1958. Fine. s.d. (1958), 20,9x26,9cm, 4 pages sur 4 feuillets. - Manuscrit autographe de Boris Vian intitulé ""Conseil de révision (des opinions)"" à propos de Paul Anka. 4 pages rédigées au stylo à bille bleu sur 4 feuillets perforés réunis par des agrafes. Ratures et corrections. Pliure transversale en marge gauche sans gravité. Le manuscrit était destiné à « l'élite », c'est-à-dire aux lecteurs du Canard enchaîné, il a finalement été publié dans La Belle époque (1980). Bel article faisant la promotion du concert à l'Olympia du jeune Paul Anka, alors âgé de dix-sept ans, plus de dix ans avant le succès planétaire de My Way. Boris Vian vieillit d'ailleurs un peu la « vedette américaine » : « Paul Anka est un garçon de vingt ans qui écrit ses chansons et qui les chante. » Vian, lui aussi compositeur et interprète souligne pourtant : « Comme il n'en écrit pas des douzaines, il chante aussi d'autres que les siennes, par exemple « Jingle Bells » puisque c'est l'hiver et Noël. » Le chroniqueur insiste sur le snobisme du public parisien difficile et visiblement peu réceptif à la variété américaine : « Paul Anka, le soir de la première, a fait un triomphe aux « populaires », ce qui a refroidi le parterre, savamment composé de vedettes, demi-vedettes, quarts de vedettes et figurants habituels de ces cérémonies. » Boris Vian répond ensuite point par point aux détracteurs du chanteur, enchaînant les louanges : « Il chante juste, très en place et semble capable de « swinguer » à la latine [...] Il a une excellente présence et presque trop de métier pour son âge. [...] Il « en fait » beaucoup moins que l'on ne pouvait le craindre d'après les disques et la publicité. » Très au fait des nouveautés musicales américaines, Boris se risque à un petit classement, sans perdre son légendaire humour, tout à fait en phase avec le ton caustique du Canard enchaîné : « C'est donc un chanteur classique s'il en fut, et l'Anka de malheur que j'avais craint est jusqu'ici, à mettre bien en avant des Kalin Twins, ces deux affreux singes, et du grimaçant Presley (lui, on l'a vu au cinéma). » Comme l'indique le titre de cet article ""Conseil de révision"", Boris Vian semble avoir changé d'avis quant au jeune chanteur après avoir assisté à sa première française ; dans un autre projet d'article pour le Canard enchaîné rédigé quelque temps plus tôt, il déclarait : « Vous connaissez, évidemment, le dernier surnom du jeune chanteur Paul Anka, le beuglant du Canada. Il est court et charmant : l'Anka de malheur. » Provenance : Fondation Vian [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] Autograph manuscript by Boris Vian titled ""Conseil de révision (des opinions)"" on Paul Anka: ""Paul Anka is a boy of 20 who writes his own songs and sings them."" n. d. [but 1958] | 20.9 x 26.9 cm | 4 pages on 4 leaves Autograph manuscript by Boris Vian titled ""Conseil de révision (des opinions) [Recommendations for a review of opinions]"" on Paul Anka. 4 pages written in blue ballpoint pen on 4 perforated leaves, stapled. Crossings out and corrections. Lateral fold to left margin, but light. The manuscript was for the ""elite"", which is to say the readers of Canard enchaîné, but was eventually published in La Belle époque (1980). A fine article promoting the Olympia concert of a young Paul Anka, 17 at the time, more than ten years before the global success of My Way. Incidentally, Boris Vian made the ""American star"" a little older than his actual years: "" Paul Anka is a boy of 20 who writes his own songs and sings them"". Vian, himself a songwriter and musician, nonetheless points out: ""Since he has not written dozens and dozens of songs, he also sings other people's, for example 'Jingle Bells', because it's winter and Christmas."" Vian insists on the snobbery of the Parisian public that is obviously less receptive to American innovations: ""Paul Anka, the evening of the premiere, had a triumph with the 'people', which chilled the stalls, composed of knowing stars, semi-stars, demi-stars and the usual suspects at such occasions."" Vian then responds point by point to the singer's detractors, singing his praises. ""He sings very well and seems able to 'swing' in the Latin way...He has an excellent presence and almost too much craft for his age...He has far fewer 'airs' than one might have feared given his sales and publicity."" Very aware of new American musicians, Boris risks a little bit of judgement, without losing his legendary humor, in keeping with the caustic tone of Canard enchaîné : ""He is thus a classic singer when he wants to be, and unfortunately Anka is to be regarded well above the Kalin twins, those two awful monkeys and the grimacing Presley (whom we saw at the cinema)."" As the title of this article indicated, ""A recommendation for a revision"", Boris Vian seems to have changed his mind about the young singer after attending his French premiere. In another article planned for Canard enchaîné and written a little while earlier, he had declared: ""You clearly know the latest nickname for the young singer Paul Anka, 'the Canadian bawler. He is short and charming; the Anka of misfortune."" Provenance : Fondation Vian

London: Printed for J. Walker, 1788. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 12mo. A very good four volume set in contemporary, full tree calf binding with double lettering pieces in red and green. Complete pp. [iii]-vii, [1] 222; [2], 206; [2], 238 & [2], 198. No half-titles which may or may not be wanting, but the pagination for the prelims to vol. I might suggest that one is required? Very good bindings with a little rubbing, a couple of volumes slightly chipped to the head/tail of the spines, corners lightly bruised. Contents clean and tight, manuscript (Greek?) initials to title pages dated 1788 otherwise unmarked, no foxing, paper crisp. A very good set. A Rare Eighteenth Century Novel. We have managed to located just one other copy at auction in the last thirty years and that at Sotheby's sale of July 21, 1993, where it made £1,000 on the hammer, though seemingly not such a nice copy.

Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
