les curés auraient agi de représailles et qu´ils auraient obtenu par l´influence de l´impératrice que soit refusé le tableau de cette année les femmes que je vous envoie´ («it seems that by memory of the conference the priests would have acted in reprisals and that they would have obtained by the influence of the empress that the painting of this year the women, which i send to you, be refused »)

1850-51 paris salon created an immediate and explosive reaction. the very large scale painting is displayed at the musée d´orsay in paris. courbet said ` the burial at ornans was in fact the burial of

francisco jose de: (1746-1828) spanish painter. goya is considered the most important spanish painter of the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries and is regarded as the last of the old masters and the first of the moderns. a precursor of the expressionism. his masterpiece portrayal of a naked woman, la maja desnuda (\"the naked maja\"), now in the museo del prado in madrid, was a remarkably daring nude for the time, renowned for the unashamed gaze of the model towards the viewer without negative connotations. an exceptionally rare l.s., ` fran [cis] co de goya´, three pages, 4to, bordeaux, 30 th november 1824, to the duchess of san fernando, in spanish. goya apologies for his hasty departure from paris preventing him from saying goodbye to her himself, stating in part ` cuando salí de paris para venir a esta [ciudad], dispuse atropelladamente mi viaje; el tiempo urgía, me hallaba sin dinero, y admití la oferta de unos amigos que me anticiparon los gastos del camino\u2026´  ( translation: ` when i left paris to come to this [city] , i hastily organized my trip; time was urgent, i was without money, and i accepted the offer of some friends who anticipated the expenses of the trip\u2026\") goya is still not sure about his near future and explains that his has requested to the king of spain an extension of his permission to leave his court painter obligations, saying ` aqui estoy, sin saber lo que debo hacer de mi.  he pedido una prórroga, siquiera para poder pasar el invierno al calor de la chimenea, y no se si s [u] m [ajestad] tendrá a bien de concedérmela\u2026´  ( translation: \" here i am, not knowing what i should make of myself. i have asked for an extension, at least that i can spend the winter in the warmth before a fireplace, and i don't know if h [is] m [ajesty] will be good enough to grant it to me\u2026\") further again, goya explains in full detail what the present he has sent to his correspondent is, being some drafts, drawings and figurines of three dwarfs, stating in part ` me tomo la libertad de remitir a v.e. esos tres comisionados , a quienes doy el encargo especial de asegurarla cuan agradecido estoy a la memoria que conserva de mi, y cuanto deseo complacerla y servirla.  son tres enanos que se presentaron en la feria de burdeos dos meses hace, y me pareció conveniente sacar un tanteo de sus caras y sus figurillas. el de los pantaloncitos tiene 18 pulgadas, de los otros dos (que son marido y mujer) ella tiene 21 pulgadas y el esposo 20.  celebraré que cumplan su comisión, según los deseos del invalido que los envia´ (translation: ` i take the liberty of sending to y.e. those three commissioners [referring to his three dwarfs figurines] , to whom i give the special charge of assuring you how grateful i am to the memory you keep of me, and how much i wish to please and serve you. they are three dwarfs who appeared at the bordeaux fair two months ago, and i thought it convenient to make a test of their faces and their figurines. the one with the short trousers is 18 inches, and the other two (who are husband and wife) she is 21 inches and the husband is 20. i will celebrate that they fulfil their commission, according to the wishes of the invalid who sends them\" [goya refers here to himself]) goya has a lengthy list of important portraits paintings of dwarfs. an exceptional document, with very interesting content related to goya´s last years, short after his arrival to france, and referring to his work on three dwarves he met at a fair in bordeaux. a letter in very fine condition. vg \n  \n goya became a court painter to the spanish crown in 1786 and this early part of his career is marked by portraits of the spanish aristocracy. in 1793 an illness left him deaf, after which his work became progressively darker. in 1799 goya became the first court painter, the highest rank for a spanish court painter, under king charles iv of spain.  \n during the peninsular war and napoleon´s invasion of spain, goya remained in madrid, and his series of paintings disasters of war , or his painting the second of may 1808 , show how much this war affected him deeply, fearing for his country´s fate. he also painted important portraits of the royal spanish family and of lord wellington.  \n his late period is marked by the black paintings, on the plaster walls of his own house \"la quinta del sordo\" (\"the house of the deaf man\") where disillusioned by political and religious corruption, and by social developments in spain, he lived near isolation. he also painted dwarves, and persons with insanity or in mental asylums, as well as themes related with witches and fantastical creatures.  \n  \n goya abandoned spain in 1824, the year of the present letter, to retire to the french city of bordeaux from where the present letter is written. he was accompanied by his maid and companion leocadia weiss, 42 years younger than him, although it remains unclear if she was or not his lover.  \n it was at that time and in bordeaux where goya completed his well-known series of paintings la tauromaquia, depicting bullfighting scenes.  \n  \n goya died and was buried in bordeaux, but was later re-interred in the royal hermitage of san antonio de la florida in madrid. famously, the skull was missing, and the spanish consul to bordeaux reported so to his superiors in madrid, who wired back \" send goya, with or without head\". \n  \n the present letter is most probably in the hand of leandro fernández de moratín (1760-1828) spanish dramatist, poet, and translator of works of moliere and shakespeare into spanish. goya made his friend´s portrait in his late years in bordeaux. fernandez de moratin lived his late years in exile in france and died in paris only two months after goya passed away in bordeaux.  \n  \n the present letter is written to maria luisa of bourbon and villabriga (1783-1846) duchess of san fernando de quiroga. she was directly related to several kings of spain, being the grand-daughter of philip v, the niece of charles iii, and cousin of charles iv. maria luisa and her husband, first duke of san fernando, went into exile in 1823 to paris."},"estimateMax":60000,"lotNumber":"653","title":{"es":"goya francisco jose de:

features would be recorded in her passport, noting her hair, black eyes, and pearl grey complexion, as well as several special features. \u2018 chevaux, colombes. eventails, plumes d'autruches\u2026..

