JAMES JOYCE INSCRIBED TO MICHAEL FAKTOROVITCH. JAMMES, FRANCIS. 1868-1938. Les Robinsons basques. Paris: Mercure de France, 1925. 8vo. Later brown textured cloth, gilt titled 'James Joyce to Michael' on upper cover, publisher's yellow wrappers bound in. Some shelfwear and browning. WITH: Christmas Card Signed ('James Joyce'), [to Michael and Lilian Stuart], 62 x 115 mm, Paris, December 13, 1931, with floral motif and gilt 'Joyeux Noelle' on recto, inscribed on verso 'To wish you both a happy Xmas and a prosperous New Year.' Light browning. WITH: Clipped Inscription Signed, 'To Michael and Lilian - James Joyce - Paris 22-iii-1939,' on thin card, 37 x 157 mm, adhesive residue and dark staining. Rare French publication, INSCRIBED TO MICHAEL FAKTOROVITCH on front free endpaper 'To Michael Faktorovitch, with the thanks of James Joyce — 4-vii-[1]929.' Michael Stuart (nee Factorovitch/Faktorovitch) was a researcher for Joyce on Finnegan's Wake. Joyce employed a number of young writers to fill a range of overlapping roles, including a young Samuel Beckett, and Factorovich. Within the text of Finnegan's Wake there are several neologisms, including some in Russian. Apparently, Joyce found it amusing that the Russian-born Factorovitch had chosen to adopt the anglicized 'Stuart' in place of his original surname. With two additional Joyce autographs laid in (as above). For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
