Valentin KATAEV (1897-1986, Ukrainian writer of the Soviet Era) / Letter in Russian autograph signed, 2 p in-4 (2 separate sheets), letterhead of the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo, [April 1966], to the illustrator Jean EFFEL (1908-1982, Author of the animated film "The Creation of the World") : The Bolshoi of Moscow has the idea of staging a ballet based on Jean Effel's creation "The Creation of the World", for which Valentin Kataev would write the libretto - He would like to know his opinion on this subject and if he could come and execute the sets in 1967 - Enclosed: The translation of the letter of Valentin KATAEV by Gala BARBISAN (1904-1982, Russian patron and salon owner, creator of the Prix Médicis), 2 p in-8, in her hand, on her Parisian address of 20 rue Corot (it is in this Montmartre house that she held her literary salon, a house that was previously inhabited by Suzanne Valadon and her son Maurice Utrillo and that will be in 1989 that of Bernard Buffet) - Enclosed: The original typescript of the response of Jean EFFEL, 2 p in-4, April 29, 1966 - We note that Jean Effel commits an enormous blunder: having misread and understood the letter of Gala Barbisan, he addresses a "Mrs. Valentine Rataev"!! [Jean Effel, communist activist, was very appreciated and known in the USSR].
