FIRST EDITION.<\/strong>
\nPress copy (punch) after 25 copies on Japon, 150 copies on Hollande,Her great friend, \"Discovered\" by the members of the Carnetin group, Marguerite Audoux nevertheless owes a large part of the success of,to Octave Mirbeau: in 1909, when an attack of neurasthenia prevented him from working, Mirbeau received the manuscript of,Emball\u00e9,\" reports Jourdain, \"from Francis Jourdain. He defended her with the generous brusqueness that terrified the lukewarm and made the hesitant yield,Sans remords ni rancune,, p. 244): having obtained a print run of 3,000 copies from Fasquelle, he wrote the laudatory preface,Marguerite Audoux wrote to him (December 1909):,My very dear friend Francis Jourdain told me how much trouble you were taking to help me. I don't know how to express my gratitude to you when I think that you have taken an interest in me. It gives me courage for the future. Thanks to you, my eyes will be able to rest during these bad winter months,On the strength of this success, Mirbeau set his sights on winning the Goncourt; but 4 days before the jury meeting, he was crowned with the F\u00e9mina. As it was almost impossible to win both prizes, Mirbeau was less energetic than usual in his defence of the novel. He did, however, give it his vote in the first round,Mirbeau remained close to Marguerite Audoux until her death, exchanging a long correspondence with her in which thoughts on the beauty of her garden mingled with the recommendations of a true \"publishing adviser\": in particular, he encouraged her to abandon the publication of her story \"Valserin,e\" in order to concentrate on \"L'Atelier de Marie-Claire\",Marguerite Audoux wrote two articles on her friend: Portrait-Octave Mirbeau\" was published in Les Cahiers d'aujourd'hui, and another portrait, posthumous this time, appeared in the same magazine in 1922: \"Much of his time was spent reading the manuscripts he received from all sides. And one day, when someone was complaining about the fatigue that such an occupation must have brought him, he immediately replied: \"It has to be, because in the heap, there is perhaps one good one\", [1] bl. f., [3] ff. 422 pp. darkened spine with tears at head and tail, tear at head of upper spine.<\/p>\n

A Marguerite Audoux
\nSon grand ami
\nOctave Mirbeau<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

\"D\u00e9couverte\" par les membres du groupe de Carnetin, Marguerite Audoux doit toutefois une grande partie du succ\u00e8s de Marie-Claire<\/em> \u00e0 Octave Mirbeau : en 1909, alors qu'une crise de neurasth\u00e9nie l'emp\u00eache de travailler \u00e0 Goofy<\/em>, Mirbeau re\u00e7oit de Francis Jourdain le manuscrit de Marie-Claire<\/em>. \"Emball\u00e9<\/em>\", rapporte Jourdain \"il ne s'occupa plus que de Marguerite, de ses int\u00e9r\u00eats. Il la d\u00e9fendit avec la g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse brusquerie qui terrorisait les ti\u00e8des et faisait c\u00e9der les h\u00e9sitants<\/em>\" (Sans remords ni rancune<\/em>, p. 244) : ayant obtenu chez Fasquelle un tirage de 3000 exemplaires, il en compose l'\u00e9logieuse pr\u00e9face.<\/p>\n

Marguerite Audoux lui \u00e9crit (d\u00e9cembre 1909):<\/p>\n

\n
Mon tr\u00e8s cher ami Francis Jourdain m'a dit combien vous vous donniez de peine pour me venir en aide. Croyez bien que j'en suis profond\u00e9ment touch\u00e9e.<\/div>\n
Je ne sais comment vous exprimer ma reconnaissance en pensant que vous avez bien voulu vous int\u00e9resser \u00e0 moi. Cela me donne du courage pour l'avenir. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 vous, mes yeux pourront se reposer pendant ces mauvais mois d'hiver.<\/div>\n

Fort de ce succ\u00e8s, Mirbeau ambitionne de lui faire obtenir le Goncourt ; mais \u00e0 4 jours de la r\u00e9union de jury, Marie-Claire<\/em> est couronn\u00e9 par le F\u00e9mina. Cumuler les deux prix \u00e9tant chose quasi-impossible, Mirbeau se montre moins \u00e9nergique que d'ordinaire dans sa d\u00e9fense du roman. Il lui accorde toutefois sa voix au premier tour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mirbeau demeurera jusqu'\u00e0 sa mort proche de Marguerite Audoux, \u00e9changeant avec elle une longue correspondance o\u00f9 consid\u00e9rations sur la beaut\u00e9 son jardin se m\u00ealent aux recommandations d'un v\u00e9ritable \"conseiller en \u00e9dition\" : il l'encourage notamment \u00e0 renoncer \u00e0 la publication son conte \"Valserin<\/em>e\" pour se concentrer sur L'Atelier de Marie-Claire<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Marguerite Audoux \u00e9crira deux articles sur son ami : \"Portrait-Octave Mirbeau<\/em>\" est publi\u00e9 des Les Cahiers d'aujourd'hui<\/em> ; un autre portrait, posthume celui-ci, para\u00eet dans la m\u00eame revue en 1922 :<\/p>\n

\n
Une grande partie de son temps se passait \u00e0 lire les manuscrits qu'il recevait de tous c\u00f4t\u00e9s. Et un jour, que quelqu'un le plaignait de la fatigue que devait lui apporter une pareille occupation, il r\u00e9pondit aussit\u00f4t : \"Il le faut bien, car dans le tas, il y en a peut-\u00eatre un de bon\".<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
