Paperback. Condizione: New. In the late 1850s, Celina, aged fifteen, born into poverty, takes up work as a chambermaid for the Victor Hugo family living in exile in Guernsey. There she encounters the delicate balance between the professional and the personal, and the obligations placed upon her as her livelihood is at stake. Inspired by Hugo's cryptic diary notes and by letters from his wife, Catherine Axelrad restores to life the girl whose untimely death shook the Hugo family, capturing the changing time in which she lived as well as life in the Channel Islands. In doing so, Axelrad sheds light on the complexity of Hugo's private persona and cuts le grand homme down to size. Intimately involved with him, Celina remains at the margins of the poet's creative life; she recounts her relationship both with the artist who is writing his Miserables by day and with the man who joins her at night. First published by Editions Gallimard in 1997, this novella offers a singular perspective on matters of sexual consent and class dynamics: one which makes us take stock of social progress, but also wonder how far we have really come today.…

Couverture souple. Condizione: Parfait. Condizione sovraccoperta: Jaquette en parfait état. Dans la collection "NRF", série "L'Un et l'Autre", fac-similé d'une lettre de Mme Henry. Quatrième de couverture : "Des vies, mais telles que la mémoire les invente, que notre imagination les recrée, qu'une passion les anime. Des récits subjectifs, à mille lieues de la biographie traditionnelle. L'un et l'autre : l'auteur et son héros secret, le peintre et son modèle. Entre eux, un lien intime et fort. Entre le portrait d'un autre et l'autoportrait, où placer la frontière ? Les uns et les autres : aussi bien ceux qui ont occupé avec éclat le devant de la scène que ceux qui ne sont présents que sur notre scène intérieure, personnes ou lieux, visages oubliés, noms effacés, profils perdus.". HUGO, Victor (illustratore). Livre.…
