French writer (1866-1944) who won the 1915 Nobel Prize for Literature. ALS in French, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 8.25, November 30, 1922. Handwritten letter of praise to poet Luc Durtain, in part (translated): ""our rich plowing of a rich and strong soil. If it took you seven years to get through it, these are surely not the seven lean cows of the Bible. The attics are full. It sometimes looks like a Balzac who has paroptic vision. For those who only know how to see with their two eyes, it's almost hallucinating; the ground is beneath their feet; they don't know no longer where to walk; voices come out from above, from below, from within, from all sides…A whole novel of the Human Comedy, stage of your journey." In fine condition.