shameful and face-to-hand discomfort like a cripple\u2019s crutch. yet we should talk about this cloud which puts distances between her person and the rest of the world, which makes her blind and a poodle. but we had never seen such a pretty blind man led by such a knowledgeable poodle\u2019 ). cocteau follows with a sestet \u2013 \n  une etoile d'amour  ,  une etoile d'ivresse,   les amants, les maitresses ,  aiment la nuit et le jour ,  un poete m'a dit qu'il etait une etoile ,  ou l'on aime toujours .  \n translation: \n  a star of love  ,  a star of intoxication ,  lovers, mistresses ,

whom our soul has always lived give us. never too late, it is true the gentle light laurencin, if it shines for some and is still on its way to others\u2019 ). cocteau then writes of laurencin\u2019s paintings. \u2018un tableau de marie laurencin regarde, ecoute, comme les chevreuils. si une personne qui n'aime pas les betes s'approche, si un chasseur e'paule son arme, le tableau disparait. nous avons la joie d'etre de ceux qui les caressent. car marie laurencin aime les poetes. elle n'aime que les poetes. et moi qui l'ai connue bien apres salmon, apollinaire, fleuret, moreas. j'ai eu la surprise d'un homme du nord qui verrait une rose, en chair et en os, apres avoir entendu parler d'elle dans ronsard et dans les catalogues de fleurs. il serait donc ridicule de vous apprendre que marie laurencin porte un nom delicieux qui rime avec sein, dessin, coussin, clavecin, assassin; qu'elle fait penser a watteau, a goya, aux liaisons dangereuses, aux livres de madame de segur et aux fables de la fontaine, que licornes lechent son eventail qui ne montre que des yeux comme un volet espagnol, que ses couleurs favorites sont le bleu le gris et le rose, que sa peinture n'est pas de la peinture litteraire mais de la peinture de grand peintre et de grand poete, qu'il ne faut pas confondre avec la peinture poetique. du reste, marie laurencin est un poete. ecoutez plutot: roi d'espagne prenez votre manteau, et un couteau, au jardin zoologique, il ya a un tigre paralytique, mais royal, et le regarder fait mal. vous retrouverez dans cette petite piece ecrite pendant la guerre a madrid, l'intonation d'une aristocrate\u2019 (translation: \u2018a painting by marie laurencin looks, listens, like deer. if a person who does not like animals approaches, if a hunter shoulders his weapon, the picture disappears. we have the joy of being among those who caress them. because marie laurencin loves poets. she only likes poets. and i know her well after salmon, apollinaire, fleuret, moreas. i had the surprise of a man from the north who would see a rose, in the flesh, after having heard about it in ronsard and in flower catalogues. it would therefore be ridiculous to tell you that marie laurencin has a delicious name that rhymes with sein, dessin, coussin, clavecin, assassin; that she makes us think of watteau, of goya, of dangerous liaisons, of the books of madame de segur and the fables of la fontaine, that unicorns lick her fan which only shows eyes like a spanish shutter, that her favourite colours are the blue, grey and pink, that her painting is not literary painting, but the painting of a great painter and a great poet, which should not be confused with poetic painting. besides, marie laurencin is a poet. listen instead: king of spain take your coat, and a knife. in the zoological garden, there is a paralytic tiger, but royal, and looking at it hurts. you will find in this little piece written during the war in madrid, the intonation of an aristocrat\u2019 ). cocteau also makes reference to the paintings of picasso, \u2018la toile, en apparence, la plus hautaine de picasso met en branle nos curiosites. nous cherchons quels objets la motivent. nous y entrons. nous collaborons. peu a peu son univers commande. nous admettons qu'il reorganise la notre. alors, devenus familiers de son oeuvre, nous ne sommes plus timides. mais ici nous voila genes comme par l'ooeil d'un chien qui nous regarde, comme par une conversation avec un enfant ou avec une reine. le privilige qui nous vaut de ne pas mettre l'animal en fuite, de ne pas faire crier l'enfant, d'etre admis en presence auguste, ne brise pas la glace. peut-etre que tous ces personnages de conte de fees n'attendent qu'un geste irrespectueux pour sortir du charme. ils peuvent attendre: nul ne l'ose\u2019 (translation: \u2018the painting, apparently picasso\u2019s most haughty, sets our curiosities in motion. we look for what objects motivate him. we enter it. we collaborate. little by little his world takes control. we admit that he reorganises ours. so, having become familiar with his work, we are no longer shy. but here we find ourselves embarrassed as by the eye of a dog looking at us, as by a conversation with a child or with a queen. the privilege which gives us not to put the animal to flight, not to make the child scream, to be admitted into the august presence, does not break the ice. maybe all these fairy tale characters are just waiting for one disrespectful gesture to break the spell. they can wait: no one dares\u2019 ). cocteau concludes by recounting the circumstances when laurencin painted his portrait, \u2018maintenant, je vais vous raconter comment marie laurencin peignait mon portrait......c'est le genre des oiseaux qui nidifient. de temps en temps ils transportent une brindille. marie laurencin chante. elle se leve. elle me montre un exercice de gymnastique. elle tourne dans la chambre. elle cherche de l'essence.

the original paper wrappers, with cocteau\u2019s title to the front, \u2018marie laurencin par jean cocteau\u2019 , also adding a small drawing of a pink heart beneath his name. also included within

micromegas , however relationships with frederick began to sour after voltaire was accused of theft and forgery by abraham hirschel, a jewish financier. other difficulties arose for voltaire including an argument with maupertuis provoked by the former\u2019s diatribe du docteur akakia which satirised some of maupertuis\u2019s theories and his persecutions of johann samuel konig, a mutual acquaintance. this greatly angered frederick the great who ordered all copies of the work to be burned. voltaire offered to resign his post and return his insignia of the order of merit, however frederick at first refused until eventually allowing voltaire to leave in march 1752.  \n provenance: from the celebrated collection of robert de flers (1872-1927) french playwright, opera librettist

