About this Item

Description:

- Victor-Havard, Paris 1885, 12x19cm, relié. - Édition originale sur papier courant. Reliure à la bradel en demi percaline marron, dos lisse, double filet et date dorés en queue, pièce de titre de chagrin rouge, plats de papier marbré, couvertures conservées et montées sur onglets, ex-libris Léon Hennique réalisé par Léon Glaize et gravé par E. Dété encollé sur une garde, reliure de l'époque. Précieux envoi autographe signé de Guy de Maupassant sur son plus célèbre roman, à un confrère naturaliste : « À Léon Hennique, son ami ». Léon Hennique, l'écrivain « avec qui il a si souvent canoté à Bougival au temps de sa folle jeunesse », assista à la trépidante ascension sociale de Maupassant, si proche de celle du protagoniste de Bel-Ami. Il avait participé aux côtés de Maupassant au « manifeste » naturaliste publié sur l'initiative d'Émile Zola, Les Soirées de Médan (1880). Des six nouvelles que composent l'ouvrage, ce fut Boule de Suif de Maupassant qui avait d'ailleurs suscité les plus emphatiques louanges de ses amis. Deux ans plus tard, en gage de son amitié, Maupassant avait dédié à Hennique une autre de ses nouvelles, La Rempailleuse, parue dans Le Gaulois. Jusqu'à la mort de Maupassant, Hennique resta pour lui un ami fidèle et est crédité pour avoir donné l'idée à l'origine de sa célèbre nouvelle, Le Horla. Bel exemplaire de ce chef-d' uvre « étonnamment moderne » (Joseph Vebret), joliment établi en reliure de l'époque réalisée pour Léon Hennique. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] First edition on ordinary paper. Contemporary half brown cloth Bradel binding over marbled paper boards, double fillet and gilt date to foot of spine, red shagreen title-label, covers mounted on guards and preserved, ex libris of Léon Hennique by Léon Glaize (engraved by E. Dété) on the front endpaper. Important association copy, signed and inscribed by Guy de Maupassant : "A Léon Hennique, son ami [For Léon Hennique, his friend]". Childhood friend of Maupassant Léon Hennique, spent many a day rowing witht the writer at Bougival during his wild youth. He witnessed Maupassant's thrilling rise to fame and social status, akin to that of the protagonist in Bel-Ami. They both published a short story in the Naturalist 'manifesto' Les Soirées de Médan (1880) on Émile Zola's initiative. Among the six stories in the collection, Maupassant's Boule de Suif garnered the most enthusiastic praise from his peers. Two years later, as a token of friendship, Maupassant dedicated to Hennique another of his short stories, La Rempailleuse, published in the French newspaper Le Gaulois. Hennique remained a loyal friend until Maupassant's death and gave the writer the idea behind his famous short story, Le Horla. A fine copy of this 'astonishingly modern' (Joseph Vebret) masterpiece, elegantly bound in a contemporary binding made for Léon Hennique. Seller Inventory # 55916
