Jacques CHARDONNE (1884-1968). Autograph manuscript, Francis Jammes. - Les Feuilles dans le vent, [1914?] ; 2 pages in-4 (printer's marks), with erasures and corrections ; the end is missing (wet leg.). Literary chronicle, dealing with Francis Jammes' Leaves in the Wind (1913). "Les Feuilles dans le vent is a collection of various small works. It contains Jammes' best and worst pages. L'Auberge sur la route is a rural and sunny day of a beggar-poet of an astonishingly familiar majesty," but other tales are "tainted with the bland kindness and flowery poverty that too often make Jammes' characters out of sugar figurine summaries... Then Chardonne talks about La Vieillesse d'Hélène. New tales in the margin of Jules Lemaître (1914): Lemaître "takes his inspiration from old books, and he uses them with the most famous heroes as freely as the novelist with his memories"... (the end is missing).
