from 1942 to 1979. The correspondence between husband-and-wife writers Corinna Bille and Maurice Chappaz ends in the perfumes of Africa and the colors of Asia with the fifth chapter: \u00abThe desert... it's like the idea of eternity\u00bb (1970 to 1979).<\/em><\/p>\nPost-family Africa<\/h3>\n
\u00abBut the desert, Maurice, the desert... it's like the idea of eternity that you can't understand until you live it.\u00bb<\/p>\n
This is the first lasting impression of Corinna's journey to Africa. The desert. Contemplated in the eternity of a dazzled gaze out the window. The adventuress has not yet reached the end of her surprises. She still has everything to discover about the negro continent. What's more, her reunion with her son Blaise, who has moved to Abidjan for work, is just the pretext she needs.<\/p>\n
\u00abI was moved to see that Blaise was sometimes homesick - I think you get that after a while. He's thinking of getting a house in Valais. Anything I can tell him about the family is of great interest to him, and I won't forget the overwhelming greed with which he pounced on the little provisions brought from Sierre and Bagnes.\u00bb<\/p>\n
The smell of Africa.<\/p>\n
\u00abHere we are in the heart of a peasant civilization, the air smells of hay, the villages have exactly the same smell as Chandolin, the smell of wood burning under women's black pots on stones, the smell of thin cows, the smell of red earth. The earth is always red, the villages are red, I love them, I feel good among these round huts, these tiny round towers with thatched roofs that are the granaries.\u00bb<\/p>\n
Its wide waters.<\/p>\n
\u00abWe bathed in warm, reddish water because of the sand. There are crocodiles, but you never see them, they hide in the very secluded coves. These freshwater lagoons are like a dozen Lacs-des-Quatre-Cantons with countless meanders that get lost between low hills and equatorial forest.\u00bb<\/p>\n
His earthenware sky.<\/p>\n
\u00abI also like the heat, the sun in the evening which is like a moon in the fog and this night which falls suddenly at seven o'clock.\u00bb<\/p>\n
The majesty of his women.<\/p>\n
\u00abThe women, too, are very beautiful, with an overwhelming elegance in the draperies that mold them and always fall to their feet. Sometimes one shoulder is bare: in the north, many go topless (but then it's like in Europe: beautiful and ugly). But they all have an astonishing grace: they're quite shameless at times, but also reserved and modest. I've caught some admirable glances.\u00bb<\/p>\n
Well, his people.<\/p>\n
\u00abYes, I love black people because of the cheerfulness so close to childhood, close to my own. And they're never nervous, always slow and relaxed.\u00bb<\/p>\n
The roving Orient<\/h3>\n
\u00abMarie-No\u00eblle [editor's note: daughter of Corinna and Maurice] works bravely. Blaise is in Africa too, writing to me. We're waiting for Achille to return.\u00bb<\/p>\n
Achille accompanies his father, Maurice, on his expedition to Asia with a group of Valaisans. Corinna happily awaits their return. Alongside their travels, the letters bear witness to the family's enduring unity.<\/p>\n
The wandering distance also gives rise to perpetual affection between the two writers.<\/p>\n
\u00abDear Fifon [editor's note: Corinna's nickname for Maurice], I tell you again how much I love you when I'm proud of Achilles, how much I love you when I discover objects or landscapes, because everything new reminds me of your wondering eyes.
\nwith my tender love
\nin my own way
\nMaurice \u00bb<\/p>\n
As for the treasures of the Oriental stages themselves, Maurice spares no words in detailing his most poetic sensations.<\/p>\n
\u00abIstanbul for three days. I loved the shaking Galata Bridge and its bustle of fish and people. Beers, caf\u00e9s. Hookahs. In the evening, a gentle deluge of colorful mists. Everything is golden. All is purple. The city is so noisy it knocks you out. I limited myself to the Blue Mosque and the Bazaar. What is Turkish oscillates all the time between brutality, cordiality, curiosity. All strong. Small or large, twisted, deformed. Carved, or rather roughed up, with an axe by short-sighted people. The streets: no traffic rules, cars speeding along or turning left or right (there's no such thing) like buffaloes. And the smell: a powerful breath of excrement and very sour whey.\u00bb<\/p>\n
In Erzurum.<\/p>\n
\u00abPoplar avenue. Low, tiered town with fortress belt. Light asserts itself right down to the backs of white sheep.\u00bb<\/p>\n
In Iran.<\/p>\n
\u00abThe colors change in Iran. The mountains are receding, the plains widening. Culture\u00ab becomes rarer. It suddenly exists. We report on the vineyards. Because there's a grape harvest, and two hundred meters beyond the vines: camels grazing on a kind of thistle. But I mentioned the colors: they look like perfume stains, pink, yellow, blue. They are mountains veiled like women's faces by the dust that is the desert mist. The wind blows it.<\/p>\n
People are changing too: browner, less indiscreet, sadder and dreamier.\u00bb<\/p>\n
In Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
\u00abBut I discovered one of the most beautiful sites in the world: Bamian.
\nAn oasis in the desert.
\nA desert of sand hills, endless folds.
\nIn the distance, what you might call the Alps, turning blue with tiny patches of snow.
\nUp close, the green, grey and pink cliffs with the niches of ten thousand Buddhist monks and two gigantic Buddhas with mutilated heads.\u00bb<\/p>\n
A wealth of writing<\/h3>\n
This last part of the correspondence reflects the success of the couple's literary output. Maurice won both admiration and hatred with his must-read Les Maquereaux des cimes blanches (1976). Corinna won the Prix Goncourt for short stories in 1975, and was co-published by Galland and Gallimard.<\/p>\n
\u00abI'm glad your first impression of Little Love Stories isn't a bad one. I still wrote some on the boat, but I'm going to stop. This intense vein will now give way to other works: the longer \u00abBaroque Tales\u00bb and the short novels \u00abA Passion\u00bb etc. As I've been able to make a lot of progress on the boat, with my Demoiselle sauvage almost completely reupholstered, I'll soon be able to send it off to Galland.\u00bb<\/p>\n
A bond that transcends all<\/h3>\n
\u00abI'd also like to tell you this:
\ni love you
\nit's difficult, there's a misunderstanding on many points
\nor am I really creating an impossibility, a petty misery for you?
\nSo often I wish things would turn out differently - sometimes so often I believe in a bond between you and me that transcends everything\u00bb.\u00bb<\/p>\n
Maurice ne peut \u00eatre plus juste dans sa d\u00e9claration. La couple a connu bien des difficult\u00e9s, des chutes et des essoufflements, mais il est l\u00e0\u00a0: implacable et glorieux, jusqu\u2019au bout, en 1979, ann\u00e9e du d\u00e9c\u00e8s de Corinna. Transcendance au sein d\u2019une relation atypique et sublime.<\/p>\n
Les derniers mots \u00e9pistolaires de l\u2019un envers l\u2019autre se donnent \u00e0 savourer, dans une simplicit\u00e9 qui leur ressemble.<\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0Je t\u2019embrasse et salue tes amis.
\nFifon\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab A toi tendrement en esp\u00e9rant que tu te reposes bien. Et \u00e0 bient\u00f4t apr\u00e8s
\nMaurice \u00bb<\/p>\n
