Victor Hugo Autograph Letter Signed Entry Speech Académie Française

  
Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885), French writer. Signed autograph letter to the politician and academician narcissus-achille Count of Salvandy. 5 June (1841); 1 page in-8°, address on the back. Victor Hugo agrees, on the other hand, to correct his reception speech at the French academy following the intense discontent of louis-philippe who did not appreciate having been qualified, in his public speech of 3 June, as "aide de camp de dumouriez".

He must revisit his copy to the impression of the text by rewording his sentence by "Lieutenant de dumouriez et de kellermann" to the victories of valmy and jemmapes: "What the king desires will be done, my dear colleague. Biographies are formal, but I like to believe the king better than his biographies.

So I'll put kellerman's lieutenant, and I won't say the name dumurez anymore. I'll send the speech to didot immediately. I have just reread yours in the debates [salvandy's answer to the Hugo reception speech in public session of June 5], and I am happy to tell you that if, as a man, in what is probably my illusions, he may frown me a little, as a writing, he charms me. I'll shake your hand.

Give, please, to Madame de Salvandy, whose gracious kindnesses leave me forever prisoners, my most proven and most respectful tributes. " Victor Hugo, an unfortunate candidate in 1836, was finally elected to the rank of immortal on January 7, 1841 by 17 votes, in the chair number 14, succeeding to nepomucene lemercier. He was received on 3 June by the narcissus-achille count of salvandy. His reception speech in the Grand Hemicycle of the Mazarine Palace is more political than literary, motivated by an ambition to serve his country in a great function. But the immortals do not hear it from this ear and the answer to the discourse of the academician Salvandy is not delayed by putting him dryly in his place as a writer.

Hugo learns that beanger also surprised himself with his speech: "I find it strange that victor Hugo enters the academy to pose as a politician and even as a future minister. It's a disease that wins." This item is in the category "books, bd, magazines\old books, collection". The seller is "cyril2472" and is located in this country: en.