(1694-1778) french enlightenment writer and philosopher. voltaire is a pseudonym, his name being françois-marie arouet. voltaire is known for his attacks on catholic church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion and expression, and separation of church and state. a rare fully autograph lengthy letter with excellent content, a.l.s., ` \n voltaire ´, three pages, 4to, luneville, 19th november 1748, to a dutch editor and librarian, in french. voltaire returned in 1748 to luneville after his mistress asked him to do so, and was kindly welcomed by king stanislas. he devoted himself mainly to the theatre and performed his own plays at the castle stage. voltaire starts urging his correspondent to send a preface he has since long and thanks him also for a present he intends to send to him, stating in part `\u2026 \n je n´ai point reçu la preface qui doit être mise au devant de l´édition et qu´on vous envoya il y a près d´un an. \n je vous prie de la mettre dans le paquet adressé

grateful to you for such attention and i send you my very sincere thanks. i see that you do not have the feelings of a dutch bookseller, and your way of working renews the wish that i have to be useful to you\u201d) voltaire thanks his correspondent´s aim but politely dismisses the present, and announces that he is about to finish a work that he will forward to the dutch editor, saying in part ` \n je vous destine l´histoire de la guerre présente que j´aurai achevée dans quelques mois\u2026  \n je recevrai avec plaisir quelques exemplaires de votre edition, cést bien assez et si vous

