Description
- Nerval, Gérard de
- Les Filles du feu. Nouvelles. Paris, Giraud, 1854.
In-8 (175 x 110 mm). Chagrin rouge, double encadrement d'un triple filet poussé à froid avec fleurons en écoinçons, dos à nerfs orné à froid, roulette intérieure dorée, tranches dorées, couverture et dos, étui (Semet & Plumelle). Exemplaire lavé, couverture doublée. Élégante reliure de Semet & Plumelle. Édition originale, très rare et recherchée, du plus célèbre ouvrage de Nerval. Les Filles du feu se compose de huit nouvelles : Angélique, Sylvie, Chansons et légendes du Valois, Jemmy, Octavie, Isis, Corilla, Emilie, et de douze sonnets : El Desdichado -- certainement l'un des plus beaux de la langue française -- Myrtho, Horus, Antéros, Delfica, Artémis, Le Christ aux Oliviers, Vers dorés (Le Christ aux Oliviers comporte à lui seul cinq sonnets) placés à la fin du recueil sous le titre "Les Chimères".Ce recueil paraît alors que Gérard de Nerval est interné dans la clinique du docteur Blanche à Passy. Le recueil s'ouvre sur une dédicace à Alexandre Dumas en réponse à la trahison de celui-ci qui avait fait paraître dans Le Mousquetaire du 10 décembre 1853 "El Desdichado", sans la permission de Nerval. Il n'y a pas eu de tirage sur grand papier.
