*Roger VAILLAND (1907-1965). MANUSCRIPT autograph signed; 3 pages in-4 (printer's blue pencil marks). Farewell to Jeannie CHAUVEAU, translator under the pseudonym J.-G. MARQUET. "She defended herself well, Jeannie Chauveau! Against life, against death, against illness (which was perhaps only one of her means of defence), against those who did not love her, against her friends too [...], against those who knew that she had courageously played her part in some of the real tragedies of our time, against her heart too, which remained tender"... All her life she put her talent "in turn at the service of the Série Noire and the most ingeniously perverse of magazines. Her humor, of course, was black and biting. But she was beyond bitterness. Farewell, old accomplice, woman of courage..."... Expert: Cabinet LES AUTOGRAPHES - Mr Thierry BODIN - lesautographes@wanadoo.fr - 01 45 48 25 31
