Valery Larbaud is a French writer, poet, novelist, essayist, and translator, born on August 29, 1881, in Vichy, the city 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 the pharmacist Nicolas Larbaud, owner of the Vichy Saint-Yorre spring (fifty-nine at the birth of his son) and of Isabelle Bureau des Étivaux (thirty-eight), daughter of a lawyer and Republican activist from Gannat whose client is Nicolas Larbaud, and whose son bears his father’s name. He is only eight years old when his father dies 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 developed a love for literature. In 1895, he traveled along the Mediterranean, and his imagination remained influenced by these landscapes. The young man obtained his baccalaureate in July 1898 and his bachelor's degree in literature in 1908.
His family fortune ensures him a comfortable life that allows him to travel across Europe at great expense. Luxury steamships, 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 hosts his friends, Charles-Louis Philippe, André Gide, Léon-Paul Fargue, and G. Jean-Aubry, who will become his biographer.
After suffering 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 say anything other than: 'Good evening, the things of this world.' During these years, he was lovingly cared for by Professor Théophile Alajouanine, a specialist in aphasia, 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 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.
There he dies in 1957, without descendants. He is buried in the Bartins Cemetery (see Wikipedia).
