DIDEROT, Denis (1713-1784)
Le Neveu de Rameau, Voyage de Hollande. Œuvres inédites, précédées d’un fragment sur les ouvrages de l’auteur par Goëthe. Paris : J.L.J. Brière, 1821 [1823].
Édition originale posthume : exemplaire grand de marges. "Caractère insatiable, rationaliste « extrêmement sensible », déterministe ivre de liberté, Diderot est l’homme des contradictions, jusque dans sa vie intime : « J’avais en une journée cent physionomies diverses, selon la chose dont j’étais affectée » (Salon de 1767). […] [La] forme dialoguée permet à Diderot les plus grandes audaces, mais sur le papier et pour lui seulement : ne voulant pas risquer la prison, bien des œuvres resteront dans ses cartons et ne verront le jour qu’après sa mort. […] Conte, dialogue, satire (le manuscrit porte le titre « Satyre 2de »), Le Neveu de Rameau est tout cela à la fois, et bien davantage encore. […] Chaque ligne reflète une jubilation de l’écriture, chaque lecture suscite de nouvelles réflexions et renforce l’admiration. » (En Français dans le texte, n°153) Édition originale du texte, ce vingt-et-unième volume sans tomaison des Œuvres éditées par Brière est en réalité paru en 1823, malgré un maintien par l’éditeur de la date de 1821 sur l’ensemble de l’édition. Brunet II, 700 ; Tchemerzine, II, 975-976

In-8 (220 x 135 mm). Reliure signée Georges Huser : demi-maroquin brun à coins, papier marbré sur les plats et les gardes, dos à nerfs orné, couverture et dos conservés, tête dorée sur témoins.

First edition, published posthumously. Wide-margined copy, bound by Huser.
