Henri Bergson 3 Signed Autograph Letters

  

Henri Bergson - 3 Signed Autograph Letters. In 1925, Henri Bergson developed a rheumatism that would afflict him until the end of his days. Living with his wife and daughter in a modest house located on a quiet street near the Porte d'Auteuil in Paris, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927. Half-paralyzed, he could not travel to Stockholm for the ceremony.

Bergson regrets that his health does not allow him to respond, as he had hoped to do, to the letters of congratulations he has received. Deeply touched, he apologizes and sends his warmest thanks.

“For nearly ten years that I have been immobilized by illness, I have had to make it a rule not to join any group—whatever it may be.” Touching letters of apology towards the end of his life.
