MICHELET, Jules. Youthful writings. Journal (1820-1823) - Mémorial - Journal des idées. Paris, Gallimard, 1959. In-8, paperback, uncut. 436 pages. Cover slightly soiled and sunned. Complete text by Paul Viallaneix, based on autograph manuscripts, numerous unpublished documents and appendices. Limited edition, one of 550 numbered copies on esparto (no. 71). Écrits de jeunesse, the prelude to the immense Journal, brings to life the decisive ten years (1818-1828) that transformed an adolescent into a man, and a good rhetoric student into an original writer. They consist of a first, "egotistical" Diary, kept from 1820 to 1823, a Memorial, which paints a vivid portrait of a boy from the Parisian Marais during the dark days of the Empire, and a Journal des idées, in which the future historian's vocation gradually takes shape. Copy in good condition.
