ARLAND (Marcel). - Lot 33
ARLAND (Marcel). Born in Varennes-sur-Amance. 1899- 1986. Novelist, essayist and critic. L.A.S. "Marcel Arland" to publisher Bernard Grasset. Chaussy, n.d. 1 page small in-4 on paper addressed to him. [A few lines have been added in the upper right corner and crossed out]. Congratulates Bernard Grasset on his essay Remarques sur le bonheur, published by Gallimard in 1931: ...You are right in saying that it is rather an essay on misfortune. But this character gives the book a certain tension, and a dramatic allure, made even more sensitive and touching by the classical discretion of the language and the absence of artifice. A remark like the last: "It's sometimes towards what they call..." is moving and far-reaching... M. Arland added a few lines, then crossed them out: ...Is it indiscreet to ask you for Degas' letters. I believe they were published by you. In connection with them, I would like to respond to Lhote's disparagement of Degas...
