twig for the intelligentsia which doesn't really matter." 7.75'' x 5''. Original printed wrappers. 394, [2] pages. Rear wrapper cleanly detached. Moderate edgewear, light toning, slight spine lean.
