Victor HUGO - Signed autograph letter
Victor HUGO (1802 - 1885), French writer. In exile, since the coup d'état of December 2, 1851 by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, Victor Hugo has kept a prolific literary and letter-writing activity. In
1862 he published "Les Misérables" and in 1865 his collection of poems "Songs of the streets and of the woods".
Autograph letter signed "VH" to a friend. October 19 (1865); 2 pages in-12 ° on blue paper, address on 4th page. Small 5ml ink corrosion hole with loss of a word.
Beautiful letter from the poet who evokes in turn the affair of a usurpation of his identity, his work, the marriage of his son Charles: "Your sense of the law has not deceived you. This ordinary
gentleman is not related to me, and wants to exploit my name. I had no brother called Leopold. The eldest was called Abel and the second Eugene. What you tell me on another question is also correct,
and reveals your deep sense of art. Yet think about it. B. belongs to art, and to true art. He's a poet. Hence the exception that I ask for him, and on which I insist. As I wrote to ML, B. is
anthology. I entrust all of this to you. I write in haste. What you tell me about Ch. Des R. and B. [Chansons des rue et des bois, collection of poems published in Belgium in 1865 and the year after
in France] charms me. You are a delicate mind as well as a firm and kind heart. We married Charles yesterday [marriage of his son Charles Hugo on October 17th to Alice Lehaene]. My best wishes go
from you to him (…) "
