Henri Bosco came from a Provençal, Ligurian and Piedmontese family, whose best-identified origins are near Genoa. His paternal family is related to Don John Bosco, the founder of the Salesians in Turin. He was born at number 3 rue Carreterie, between place Pignotte and place des Carmes, in Avignon, in November 1888. At the end of the 19th century, it was the district of Italians, who had their parish there. His birthplace is today marked by a marble plaque.His father, Louis Bosco (1847-1927), was originally from Marseille where he is buried, although he died in Lourmarin. He was a stonemason, violin maker and opera singer, often traveling. His mother, Louise Falena (1859-1942), born in Nice, is buried in Rabat where her son was stationed at the time of the Second World War. He is the fifth child, the first four having died prematurely.He was three years old when his family left the city centre to live in a larger house close to the Durance, the Mas du Gage, at the end of the Monclar district, in the Baigne-Pieds2 district. His mother first taught him to read and write herself. He entered class at the age of ten, rue Bouquerie, at the Ortolans school. Marc Maynègre indicates that during absences due to his father's commitments, the young Henri was looked after by Julie Jouve , his godmother, originally from Bédoin, who became caretaker of the Avignon Conservatory, or by aunt Clarisse, whom Bosco would make the aunt Martine of his novels.He studied Greek and Latin in the papal city. He is a boarder at the Avignon high school. "At the same time, he continued studying music (harmony and musical composition) at the Avignon Conservatory for eight years, while taking violin lessons from Mr. Maillet, the organist of the Saint-Agricol church, opposite the Roumanille bookstore, a famous félibre and friend of Frédéric Mistral. Henri Bosco will refer to it later in Antonin »3. In 1909, Bosco obtained his degree in literature and his diploma of higher studies at the University of Grenoble, obtaining his diploma after presenting a thesis on the Avignon papacy (a papal feast given at the Palace), then he prepared for and passed his Italian aggregation at the French Institute in Florence.Mobilized in the EastHaving become a talented musician, he spent his free time playing and even writing music. During the First World War, he was mobilized in the 4th Zouave Regiment in Salonika. Having become a sergeant-interpreter at the General Staff of the Army of the Orient, his new role did not take him away from the shores of the Mediterranean. He campaigned in the Dardanelles, Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Hungary and Greece.The end of the Great War led him first to Belgrade, to the Faculty of Letters where he taught French, during the academic year 1919-1920, as a lecturer and assistant to Professor Bogdan Popović.Taking advantage of his military assignment, the young academic copied and deciphered a number of ancient inscriptions. He became friends with Robert Laurent-Vibert, an erudite industrialist from Lyon, with whom, after hostilities had ended, he took part in the rescue and restoration of the Château de Lourmarin, in the south of the Luberon. In 1941 he became one of the directors of the Fondation de Lourmarin Laurent-Vibert4, founded by the Academy of Sciences, Agriculture, Art and Belles Lettres of Aix-en-Provence.Neapolitan stayWhen peace returned, he was seconded to the French Institute in Naples where he gave public courses for ten years. There is a colleague Jean Grenier, as well as Max Jacob, passing through the Amalfi coast. In 1924, he wrote his first book, Pierre Lampédouze, in which he described his hometown: “The whole town is silvered with pure metal. It's Palm Sunday. Saint-Agricol cries out his joy. Saint-Didier rings in all winds. Saint-Pierre has clappers that turn the bells. The Carmelites sing in patois an old song from Maillane, all the chapels call to each other in the distant streets where the brotherhoods once flourished, and the brotherhoods and convents which are lost under the ramparts, make their little bells dance, and the large bronze of the drone of Notre-Dame des Doms on which four parishes depend, from the summit of its metropolis, casts its glory and its clarity throughout all of Provence.His second book, Irénée, is inspired by a first and great love for the