ALAIN (Émile Chartier, known as) [Mortagne, 1868 - Le Vésinet, 1951], French philosopher. Autograph manuscript signed, entitled "Propos d'un Normand" ("Propos of a Norman"). 2 pages in-4°. "There is never a shortage of people who say that, if you chase away the gods, you take away everything that makes human life great and beautiful [...]. [...] The more I think about it, the more I come to understand that faith in God, on the contrary, makes life very uninteresting; it's nothing more than a rigged show; we're nothing more than puppets; the real actor is hidden in the wings; and his power is worth all the reasons. I don't like these fairy tales, where men are sometimes favored, sometimes thwarted by invisible genies far more powerful than themselves. [...] And why make the future, since God knows it in advance and since His providence guides human history?" Precious manuscript.
