YOURCENAR, Marguerite.
Feux. Paris, Grasset, [1936]. In-12 [188 x 117] of 214 pp. with (5) ff. the last one blank: paperback, in orange morocco spine folder and case by Devauchelle. Edition published the year of the original, bearing the mention of "5th edition" on the cover. Feux brings together in a lyrical mode reflections on carnal passion, through the prism of mythical stories and personal confessions. Autograph letter: to Natalie Clifford- // Barney, // Salamander // these Fires // Marguerite // Yourcenar The correspondence between Marguerite Yourcenar and Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972), preserved in the Jacques Doucet Literary Library, amply testifies to the communion of words and genre that bound the two women together, as well as to Natalie's admiration for her younger sister. Beyond poetry, writing, and even Renée Vivien, Natalie Barney was, for Yourcenar, a model.
