Add to basketMichel Lévy frères | Paris 1867 | 11.50 x 18.50 cm | relié | Nouvelle édition. Reliure de l'époque en demi chagrin vert, dos à quatre nerfs sertis de pointillés dorés filets dorés et fleurons dorés en écoinçons, multiples encadrements à froid sur les plats, gardes et contreplats de papier blanc moiré, toutes tranches dorées. Certains feuillets plus courts en marge basse. Envoi autographe signé de George Sand sur la première garde: «à mon bon ami Edmond Plauchut. G. Sand.» Aujourd'hui le seul étranger à la famille inhumé dans le cimetière de la maison de Nohant, Lucien-Joseph-Edmond Plauchut (1824-1909) entama une relation épistolaire avec George Sand à l'automne 1848 alors qu'il était expatrié volontaire après la chute de la République. Parti vers Singapour, il fit naufrage au large des îles du Cap-Vert et ne put sauver qu'une cassette contenant les lettres de Sand qu'il avait précieusement faites relier. Ces missives furent son salut: elles lui permirent d'être recueilli, nourri et blanchi par un riche Portugais admirateur de la dame de Nohant, Francisco Cardozzo de Mello. Après plusieurs voyages vers l'Extrême-Orient, et de nombreux cadeaux exotiques expédiés à sa lointaine et pourtant si proche amie, Plauchut rencontra finalement George Sand en 1861. En 1870, elle lui rendit un vibrant hommage dans la préface de son roman Malgrétout, narrant le naufrage dont il fut victime et exprimant avec émotion son amitié pour ce courageux ami. Plauchut, très aimé de la famille Sand - et particulièrement des petites-filles de George qui le surnommaient «L'Oncle Plauchemar» - en fit partie intégrante jusqu'à sa mort en janvier 1909. Les envois autographes signés sur La Mare au Diable sont très rares, celui-ci est d'une superbe provenance. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] New edition. Contemporary binding in half green shagreen, spine in four compartments set with gilt stippling, gilt fillets and gilt fleurons in the corner pieces, multiple blind tooled frames on the boards, white iridescent paper endpapers, all edges gilt. Some leaves shorter in the bottom margin. Handwritten inscription signed by George Sand on the first endpaper: "à mon bon ami Edmond Plauchut. G. Sand". Today the only outsider to the family buried in the cemetery of the Nohant house, is Lucien-Joseph-Edmond Plau chut (1824-1909) who began an epistolary relationship with George Sand in the autumn of 1848 when he was a voluntary expatriate after the fall of the Republic. Leaving for Singapore, he was shipwrecked off the coast of the Cape Verde Islands and was able to save only one cassette containing Sand's letters that he had preciously bound. These missives were his salvation: they allowed him to be collected, fed and laundered by a rich Portuguese admirer of the Lady of Nohant, Francisco Cardozzo de Mello. After several journeys toward the Far East, and several exotic presents sent to his distant and yet so close friend, Plauchut finally met George Sand in 1861. In 1870, she paid a vibrant tribute to him in the preface of her novel Malgrétout. Despite everything, she recounts the shipwreck of which he was a victim and expresses with emotion her friendship for this courageous friend. Plauchut, much loved by the Sand family and particularly George's granddaughters who nicknamed him Uncle Plauchemar was an integral part until his death in January 1909. The handwritten signed inscriptions on La Mare au Diable are very rare, this one is from a superb provenance. *.