denis: (1713-1784) french philosopher, art critic and writer, a significant figure during the age of enlightenment. an extremely rare and important autograph manuscript, unsigned, seven pages, 8vo, n.p., n.d (c.1771), in french. the manuscript, written in diderot\u2019s small, neat hand, is entitled satyre contre le luxe a la mainiere de perse ( \u2018satire against luxury in the persian style\u2019 ) and takes the form of a dialogue between two characters, the first a sceptic of the times, not far removed from jean-jacques rousseau, radical in his rejection of luxury and what it represents, and the second character one who judges that all is not so bad in the world as it is. \u2018vous jetez sur les diverses societes de l'espece humaine un regard si chargin, que je ne connais plus guere qu'un moyen de vous contenter: c'est de ramener l'age d'or\u2019 (translation: \u2018you look at the various societies of the human race with such a distrustful eye that i can think of only one way of satisfying you: that is to bring back the golden age\u2019 ) begins the second, and with spartan austerity, the former rejects all sweetness of life, \u2018vous vous trompez. une vie consumee a soupirer aux pieds d'une bergere n'est point de tout mon fait. je veux que l'homme travaille. je veux qu'il souffre. sous en etat de nature qui irait au-devant de tous ses voeux, ou la branche se courberait pour approcher le fruit de sa main, il serait faineant; et n'en deplaise aux poetes, qui dit faineant dit mechant\u2019 (translation: \u2018you're wrong. a life spent sighing at the feet of a shepherdess is not entirely my doing. i want man to work. i want him to suffer. under a state of nature which would fulfil all his wishes, or the branch would bend to bring the fruit nearer to his hand, he would be a faineant; and, with all due respect to the poets, who says faineant says villain \u2019), and rousseau\u2019s name is naturally introduced, \u2018depouillez-vous donc; suivez le conseil de jean-jacques, et faites-vous sauvage\u2019 (translation: \u2018take off your clothes; follow jean-jacques' advice, and make yourself wild\u2019 ) before the interlocutor sweeps aside the voltairean irony and gives the subject a political twist, \u2018ce serait bien le mieux. la, du moins, il n'ya a d'inegalite que celle qu'il a plu a la nature de mettre entre ses enfants; et les forets ne retentissent pas de cette variete de plaintes, que des maux sans nombre arrachent a l'homme dans ce bienheureux etat de la societe\u2019 (translation: \u2018that would be the best. here, at least, there is no inequality except that which it has pleased nature to place between her children; and the forests do not resound with that variety of complaints, which countless evils wring from man in this blessed state of society\u2019 ), the other attempts moderation and advocates a form of resignation to the order of things as it is, \u2018mon ami, aimons notre paitre; aimons nos contemporains; soumettons-nous a un ordre de choses qui pourrait par hasard etre meilleur ou plus mauvais; jouissons des avantages de notre condition. si nous y voyons des defauts, et il y en a sans doute, attendons-en le remede de l'experience et de la sagesse de nos maitres; et restons ici\u2019 (translation: \u2018my friend, let us love our pasture; let us love our contemporaries; let us submit to an order of things which might by chance be better or worse; let us enjoy the advantages of our condition. if we see any faults in it, and there undoubtedly are, let us await the remedy of the experience and wisdom of our masters; and let us remain here\u2019 ), and then the other launces into a violent diatribe against corrupting money, \u2018rester ici, moi! moi! y reste celui qui peut voir avec patience un peuple qui se pretend civilise, et le plus civilise de la terre, mettre a l'encan l'exercise des fonctions civiles; mon coeur se gonfle, et un jour de ma vie, non, un jour de ma vie, je ne le passe pas sans charger d'imprecations celui qui rendit les charges venales. car c'est de la, oui. c'est de la et de la situation des grands exacteurs que sont decoules tous nos maux. au moment ou l'on put arriver a tout avec de l'or, on voulut avoir de l'or; et le merite, qui ne conduisait a rien, ne fut rien. il n'y eut plus aucune emulation honnete. l'educatin resta sans aucune base solide\u2019 (translation: \u2018to remain here, me! me! to remain here is to be the one who can patiently watch a people who claim to be civilised, and the most civilised on earth, auction off the exercise of civil functions; my heart swells, and one day of my life, no, one day of my life, i will not spend it without charging with imprecations the one who made the offices venal. for it is from this, yes. it is from this and from the situation of the great tax collectors that all our ills have arisen. at the moment when one could achieve everything with gold, one wanted to have gold; and merit, which led to nothing, became nothing. there was no longer any honest emulation. education remained without any solid foundation\u2019 ), further describing the deleterious effects of the race for wealth, the desire to possess more and more that leads humanity to its ruin, \u2018l'elephant se gonfla pour accroitre sa taille, la boeuf imita l'elephant; la grenouille eut la meme manie, qui remonta d'elle a l'elephant; et, dans ce mouvement reciproque, les trois animaux perirent: triste, mais image reelle d'une nation abandonnee a un luxe, symbole de la richesse des uns, et masque de la misere generale du reste\u2019 (translation: \u2018the elephant inflated itself to increase its size, the ox imitated the elephant; the frog had the same mania, which went up from it to the elephant; and, in this reciprocal movement, the three animals lost: sad, but a real image of a nation abandoned to a luxury, symbol of the wealth of some, and mask of the general misery of the rest\u2019 ), as well as the corruption of the morals, the contempt for study, the disappearance of all decency being the consequences, \u2018on rampa, on s'avilit, on se prostitua dans toutes les conditions. il n'y eut plus de distinction entre les moyens d'acquerir. honnetes, malhonnetes, tous furent bons\u2019 (translation: \u2018we crawled, we debased ourselves, we prostituted ourselves in all conditions. there was no longer any distinction between the means of acquisition. honest, dishonest, all were good\u2019 ), the other then advances the argument that this luxury engenders the development of art and industry, \u2018mais ne vous rejouissez-vous pas de voir la debauche, la dissipation, le faste, ecrouler ces masses enormes d'or? c'est par ce , oyen qu'on nous restitue goutte a goutte ce sang dont nous sommes epuises. il nous revient par une foule de mains occupees. ce luxe, contre lequel vous vous recriez, n'est-ce pas lui qui soutient le ciseau dans la main du statuaire, la palette au puce du peintre, la navette?\u2019 (translation: \u2018but don't you rejoice to see debauchery, dissipation and splendour crush these huge masses of gold? it is by this means that we are given back drop by drop the blood from which we are exhausted. it comes back to us through a host of busy hands. this luxury, against which you recoil, is it not that which sustains the chisel in the hand of the statuary, the palette on the chip of the painter, the shuttle?\u2019 ), but art is nothing if not compared by virtue, and again rousseau\u2019s austerity is expressed in its purest form, \u2018oui, beaucoup d'ouvrages, et beaucoup d'ouvrages mediocres. si les moeurs sont corrompues, croyez-vous que le gout puisse reste pur? non, non, cela ne se peut; et si vous le croyez, c'est que vous ignorez l'effet de la vertu sur les beaux-arts. et que m'importent vos praxitele et vos phidas? que m'importent vos apelle? que m'importent vos poemes divins? que m'importent vos riches etoffes? si vous etes mechants, si vous etes indigents, si vous etes corrompus\u2019 (translation: \u2018yes, many works, and many mediocre works. if morals are corrupt, do you think that taste can remain pure? no, no, that cannot be; and if you believe so, it is because you are unaware of the effect of virtue on the fine arts. and what do your praxiteles and your phidas matter to me? what do i care about your apelles? what do i care about your divine poems? what do i care about your rich fabrics? if you are wicked, if you are destitute, if you are corrupt\u2019 ) and this race for wealth goes so far as to call into question the survival of mankind, \u2018o luxe funeste, enfant de la richesse! tu detruis tout, et le gout et les moeurs; tu arretes la pente la plus douce de la nature. le riche craint de multiplier ses enfants. le pauvre craint de multiplier les malheureux. les villes se depeuplent. on laisse languir sa fille dans le celibat. il faudrait sacrifier a sa dot un equipage, une table somptueuse\u2019 (translation: \u2018o fatal luxury, child of wealth! you destroy everything, both taste and morals; you stop nature's gentlest slope. the rich man fears to multiply his children. the poor fears to multiply the unfortunate. the cities are de-populated. his daughter is left to languish in celibacy. her dowry would have to be sacrificed in the form of equipment and a sumptuous table\u2019 ). shaken by such a tirade, the former again attempts conciliation, \u2018voila, sans doute, un luxe pernicieux, et contre lequel je vous permets a vous et a nos philosophes de se recrier. mais n'en est-il pas un autre qui se concilierait avec les moeurs, la richesse, l'aisance, la splendeur et la force d'une nation?\u2019 (translation: \u2018this is undoubtedly a pernicious luxury, and one against which i allow you and our philosophers to protest. but is there not another that would be compatible with the morals, wealth, ease, splendour and strength of a nation?\u2019 ) and the other pays lip service to it, and launches into an eulogy of agriculture, the basis of everything, via his goddess ceres, and consequently into a social demand for the fate of peasants, \u2018ceres, les peintres, les poetes, les statuaires, les tapisseries, les porcelaines, et ces magots meme, gout ridicule, peuvent s'elever d'entre tes epis. maitres des nations, tendez la main a ceres; relevez ses autels. ceres est la mere commune de tout. maitres des nations, faites que vos campagnes soient fertiles; soulagez l'agriculteur du poids qui l'ecrase. que celui qui vous nourrit puisse vivre; que celui qui donne du lait a vos enfants ait du pain; que celui qui vous vetit ne soit pas nu\u2019 (translation: \u2018ceres, painters, poets, statues, tapestries, porcelain, and even these magots, ridiculous taste, can rise from your ears. masters of nations, extend your hand to ceres; raise up her altars. ceres is the common mother of all. masters of nations, make your countryside fertile; relieve the farmer of the burden that crushes him. let him who feeds you live; let him who gives milk to your children have bread; let him who calves you not be naked\u2019 ). at the conclusion of the text he sketches out a possible synthesis in which luxury and virtue could be reconciled, \u2018ce luxe sera le signe d'une opulence generale, et non le masque d'une misere commune. maitres des nations, otez a l'or son caractere representatif de tout merite. abolissez la venalite des charges. que celui qui a de l'or puisse avoir des palais, des jardins, des tableaux, des statutes, des vins delicieux, de belles femmes; mais qu'il ne puisse pretendre sans merite a aucune fonction honorable dans l'etat; et vous aurez des citoyens eclaires, des sujets vertueux\u2019 (translation: \u2018this luxury will be the sign of a general opulence, and not the mask of a common misery. masters of nations, strip gold of its representative character of all merit. abolish the venality of charges. let him who has gold be able to have palaces, gardens, paintings, statutes, delicious wines, beautiful women; but let him not be able to pretend without merit to any honourable office in the state; and you will have enlightened citizens, virtuous subjects\u2019 ). diderot concludes on a pessimistic note, \u2018ou irai-je donc? ou trouverai-je un etat de bonheir constant? ici, un luxe qui masque la misere; la, un luxe qui, ne de l'abondance, ne produit qu'une felicite passagere. ou faut-il que je naisse ou que je vive? ou est la demeure qui me promette et a ma posterite un bonheur durable?\u2019 (translation: \u2018where will i go? where will i find a constant state of happiness? here, a luxury that masks misery; there, a luxury which, lacking abundance, produces only temporary happiness. or must i be born or live? where is the home that promises me and my posterity lasting happiness?\u2019 ), and the first dismisses posterity, with resigned fatalism, as a preoccupation, \u2018vous etes un insense. vous voyez trop loin. qu'etiez-vous il ya quatre siecles pour vos aieux? rien. regardez avec le meme oeil des etres a venir qui sont a la meme distance de vous. soyez heureux. vos arriere-neveux deviendront ce qu'il plaira au destin, qui dispose de tout. dans l'empire, le ciel suscite un maitre qui amende ou qui detruit; dans le cycle des races, un descendant qui releve ou qui renverse. voila l'arret immuable de la nature. soumettez-vous-y\u2019 (translation: \u2018you're insane. you see too far. what were you four centuries ago to your ancestors? i was nothing. look with the same eye at future beings who are at the same distance from you. be happy. your great-nephews will become what it pleases fate, which disposes of everything. in the empire, heaven raises up a master who amends or destroys; in the cycle of races, a descendant who raises up or overthrows. this is the immutable decree of nature. submit to it\u2019 ). manuscripts of such important 18 th century texts are of exceptional rarity and seldom appear on the market. some light age wear and a couple of small, holes caused by dark singing to some pages, only very slightly affecting a few words of text. about vg \n  \n diderot\u2019s rich manuscript raises a number of important moral, political and philosophical issues around the question of luxury. a pre-revolutionary critique of 18 th century society takes shape, with the austere, spartan, accusatory figure of the man who condemns luxury, exposing the social injustice it covers up, and also condemning the corruption of morals and gallantry.  \n   \n the second character is more voltairean. while admitting its excesses, he does not reject civilisation and its benefits outright. he can\u2019t bring himself to accept art as nothing, even if it is, in the final analysis, the fruit of corruption.  \n   \n part of the text\u2019s strength lies in its ambiguity. it\u2019s not easy to decide which side diderot is on. neither character is a direct spokesman for him, and diderot himself seems to sway between the two positions."},"estimateMax":30000,"lotNumber":"699","title":{"es":"diderot denis:

