MANUSCRIT] Max NORDAU (1849-1923) Gefühlskomödie, 1891 Autograph manuscript, titled and signed. Marked in German: published November 1891. An in-quarto volume of 119 numbered pp. on linen paper, mounted on tabs, of which only the rectos are used. Bound in red half-maroquin with muted spine. Boards rubbed. First draft manuscript with numerous erasures and additions. This manuscript, whose French title is "La comédie du sentiment", is set in 19th-century bourgeois circles. Through a series of misunderstandings, unspoken words and deceptions, the characters are confronted with dilemmas that reveal their personal flaws. Nordau explores the complexity of human emotions, while delivering an acerbic critique of social conventions. He reflects on the tension between tradition and modernity, which is still relevant today.
