Lucien Scheler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucien Scheler (1902 – 23 April 1999[1]) was a French writer, poet, publisher, and bookseller who participated in the literary resistance against Nazism.

Early life

Scheler was born in Kassel, Germany in 1902. He was the grandson of philologist Auguste Scheler.

Career

From 1926 to 1928 Scheler and Armand Henneuse ran Les écrivains réunis, a publishing company that edited and published the poems of Michel Seuphor (a monograph on Frans Masereel) and Stanislas Fumet [fr] (a monograph on Marcel-Lenoir [fr]). During World War II, Scheler lived on Rue de Tournon in Paris, and worked as a bookseller and as an expert in ancient books. He then published Bibliographie de France, which contained works produced by French Resistance writers. From October 1942 to August 1944, at the request of Monny de Boully, he sheltered Paul Éluard and Nusch Éluard, two French artists who were under investigation by the police for being part of the French Resistance.

At his bookstore, Scheler forged counterfeit documents to help members of the French Resistance. Due to the resistance efforts of Paul Éluard, Scheler's bookstore became a rallying point for the messengers of the Éditions de Minuit. Lucien Scheler signed the poems he entrusted in 1943 to Paul Éluard and Jean Lescure for L'Honneur des poètes [fr] under the pseudonyms of Jean Silence and Jean-Paul Mazurier.[2] In 1944, the first issues of L'eternelle revue (an illegal magazine created by Paul Éluard with the help of Jean Lescure and Louis Parrot) were published in Scheler's bookshop, which first became available in June of that year. Along with being the author of several collections of poems, Scheler devoted himself to publishing the complete works of Jules Vallès in fifteen volumes, as well as those of Paul Éluard in two volumes, for the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade.

In December 2000, researchers searched through Scheler's publications to discover which ones were original. The list they came up with included Les Amies by Paul Delvaux, Les chevaux (1944) by Dubuffet, Paul Éluard (1952) by Valentine Hugo, Landscape of Ridgefield. New Jersey (1913) by Man Ray, as well as two paintings by Henri Michaux.

  2. ^ "Helped by Jean Lescure, Paul [Éluard] collected the texts intended for L'honneur des poètes(...). I had not written poems for a long time, and my only activity as a writer was limited to publishing articles of literary erudition in Humanisme et Renaissance, a review of the seizièmistes edited by Eugénie Droz (...). However, in this creative aura, the desire to participate in a return to the common work soon became so imperative, that one day in the subway I surprised myself composing alexandrines (...). The result of this creativity translated into two texts that I submitted to Paul [Éluard] who, choosing for me "John Silence" as my war name, incorporated them into the collection being prepared." (Lucien Scheler, La Grande Espérance des poètes, 1940-1945, Paris, Temps actuels, 1982, p.233).