coeur une vieille et profonde amitie. j'avais perdu depuis longtemps l'habitude de rencontrer votre appui pour mes ouvrages. je ne m'en plaignais pas. pourquoi donc auriez-vous continue de vous compromettre dans une amitie publique avec un homme qui n'apporte a ses amis qu'une contagion de haines, de calomnies et de persecutions? j'ai vu que vous vous retiriez de cette melee, et, vous aimant pour vous-meme, j'ai trouve cela bien. peu a peu, du silence et de l'indifference pour moi je vous ai vu passer a l'eloge, a l'enthousiasme, a l'acclamation pour mes ennemis, meme pour les plus

n'avias pas prevu, de la ma tranquillite parfaite, que c'etait une transition naturelle, irresistible peut-etre pour vous-meme, a une guerre contre moi. vous en voila donc aussi, l'attaque d'hier est sourde, obscure, ambigue, j'en conviens, mais elle ne m'en a pas moins frappe au coeur, elle n'en a pas moins eveille brusquement, comme une secousse electrique, plus de vingt personnes qui sont

relache et de toutes mains un reseau de haines et de calomnies autour de moi, le moment ou je suis place seul entre deux animosites egalement furieuses, le pouvoir qui me persecute, et cette cabale

receiving your support for my works. i wasn\u2019t complaining about it. why then would you continue to compromise yourself in a public friendship with a man who only brings to his friends a contagion of hatred, slander and persecution? i saw that you were withdrawing from this melee, and, loving you for yourself, i found it good. little by little, from silence and indifference for me, i saw you pass to praise, to enthusiasm, to acclamation for my enemies, even for the most ardent, the most bitter, the most odious. nothing but simple in this; because, after all, it is only a personal thing to me, and my enemies may very well have wit, talent and genius. it\u2019s quite simple, as i said, and far be it from me to complain about it for a single moment. i loved you no less, and (you would be wrong not to believe me, charles) from the bottom of my heart. i did not foresee, from my perfect tranquillity, that it was a natural transition, irresistible perhaps for you yourself, to a war against me. so here you are too. yesterday\u2019s attack is dull, obscure, ambiguous, i agree, but it no less struck me in the heart, it no less suddenly awakened me, like an electric shock. more than twenty people came to grieve with me. and what time did you take for this? the one where my enemies are rallying everywhere, more numerous and fiercer than ever, where they are snarling relentlessly and with all hands hatching a network of hatred and slander around me, the moment when i am placed alone between two equally furious animosities, the power that persecutes me, and this determined cabal that has taken up posts in almost all the newspapers. ah! charles! in a moment like this i had the right at least to count on your silence. or did i do something to you? why didn\u2019t you tell me? it\u2019s not that i\u2019m complaining about your criticism. it is fair, tight and true. it is singularly far from les orientales to lord byron: but, charles, were there not enough enemies to say so at this moment? you will no doubt be surprised, you will find me very touchy. what do you want? a friendship like mine for you is frank, cordial, deep, and does not break without tears and without pain. then, i am made like that. i don\u2019t mind the stilettos of my enemies; i feel the pinprick of a friend. after all, i don\u2019t blame you, tear up this letter, and think no more about it. what you wanted to break is broken, i will always suffer from it, but what does it matter! if anyone talks to me about it again, i will defend you like i defended you yesterday. but, believe me, it is

novelist was a regular attendee of nodier\u2019s soirees and together the two men made a memorable trip to reims in 1825 to attend king charles x\u2019s coronation. however, dissensions erupted in

dans les circonstances les plus legitimes, le met sous le coup d'une prise de corps. il doit 600 francs a l'hotel ou il a trouve pendant dix-huit mois le pain et le logement; ses ressources sont aujourd'hui tout a fait epuisees et le manque de parole d'un debiteur qu'il a en france le livre entierement a la merci de son creancier guernesiais. la susceptibilite la plus honorable l'a empeche de

good heart for a painful extremity which at this moment threatens one of your best comrades with exile, mr. cahaigne. you have probably not forgotten this name of one of the most convinced and loyal journalists of the february revolution. today, cahaigne, proscribed for six years, finds himself on the verge of seeing his proscription worsen in prison; a debt, contracted in the most legitimate circumstances, puts him under physical arrest. he owes 600 francs to the hotel where he found bread and accommodation for eighteen months; his resources are today completely exhausted and the lack of word from a debtor he has in france leaves him entirely at the mercy of his guernsey creditor. the most honourable susceptibility prevented him from calling on our emergency fund to provide for his small daily expenses, the total accumulated today and not yet liquidated constitutes his debt. on the other hand, this poor fund, poorly supplied by the indifference or forgetfulness of those who had until now helped their contingent cannot provide usefully and fruitfully for the distress of our comrade. is this not, my dear jourdan, a very interesting and very painful misery and does it not have everything it takes to motivate the sympathy and support of the generous people you may know? my father does everything he can here; but in the face of cahaigne\u2019s debt it is more than an individual effort that is needed, it is a collective effort. so, try to find it around you and, if you succeed, you will have contributed a good deed. i am convinced that your eagerness will not fail

