About the Item
Autograph Letter Signed by Alberto Moravia to the Countess Pecci Blunt.
Salzburg, August 28th 1933. One page, double-sided. In Italian. Perfectly readable, very good condition except for a lower-right corner detached. Including original envelope. An ending autograph notes by Alberto Moravia.
From Salzburg, Alberto Moravia writes this letter of greeting and thanks to the Countess Pecci-Blunt, or Mimi, the patron of arts and the closed-friend of artists and intellectuals. The Italian writer tries to reach her at one of the Countess' residences or at common friends houses.
The background:
During the period of this correspondence, Moravia has just started his carres as journalist, but his life changed when he published in 1929 Gli Indifferenti, noteced by the critic. In 1930 Moravia started collaborating for the newspaper La Stampa, then edited by author Curzio Malaparte. In 1933, together with Mario Pannunzio, he founded the literary review magazines Caratteri and Oggi and started writing for the newspaper Gazzetta del Popolo. The years leading to World War II were difficult for Moravia as an author; the Fascist regime prohibited reviews of Le ambizioni sbagliate (1935), seized his novel La mascherata 1941) and banned Agostino (Two Adolescents, 1941). In 1935 he traveled to the United States to give a lecture series on Italian literature. L'imbroglio was published by Bompiani in 1937. To avoid Fascist censorship, Moravia wrote mainly in the surrealist and allegoric styles.
Alberto Moravia (born Alberto Pincherle 1907 –1990)
Italian novelist and journalist, best-known for his debut novel Gli indifferenti (1929) and for the anti-fascist novel Il Conformista (The Conformist), the basis for the lucky film The Conformist (1970) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, explored matters of modern sexuality, social alienation and existentialism. His writing was marked by its cold, precise style.
Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971)
Better known as Mimì , the Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was frequented by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Alberto Moravia, Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel.

Two Typed Letters Signed (TLS) by T. S. Eliot
Located in Middletown, NY
Two one-page letters on Faber & Faber stationery, SIGNED by T. S. Eliot. The first, dated 1 December 1949 is double sided, 10 1/4 x 8 inches (266 x 204 mm) in envelope 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches (110 x 133 mm). The second is dated 23 August 1950, one sided, 8 x 6 7.8 inches (204 x 174 mm) in envelope 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches (110 x 133 mm). Typed in black and red ink, central vertical and horizontal folds, with no sign of wear. The accompanying envelopes show minor signs of wear and the back flap of the first envelope is partially torn. Fine.
These two typewritten letters were addressed to Robert Cecil Bald (1901 – 1965), an Australian scholar of English Literature, who taught at Cornell University starting in 1937 and then at the University of Chicago from 1952 to 1965. They attest to a cordial exchange between a poet and a scholar, and the rich network of contacts that Eliot had both as an author and as the long-time editorial director at Faber & Faber in London (1925-1965).
In the first letter, dated 1 December 1949 with a Cornell University address, Eliot declines an offer...
