About The Book

Il a �t� constat� ces derni�res ann�es, tant en Ha�ti que sur la sc�ne internationale, un regain d'int�r�t pour la personne ainsi que l'oeuvre de Jacques Stephen Alexis, figure embl�matique de la litt�rature d'Ha�ti et de la Cara�be. Tout � la fois, m�decin, journaliste, romancier, essayiste et homme politique, ce natif des Gona�ves qui a d�but� dans la litt�rature par un essai tr�s remarqu� sur le po�te ha�tien Hamilton Garoute a laiss� une oeuvre inachev�e compos�e d'articles, d'essais, de contes (Romancero aux �toiles) et de romans qui n'ont cess� d'�tre l'objet de traductions et d'�tudes sous formes de m�moires, de th�ses de doctorat, d'essais et d'articles. En juin 2018, L'espace d'un cillement (1959) a �t� le premier laur�at du prix Jean d'Ormesson. En 2016, l'�ditrice Laure Leroy des �ditions Zulma a retrouv� la suite inachev�e de ce roman qui sera publi�e sous le titre L'�toile Absinthe. Le premier roman de Jacques Stephen Alexis, Comp�re g�n�ral soleil (1955), a �t� traduit en anglais par Carrol F. Coates en 1999 et en cr�ole par �denne Roc en 2018. L'int�r�t pour l'oeuvre d'Alexis se manifeste aussi par sa r�ception interne dans la litt�rature ha�tienne comme c'est le cas chez Lyonel Trouillot qui a publi�, en 2011, son roman intitul� La belle amour humaine en �cho au texte du m�me titre publi� par Jacques Stephen Alexis en janvier 1957. Lui rendant hommage pour le prix Jean d'Ormesson, Dany Laferri�re reconna�t que l'auteur de L'espace d'un cillement n'a jamais cess� de cheminer en lui.
[...]
2022 est une ann�e lumi�re. C'est l'ann�e qui marque le centenaire de Jacques Stephen Alexis, cet �crivain lumineux ayant laiss� ses empreintes sur les lettres francophones, en particulier la litt�rature ha�tienne. D'aucuns diront qu'Alexis, pour reprendre une expression ch�re � Eddy Arnold Jean se r�f�rant � Coriolan Ardouin, est pass� comme une com�te dans l'histoire de la litt�rature ha�tienne, et rien ne pr�dit si la post�rit� sera capable de lui rendre ce qu'elle lui doit tant son g�nie, sa science et son engagement n'ont d'�gal que dans cet amour vou� � l'homme, son semblable, � ce r�ve, cet id�al parcourant son oeuvre de part en part... Ce v�ritable m�t�ore, quelquefois oubli� comme tant d'autres de la critique, a droit � la reconnaissance de la post�rit� pour avoir laiss� une oeuvre gigantesque, source in�puisable pour la naissance d'une nouvelle humanit�.
[...]
Ce num�ro de Legs et Litt�rature se propose de porter un (nouveau) regard sur la vie et l'oeuvre de Jacques Stephen dans toute sa port�e militante, politique, litt�raire, philosophique et id�ologique en comparaison au contexte historique qui l'a vue na�tre. Il invite � r�fl�chir sur le sens et la dimension de son engagement � la fois comme cr�ateur, politique et m�decin dans la lutte contre les in�galit�s, l'av�nement d'une cit� juste et �quitable -et, par extension, d'un monde meilleur.
