couverture souple. - Mercure de France, Paris 1906, 12x19cm, broché. - Edition originale de la traduction française, des notes et de la préface établies par Marcel Proust, un des exemplaires de première émission numérotés à la presse. Agréable exemplaire. Précieux envoi autographe signé de Marcel Proust au diplomate, homme politique et historien Gabriel Hanotaux, grand ami du père de Proust, Adrien Proust, et que Marcel choisira comme premier modèle du mentor Norpois dans La Recherche. En effet, Hanotaux joua un rôle très important dans l'éducation du jeune Proust. Il est sans doute à l'origine de son premier emploi après sa licence de droit, un poste d'attaché non rétribué à la Bibliothèque Mazarine duquel Proust s'échappera régulièrement en invoquant la protection d'Hanotaux. "L'histoire a fait de l'ancien ministre des Affaires étrangères Gabriel Hanotaux, par son désir de rester attaché à la vitalité politique de son temps, et par le fait qu'il avait croisé le fer avec le jeune Marcel Proust à propos de sa vocation littéraire, le modèle le plus intéressant du marquis de Norpois. Porte-parole d'une vie d'action et d'une écriture journalistique, il a réussi comme le professeur Adrien Proust, mais mieux que lui peut-être, à incarner le parfait paternalisme." (Finn, Michael R. "Norpois, Père Ou Mentor?" Revue d'Histoire Littéraire de La France 93, no. 1) Plus qu'un simple envoi d'amitié, cette dédicace sur sa seconde traduction de Ruskin, mais surtout sur sa célèbre préface "sur la lecture", anonciatrice du chef d'oeuvre à venir, est une véritable demande de reconnaissance intellectuelle au mentor de sa jeunesse, mais également la marque de son émancipation, à l'instar du narateur de La Recherche envers le marquis de Norpois.

Paper. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. An Original Hand Written and Signed Letter by Philosopher John Ruskin to Paleontologist, Thomas Rupert Jones. Letter dated 1864. Ruskin writes in December 1864 to the geologist and paleontologist, Thomas Rupert Jones: My dear Sir, Thank you for your note of the 29th putting me in mind of Geographical magazine. I have instantly ordered it: it will be of the greatest value to me. I am oppressed with accidental work just now ? but I should like to send you a paper on that subject When would you want it? Truly yours, J. Ruskin. Ruskin made a slip of the pen. The periodical was actually Geological Magazine, which had been established in July 1864 and continues today as one of the oldest and best-known periodicals in the Earth Sciences. Jones was the original editor. The letter is written on the front page of plain, black-bordered four-leaf notepaper measuring 7? x 4½?. It has folds and light markings. John Ruskin 1819 ? 1900 was a polymath, the leading English art critic of the Victorian era, as well as an art patron, draughtsman, watercolourist, philosopher, prominent social thinker and philanthropist. He wrote on subjects as varied as geology, architecture, myth, ornithology, literature, education, botany and political economy. Size 178mm x110mm. Condition is good.
