CHATEAUBRIAND, François-René de (1768-1848). Mémoires d'outre-tombe. Paris : Eugène et Victor Penaud, 1849-1850.



Édition originale de l'un des chefs-d'oeuvre de la littérature française du XIXe siècle. Elle a paru quelques mois après le décès de Chateaubriand, qui en avait cédé les droits à une société de souscripteurs formée par H.-L. Delloye : "Dieu aidant [...], j'espère que ni vous ni les actionnaires, dans un temps donné, n'auront à regretter d'être devenus les propriétaires de mes Mémoires". Réalisée entre janvier 1849 et juillet 1850, cette publication fut un échec commercial. Justice ne sera rendue à l'oeuvre qu'à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Bel exemplaire à grandes marges et complet des couvertures dans une sobre reliure de Maylander.

Carteret I, 163 ; Vicaire II, 290 ; En français dans le texte n° 268.



12 vols in-8 (219 x 132 mm). Complet de la liste des souscripteurs et de la lettre de Chateaubriand à Delloye. Reliure signée Maylander : maroquin noir, dos à nerfs, lettres dorées, tranches dorées sur témoins, doublures de moire verte dans un encadrement de maroquin noir surligné de multiples filets dorés, couvertures et dos conservés, étui (dos passés, mais exemplaire très frais). Provenance : Eriksen (ex-libris).
