les miserables di hugo, Rilegato, Prima edizione (104 risultati)

First American edition and first edition in English of Victor Hugo's masterpiece. Octavo, bound in contemporary three quarters calf over marbled boards, gilt titles to the spine, raised bands, five volumes complete in one volume. Translated by Charles E. Wilbour. In nearÂcondition, previous owners names. Uncommon in this condition. Victor Hugoâs âgreat novel has been hailed as a masterpiece of popular literature, an epic poem in prose about God, humanity, and Hugo⦠Hugo hoped that Les Misà rables would be one of if not the âprincipal summitsâ of his body of works. Despite its length, complexity, and occasionally unbelievable plot and characterization, it remains a masterpiece of popular literature. It anticipates Balzac in its realism, but in its flights of imagination and lyricism, its theme of redemption, and its melding of myth and history, it is uniquely Hugoâ (Dolbow, 149, 214). Charles E. Wilbour was hired by the Carleton Publishing Company to translate Hugo's grand masterpiece, and he did so very quickly, allowing the first American edition to be published within months of its French release. The intense advertising campaign waged by Carleton resulted in massive sales for Les Misà rables, solidifying Hugo's epic in second place (behind only Uncle Tom's Cabin) in pre-Civil War American book sales.

Couverture rigide. - A. Lacroix, Verboeckhoven & Cie, Bruxelles 1862, 14,5x22cm, 10 volumes reliés. - Edition originale sans mention parue concomitamment avec l'édition de Paris chez Pagnerre. Reliures en demi basane bleu marine, dos à quatre fins nerfs sertis de doubles filets dorés et ornés de caissons dorés richement décorés, plats de cartonnage bleu marine, gardes et contreplats de papier caillouté, tranches mouchetées, reliures anglaises de l'époque. Rousseurs éparses, page de titre du troisième volume légèrement et marginalement salie, quelques épidermures sur certains plats et quelques accrocs sur certaines tranches, certains mors comportant des restaurations. Une correction à l'encre page 208 du volume 3. L'édition originale des Misérables fut légalement établie par trois éditeurs différents, Pagnerre en France, Lacroix en Belgique et Steinacker en Allemagne, mai cette dernière sous l'égide de l'éditeur officiel A. Lacroix, Verboeckhoven & Cie. La question de la prévalence d'une édition sur l'autre agite depuis longtemps le monde de la bibliophilie et les bibliographes sont restés divisés sur cette épineuse question. Carteret et Vicaire par exemple assuraient que l'édition parisienne devait être privilégiée, tandis que Vanderem et Clouzot donnaient la primeur à l'édition belge. Plus qu'une simple question de chronologie, cette dispute bibliographique révèle la complexité de la notion d'édition originale et l'importance symbolique qu'elle revêt pour l'histoire littéraire et en particulier pour cette uvre magistrale qui compte parmi les plus importantes de la littérature mondiale. Etrangement, sans que cette question ait été réellement tranchée, l'édition de Bruxelles est aujourd'hui communément décrite comme antérieure à celle de Paris, tandis que l'édition de Leipzig est tout simplement ignorée. Les Misérables seraient donc parus le 30 ou 31 mars chez Lacroix et le 3 avril chez Pagnerre. Les arguments de cette antériorité belge sont cependant tous réfutables, et dès 1936, Georges Blaizot en avait démontré la fragilité. Le premier argument s'appuie sur une lettre de Victor Hugo adressée à Lacroix de 1865 et dans laquelle, le poète qualifia lui-même l'édition belge de « princeps » : « Typographiquement, il faut se régler en tout sur l'édition belge princeps des Misérables, en dilatant plutôt qu'en resserrant » écrit-il au sujet des Travailleurs de la mer qui paraîtront en 1866. Or cette désignation de Hugo n'est en aucun cas une indication bibliographique, comme l'explique Georges Blaizot, dénonçant l'interprétation abusive de P. de Lacretelle et du Dr Michaux : « Le poète précise un point, un seul, très simple, très clair, très précis : l'édition belge princeps (c'est-à-dire la première parue des éditions belges) doit servir de type aux éditions futures. Il dit cela, il dit bien cela, il ne dit que cela. » (Georges Blaizot in Le Bulletin du bibliophile et du bibliothécaire, 1936). En effet à la fameuse édition in-8 succèdera une plus modeste édition in-12 en octobre de la même année. Le second argument est plus important. Il s'appuie sur une lettre d'Adèle Hugo à son mari relatant la rocambolesque aventure de la publication française quatre jours avant la date prévue. Cette lettre sera partiellement reproduite en 1904 dans les uvres complètes publiées par Meurice et Simon, avec la date supposée du « [31 mars 1862] ». Adèle y raconte les motifs de la précipitation éditoriale française : « Auguste [Vacquerie] nous apprend que Les Misérables paraissent sous trois jours. Étonnement mêlé de satisfaction. Auguste me raconte qu'ils comptaient faire paraître Les Misérables le 7 avril ; que le matin [Noël] Parfait était accouru effaré chez [Paul] Meurice lui dire qu'il sortait de voir aux mains de [Paul] Siraudin, un exemplaire des Misérables qu'il avait acheté la veille à Bruxelles. » Ce témoignage et la datation de la lettre dans ces notes de l'éditeur sont sans doute à l'origine de l'affirmation de l'antériorité de la publication belge.
