Estimate value
€ 1 000 – 1 500
GIDE, André (1869-1951)
Paludes. Paris : Librairie de l'art indépendant, 1895.

Exemplaire sur Hollande antique, à toutes marges, avec envoi autographe signé de l'auteur : "à Philippe Fille, en respectueux hommage, André Gide". L'auteur inscrit également une citation de Virgile : "Sit Tityrus Orpheus", qui inspira le nom du personnage principal du roman, Tityre. Le sous-titre de l'ouvrage, "Traité de la contingence", annonce le principe de composition romanesque suivi par Gide pour ce livre ; il n'apparaîtra plus dans les éditions postérieures. "Les hasards de l'édition ont laissé de côté une indication paratextuelle qui dit assez précisément la visée du roman de Gide. [...] Dans le sillage de la contestation romanesque qui s'est fait jour à la fin du XIXe siècle, Paludes d'André Gide se présente comme la formule la plus audacieuse et la plus ludique de dépassement des modèles en vigueur." (J.-P. Bertrand) Talvart et Place, VII, n° 6A ; J.-P. Bertrand, "Paludes : traité de la contingence" Études françaises, 32(3), pp. 129-142.

"Avant d'expliquer aux autres mon livre, j'attends que d'autres me l'expliquent. Vouloir l'expliquer d'abord c'est en restreindre aussitôt le sens ; car si nous savons ce que nous voulions dire, nous ne savons pas si nous ne disons que cela. On dit toujours plus que CELA." (Avertissement au lecteur)