ces profondes secousses, et réagit à leurs ébranlements. il lui a bien fallu, dans le combat qui, depuis les premiers jours d´août 1914, avec des trêves apparentes, mais sans arrêt, se livre sur toute la terre (guerres, revolutions, contre-révolutions, etc..) prendre parti dans l´une ou dans l´autre des armées. même ceux qui pretendent s´abstenir, par leur abstention même, favorisent celui des

which, since the first days of august 1914, with apparent truces, but without stopping, has been fought all over the world (wars, revolutions, counter-revolutions, etc.), it had to take part in one or the other of the armies.  even those who claim to abstain, by their abstention itself, favour that of the side which, at this moment when they desert, is the strongest side\u201d) rolland further states ` ce livre est la confession de l´écrivain qui s´efforça, pendant la guerre, de faire entendre sa voix \u201cau-dessus de la mêlée\u201d des nations, qui a tenté obstinément, après la guerre,

confrontant à la sévère réalité, se dépouiller de son manteau de préjugés, arracher les plus tenaces, les plus chers, qui nous collent à la peau: ces superstructures idéologiques, comme dit marx, qui

sincerely revising its entire ideology, by confronting it with harsh reality, to strip itself of its cloak of prejudices, to tear off the most tenacious, the most dear, which stick to our skin: these ideological superstructures, as marx says, which make a breed of the spirit and its servants, which separate them from the living environment... the spirit must enter into the row. it is the very condition for it to come back to life, in the living man, the integral man, the social man, the human man\u2026\u201d) before concluding, romain quotes a victor hugo sentence, and referring to his

million copies were distributed to troops and they didn\u2019t complain. we had some very war-like critics then. they had no patience with soldiers\u2019 and concluding \n \u2018in mexico i heard a story and made a long jump back to the tortilla flat time. i tried to write it as folk lore\u2026..i called it the pearl. it didn\u2019t do so well at first\u2026..but it seems to be gathering some friends or at least acquaintances. and that\u2019s the list in this volume. it is strange to me that i have lived so many lives. thinking back it seems an endless time \u2013 and only a moment\u2019 .

(translation: \u201c \u2026which has always been considered as much as a political object as well as a religious one\u2026\u201d) which he intends to take possession of with the approval of the

to manage the supply of rear-admiral brueys' squadron whose needs are in conflict with the interests of the land troops, stating in part ` vous mentionnez que, vu les besoins de votre escadre, vous comptez vous emparer de la cargaison du bâtiment venu de venise cahrgé de grains et de farines pour la división\u2026´ (translation: \u201c you mention that, given the needs of your squadron, you

the bullets that the admiral had taken there, stating ` \u2026parce que vous savez parfaitement que corfou ne peut pas être dépourvue du plomb ni de la poudre nécessaires à sa défense\u2026´

much they admire our republic, and that they consider the french troops as their liberators, stating in part ` on professe ici une admiration pour les français qui va jusqu\u2019à l\u2019enthousiasme.

all objects of public interest, without virtues or without enlightenment, opposed the progress of industry, of commerce and human reason\u2026\u201d) in this lengthy letter, gentili further reports on the military and administrative changes required, and indicates what he would keep under the naval point of view, saying ` je prendrais donc le parti de conserver seulement un vaisseau vénitien de 74

gentili before concluding explains that he has informed the ambassador in constantinople of the situation in corfu and the inexact number and condition of the venetian troops under his control, and

\n from 1386 to 1797, corfu was ruled by venetian nobility; much of the city reflects this era when the island belonged to the republic of venice, with multi-storeyed buildings on narrow lanes. the old town of corfu has clear venetian influence and is amongst the world heritage sites in greece. it was in the venetian period that the city saw the erection of the first opera house in greece.  \n by the 1797 treaty of campo formio, corfu was ceded to the french, who occupied it for two years, the time of the present letter. until they were expelled by a joint russian-ottoman squadron. for a short time it became the capital of a self-governing federation. in 1807 after the treaty of tilsit its faction-ridden government was again replaced by a french administration, and in 1809 it was besieged in vain by a british royal navy fleet, which had captured all the other ionian islands.  \n following the final defeat of napoleon at waterloo, the ionian islands became a protectorate of the

livrée constament à l´ignorance ou aux préjugés de nouveaux administrateurs\u2026´ (translation: \u201c as much as i had had pleasure in seeing general hédouville arrive in this colony, i was no longer able to give him my confidence because the good reputation with which he had been announced according to what was published about his pacifying and conciliatory character, as much i had sorrow to see him acting in a way entirely opposite to what his good qualities seemed to announce. the most perfect concord reigned upon his arrival and already germs of divisions are manifesting, he carries a suspicious mind against all the men who served the republic best, he dreams only conspiracy, gathering, and uprising; he takes for reality all the reports that all enemies of freedom give and behaves accordingly... i prefer to withdraw, as the colony is unfortunate to be constantly delivered to the ignorance or prejudice of new administrators\u2026\u201d) further again, toussaint louverture sends a very important warning and advice to the french government, predicting the future and stating in part ` je vous parle à coeur ouvert, citoyen et ami, pour bien établir le nouveau regime à saint domingue, il faut des hommes sans préjugés, sans passions, il faut des hommes froids et pacifiques et je ne sais où on a trouvé que le general hédouville avait le caractère pacificateur. s´il m´était possible de vous communiquer ma correspondence elle vous prouverait que je n´avance pas légèrement une opinion, toutes mes démarches sont amèrement censures, toutes mes actions blames et s´il n´accuse pas encore ouvertement mes intentions, je sens qu´il est très dispose à aller jusque là. il e nest de même pour tous les militaires qui comme moi ont bien servi la république et sans notre ardent attachement à la france à la liberté et à l´ordre si solidement établi, beaucoup d´entre eux eussent déjà donné leur demission car le découragement est dans toutes les âmes. que peut-on nous reprocher, c´est par nos soins, notre courage, notre patriotism, que la colonie est aujourd´hui totalement purgée d´ennemis, que les divisions sont anéanties, que l´ordre s´est établi, et que la culture a fait de grands progress\u2026´ (translation: \u201c i am speaking to you with an open heart, citizens and friends, to establish the new regime in saint-domingue you need men without prejudices, without passion, you need cold and peaceful men and i don't know where it was found that general hédouville had a pacifying character. if it was possible for me to communicate my correspondence, it would prove to you that i do not lightly advance my opinion. all my steps are bitterly censured, all my actions blamed and if he does not yet openly accuse my purposes, i feel that he is very willing to go as far as he can. the same for all the soldiers who like me have served the republic well and without their attachment to france, to liberty and to the order so solidly established, many of them would also have already given their resignations because discouragement is in all souls. what can we be blamed for? it is because of our care, our courage, our patriotism that the colony is today totally purged of enemies, that divisions are annihilated, that order is established, that culture has made great progress\u2026\u201d) further again, and before concluding, toussaint louverture seems to announce what can happen, and what will finally happen, saying ` j´entrai en campagne le treize pluviose, et avant le premier prairial, l´armée de la république avait conquis le mirbalais, les grands bois, la partie espagnole au pouvoir des anglaise, les montagnes de l´arcahaye et pris possession des places de saint-marc, l´arcahaye et port républicain\u2026 toutes

