FROSSARD André (1915-1995) journaliste [AF 1987, 2e f]. - Lot 77
FROSSARD André (1915-1995) journaliste [AF 1987, 2e f]. MANUSCRIT autograph signed "André Frossard", Discourse on Virtue, December 1, 1988; 6 pages in-fol. with erasures and corrections. 100 / 150 € Speech delivered at the annual public session of the Académie française, December 1, 1988. After a humorous introduction, and reflections on the difficulty of defining virtue - with reference to the theological and cardinal virtues, and memories of Goethe, Catherine of Genoa and his own childhood -, Frossard salutes the virtue that still exists "in some great men and many little people. In those who give of their time, of their strength, so that another feels less lonely and does not despair, in those unknown people whose whole life is a single act of devotion [] and who will be the last to know, in their obscurity, that they had been for a moment the light of the world". The edition is enclosed (Imprimerie Nationale, 1989).
