--------------------------
Valery Larbaud is a French writer, poet, novelist, essayist, and translator, born on August 29, 1881, in Vichy, the town where he died on February 2, 1957.
He also wrote under the pseudonyms: A.-O. Barnabooth, L. Hagiosy, X. M. Tourmier de Zamble.
Valery Larbaud is the only child of pharmacist Nicolas Larbaud, owner of the Vichy Saint-Yorre spring (fifty-nine years old at the time of his son's birth), and Isabelle Bureau des Étivaux (thirty-eight years old), daughter of a lawyer and republican activist from Gannat, who was a client of Nicolas Larbaud and whose name his son inherits. He was only eight years old when his father died in 1889, in Vichy, at the age of sixty-seven.
No. 71, rue du Cardinal-Lemoine in Paris, where Larbaud lived between 1919 and 1937.
Raised by his mother and aunt, he develops an interest in literature. In 1895, he travels to the edge of the Mediterranean, and his imagination remains imbued with these landscapes. The young man obtained his baccalaureate in July 1898 and his license in letters in 1908.
His family fortune ensures him an easy life that allows him to travel across Europe at great expense. Luxury ocean liners, the Orient-Express, Valery Larbaud leads the life of a dandy, frequents Montpellier in winter, and visits various thermal stations to treat a fragile health from a young age. When he returns to Vichy, he receives his friends, Charles-Louis Philippe, André Gide, Léon-Paul Fargue, and G. Jean-Aubry, who will be his biographer.
Having suffered a stroke in 1935 that left him with right hemiplegia and aphasia, he spent the last twenty-two years of his life, confined to a wheelchair, unable to utter any phrase other than: 'Good evening, the things of this world.' During these years, he was lovingly cared for by Professor Théophile Alajouanine, a specialist in aphasias who became his friend and wrote his biography.
In 1950, he joined the Friends of Robert Brasillach Association.
Great reader, great translator, he had surrounded himself with books that he had bound according to their languages: English novels in blue, Spanish ones in red, and so on.
Having spent his entire fortune, he had to sell his properties and his library of fifteen thousand volumes in 1948, through a life annuity, to the city of Vichy.
He died there in 1957, without descendants. He is buried in the Bartins cemetery. (see Wikipedia)