une très grande partie de l´armée va être licenciée, et d´jà j´ai comencé cette opération en renvoyant plus de trois mille soldats sur leurs habitations respectives sans que ce licenciment ait produit la plus légère sensation, ni la moindre réclamation. voila mon cher concitoyen les bonnes nouvelles que vous pouvez donner à la france. j´ai trouvé la colonie livrée à toutes les horreurs de la guerre civile, ruinée, incendiée, saccagée, je la rend à la france purgée d´ennemis extérieurs, tranquille et sa culture atant fait de grands progres\u2026. mon dernier voeu sera pour la france et mon dernier soupir pour la liberté. vous savez mon cher concitoyen avec quel acharnement on a accuse les noirs de barbarie et d´atrocités; ils voulaient être libres\u2026 on disait qu´ils éyaient les

arcahaye and took possession of the places of saint marc, the archaye and port-republican\u2026 all these places are in better condition than when they were delivered to the enemies of france; more than fifteen thousand blacks have entered the colony and have been spread out over their former homes. a very large part of the army is going to be dismissed and i have already begun this operation by sending back more than three thousand soldiers to their respective homes, without this dismissal producing the slightest sensation, nor the least complaint. here are my dear fellow citizen, the good news that you can give to france, i found the colony dismembered, delivered to all the horrors of the civil war, ruined, burned, ransacked, that makes france purged of external enemies, quiet and its culture having made great progress, .. my last wish will be for france, my last breath for liberty. you know, my dear fellow citizen, how relentlessly the blacks were accused of barbarism and atrocities; they wanted to be free, \u2026 it was said that they were the enemies of the whites and that they would never want to receive them in the colony, and now that the blacks have received their former masters with open arms\u2026\u201d) an excellent historical content letter. with spine reinforced. g to vg \n  \n gabriel d´hédouville, (1755-1825) comte d´hédouville.  french soldier and diplomat. toussaint  louverture was negotiating their withdrawal when france's latest commissioner,  gabriel d´hédouville , arrived in march 1798, with orders to undermine his authority. nearing the end of the revolution louverture grew substantially wealthy; owning numerous slaves, obtaining properties, and earning almost 300,000 livre per year. as leader of the revolution, this accumulated wealth made louverture the richest person on saint-domingue. louverture's actions evoked a collective sense of worry among the european powers and the us, who feared that the success of the revolution would inspire slave revolts across the caribbean, the south american colonies, and the southern united states."},"estimateMax":9000,"lotNumber":"922","title":{"es":"toussaint louverture

as regularly as i ought\u2019 ), adding that he does not recall having written to stuart on the subject of hay in lower beira, \u2018if i should want any article of that description, and money is to be laid out in the previous collection of it for a magazine for the british army, i shall employ a british commissary on the service, as i know from experience what a very good thing it is to give money to have a magazine collected for the british army by the portuguese. we can scarcely keep them out of the magazines we collect for ourselves and we should scarcely get into one which they should collect for us\u2019 and continuing to relay his views on the current state of affairs in frank terms, \u2018if it was not a matter of most serious importance, which may go not only to the safety of the army, but to the fate of the whole cause, i should be highly diverted by the bustle occasioned at lisbon by the danger of elvas. all of a sudden the utmost activity prevails, and all means are set at work to relieve distress which ought never to have existed, if common precautions had been taken, or if any measures had been adopted to feed general hamilton\u2019s division, excepting to throw their consumption upon the magazines of the fortress. after all this bustle will produce nothing in time; and if i cannot get up a sufficient supply from our magazines, i shall be obliged to fight a battle to save this place against the whole force of andalusia, castille and the centre of spain, with diminished force on my side. the enemy will be one fourth stronger than us in every arm, nearly double in cavalry, and we shall not have in the action 14000 portuguese troops!! under these circumstances i should, and shall, avoid a general action if i can; but i must put a countenance upon the state of affairs, and matters must be risked till provisions be placed in elvas. the portuguese government may depend upon my bringing this subject under the distinct consideration of the regent\u2019s ministers. i have long determined that i will have no discussion with them upon any subject; but i shall report the consequences of their conduct to my own government, and leave to them to determine what shall be done. i conclude, however, that lord wellesley will think it necessary that our regent should explain himself clearly to the regent of portugal on these subjects. i have no objection to agricultural cattle being purchased and distributed to the districts that require them, provided the money which is to purchase them is not to come out of the military chest\u2026..i also beg that whatever is thus given in charity may be given on the ground of the wants of the several districts, and by no means in reference to the wants of the means of transport for the military operations. the government have it in their power to collect those means of transport whenever we may require them, and ought to do their duty; and i do not think that the charity of the people of england ought to be laid out to aid in the operations of the war, or to save the government the trouble of forcing those parts of the people who have not suffered to do their duty by their country. the quantity of 24 pound shot, we understand, that could be sent from lisbon, was 480, which we fired in about two hours!!! i never heard there was any at estremoz. this place, however, has 6000 mors

had. all it wants is provisions. the state of this place, however, and the means of keeping it hereafter, are subjects of very, very serious consideration, upon which i shall address sir william