beautiful Trieste Silvia Fondra without fading the memory of her native Provence.During his stay in Naples, he became passionate about the ongoing research on Pompeii and the famous Villa of the Mysteries, with a particular interest in Orphism.He married on July 16, 1930 in Ollioules, in the Var, to the Gersoise Marie-Madeleine Rhodes (1898-1985). Hememories ".Novelist from the LuberonArriving at retirement age from National Education, Henri shares his life between Nice and Lourmarin, in the company of Madeleine. In January 1955, he bought the Maison Rose, in Cimiez, on the heights of Nice6. He often stays in his bastidon of Lourmarin, celebrating the Luberon, land of peasants and winegrowers that he loves, but above all of mystery that he will sing with Homeric accents.At the time of the almond trees in bloom, Lourmarin, the second home of Henri BoscoIn 1955, he was a candidate for the French Academy7.A humanist, Bosco loves this magical mountain: simple men since the dawn of time have lived and suffered there, in the heart of generous nature. "I know them all, the human sites from which men left, the charcoal burner's shelter, the wine vat dug into the rock wall, the hunter's forgotten fire station and, somewhere in a place haunted by me alone, lost in the bush, this immense area with embankments and four large ditches eaten up by grass. An old people, rough and sensible, during an energetic migration, had undoubtedly once established their camp there in the shadow of the Earth. »Last wishesTombstone of Henri Bosco at the Lourmarin cemeteryThe cantor of the Luberon wanted to rest in the cemetery of Lourmarin. He expressed his last wishes in a text published by his friends from Alpes de Lumières: “Finally we will sing of your beasts: foxes, martens, martens, badgers, nocturnals and the wild boar who is perhaps your last god (But silence , you understand me...).For me, if one day I have to fall far from your power, I want my ashes to be brought back to Lourmarin, north of the river, where my father lived and where, for too short a time, I knew the advice of Friendship.And then let us dig on your wall, in the limestone, up there far from the houses inhabited by men, between the black oak and the funeral laurel, a hole, O Luberon, at the bottom of your wildest district. I will sleep there.And may we engrave, if then someone cares about my shadow, on the rock of my tomb, despite my death, this boar”8.He died in Nice in 1976 at the age of 87 and is buried in Lourmarin (Vaucluse). His wife died in 1985.His novels for adults and children constitute a sensitive evocation of Provençal life where a free and succulent imagination contributes to the captivating power of his writing. Nowadays, the trilogy L'Âne Culotte - Hyacinthe - Jardin d'Hyacinthe as well as Malicroix, Le Mas Théotime, L'Enfant et la Rivière, L'Inhabitant de Sivergues, Le rameau de la nuit, Le reef, among others, are republished in many languages and are bestsellers. The work of Henri Bosco has been the subject of numerous studies since the first four doctoral theses defended during the author's lifetime: Jean Cleo Godin (A Poetics of Mystery, Montreal, 1968), Lionel Poitras (Participation in world, Fribourg, 1971), Gérard Valin (Henri Bosco and Novalis, two mystical poets, Paris-Nanterre, 1973), Jean-Pierre Cauvin (The poetics of sacred, 1976).The Henri Bosco Friendship association was created with the participation of the author in Nice in 1973. Ludo van Bogaert, Madeleine Bosco, Jean Onimus led the first years of activity. Professor Claude Girault, a Germanist from the University of Caen, took over by giving a decisive impetus to international conferences and the Cahiers Henri Bosco; the latter include a large number of his works, very inspired by German romanticism, from the archives left at the University Library of the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, received in 1972 by his friend Monique Baréa, head of the Amitiés Henri Bosco, director of the Letters section of the library. Claude Girault, friend of the author, became the legatee of his newspaper (the diary) upon his death.Henri Bosco was Commander of the Legion of Honor (1973).Bosco and BachelardHenri Bosco is one of Gaston Bachelard9's favorite writers, who frequently cites him in his works to comment on his images and metaphors, notably in The Flame of a Candle.