in october 1807 the reigning duke ernst and his younger brother, prince leopold, travelled to paris to pay homage to emperor napoleon. it was whilst in paris at this time that the duke attended a ball and met the young fourteen year old beauty pauline-adelaide alexandre panam, also known as 'la belle greque', and thus began a love affair which would soon attain notoriety. duke ernst vigorously courted madame alexandre, as she would become to be known, offering her his protection, influence, and his fortune. in april 1808 the duke returned to coburg, and madame alexandre followed her lover, who had promised that his mother would receive her into her court circle. at the command of the duke, madame alexandre travelled in male attire. not long after their arrival in coburg, madame alexandre realised that she had been fooled and to his grief the duke was forced to tell her that his mother would not accept her into her circle because she was french. nevertheless, she gave birth to ernst's son in 1809, who was named after his father despite alexandre being offered a pension if she refrained from identifying herself with the duke. madame alexandre threatened to make details of the affair and pregnancy public, as evidenced in the present letter. despite prince leopold's efforts as a mediator on behalf of his brother, in 1823 madame alexandre published her sensational memoir (in both french and english) under the title memoirs of a young greek lady; or, madame pauline adelaide alexandre panam, versus his most serene highness the reigning prince of saxe-coburg. the memoir would later support further rumours and speculation about duke ernst's family when his legitimate youngest son, albert, married queen victoria to become her consort."},"estimateMax":500,"lotNumber":"989","title":{"es":"leopold i:

otherwise g to vg \n  \n elisabeth farnese (1692-1766) queen of spain 1714-46 as spouse of king philip v. elisabeth was in fact a de facto ruler of spain since she did manage the affairs of state, and was particularly known for her great influence over spain´s foreign policy affairs.  \n  \n on 16 september 1714 elisabeth farnese was married by proxy at parma to philip v of spain, the former queen of spain, maria luisa of savoy, had passed away seven months earlier on february 14 th . the marriage was arranged because of the sexual need of philip v, as his religious scruples prevented him from having a sexual life outside of marriage and he had insisted upon his conjugal rights almost until the last days of his previous consort's life  \n  \n a very interesting historical event occurred on elizabeth arrival to spain, when she met the princesse des ursins, marie anne de la trémoille (1642-1722) a french courtier and royal favourite known for her political influence and for acting as the de facto ruler of spain from 1701 to 1714, and who had just been newly appointed mistress of the robes to the queen. the princesse des ursins wished to present herself before elisabeth met philip v. the princess had sent out spies who reported that elisabeth was in fact not at all a timid person who would be easy to control. elisabeth received des ursins and asked to speak with her privately. shortly after, the party could hear the sounds of a violent argument, after which des ursins was arrested, fired, and immediately escorted over the border to france. there have been many different versions of this incident, and different suggestions as to how it occurred. when philip v met elisabeth a day later at guadalajara, the day before christmas, he quickly fell in love with her at first sight, just as he had with his former spouse."},"estimateMax":1000,"lotNumber":"1006","title":{"es":"dorothea sophie of neuburg:

to provide independent advice and counsel on the king's constitutional problems. initially the king attempted to convert him into a champion of his cause hoping that hoare would speak up in defence of his right to marry when the matter came up for formal discussion in the cabinet. in the king's memoirs a king's story (1951) he recounted this first meeting, \"but i failed to win him as an advocate. he was sympathetic; but he also was acutely conscious of the political realities. mr. baldwin, he warned me, was in command of the situation: the senior ministers were solidly with him on this issue. if i were to press my marriage project on the cabinet i should meet a stone wall of opposition. i saw mr. duff cooper at the palace later the same day.....he was as encouraging and optimistic as sam hoare had been pessimistic and discouraging.\"  \n  \n hoare's second meeting with the king took place at the end of november, about which the king wrote, \"at this juncture, the scene shifted momentarily to stornoway house where max beaverbrook, ever since his return from america, had worked feverishly to rally support for me in whatever quarters it might be found.....mr. baldwin was aware of what max beaverbrook was up to; and no doubt hoping to check the forces beginning to rally round my cause, he despatched sir samuel hoare on sunday, the 29 th , to explain the attitude of the government towards the king. the message which the first lord of the admiralty bore was ominous indeed. it was that the ministers stood with mr. baldwin---\"no breach exists: there is no light or leaning in the king's direction.\" then the first lord fired his second salvo. \"the publicity, \" he said, \"is about to break.\" many ministers, he added, were restless and dissatisfied over the failure of the press to publish facts of a crisis already the talk of the rest of the world. he stressed mr. baldwin's desire that the press, like the cabinet, should form an unbroken front against the proposed marriage. it was an undisguised invitation for max beaverbrook to change sides. his answer was: \"i have already taken the king's shilling, i am a king's man.\"  \n on 4 th december the king learned of an earlier meeting between beaverbrook and hoare, of which he commented \"so the day had not been all debits as far as i was concerned. from stornoway house max beaverbrook, sensing the favourable upsurge in public opinion, had steadily hammered away on the theme of delay. i must not allow myself, he urged, to be harried and hurried into precipitous action. he had seen sir samuel hoare again, and in conversation with him had formed the impression that many ministers were troubled by the turn the crisis had taken, and would welcome a withdrawal of my request for advice on the

½ mile to gandhiji\u2019s ashram. gandhi lived with his wife in a little house at the entrance to the ashram. the first time we went gandhi was about to set out to talk to his followers. his wife was silent & spoke no english\u2026..gandhiji was followed by crowds of adorning children from the ashram. he spoke to his followers in hindi from a platform. a few weeks later we visited gandhi\u2019s ashram again & this time he was having a silent day & our conversation was in writing\u2026..we discussed what i could do as an english girl to help in india & we must have stayed with him about two hours\u2026..\u2019 . a fascinating autograph keepsake from a meeting with gandhi. some light age wear and a few minor stains, vg, 2 \n  \n mahatma gandhi observed one day of silence a week, every monday, and would not break the discipline for any reason, once observing that \u2018silence is a great help to a seeker after truth like myself. in the attitude of silence, the soul finds the path in clear light, and what is elusive and deceptive, resolves itself into crystal clearness\u2019."},"estimateMax":3500,"lotNumber":"1128","title":{"es":"gandhi mahatma: (1869-1948) \u2018i shall be wholly silent for four days\u2019"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/39628/lot/131093/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":2500,"soldPrice":8000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:31:12.319Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac2,500 -
