‎The Way of a Pilgrim‎

‎ Les Récits d'un pèlerin russe sont considérés comme l'un des chefs-d'oeuvre spirituels de l'orthodoxie russe. Les "Prière du coeur" qu'il recèle, semblables aux techniques utilisées dans l'hindouisme et le bouddhisme, ne purent qu'intéresser Kerouac, qui se documenta beaucoup sur le sujet lors de ses retraites à Desolation Peak et ses recherches au moment de publier son diptyque spirituel : Les Clochards célestes et Le Vagabond solitaire. New York, Harper & Brothers, 1952. 1 vol. (120 x 185 mm) de 242 p. et [1] f. Cartonnage et jaquette illustrée de l'éditeur. ‎

‎Récits d'un pèlerin russe est le titre en français d'un ouvrage russe de la fin du XIXe siècle, écrit par un auteur anonyme, considéré comme l'un des chefs-d'oeuvre spirituels de l'orthodoxie russe. Cet ouvrage, publié plusieurs fois à partir de 1880, dans des versions légèrement différentes, a été largement diffusé en Europe et traduit dans de multiples langues. Il est régulièrement réédité jusqu'à nos jours, chez de nombreux éditeurs ; le manuscrit original, tout comme son auteur, ne sont pas connus. Selon le spécialiste Antoine Arjakovsky, l'original en russe, ou une copie, fut longtemps présent au monastère du mont Athos et fut publié pour la première fois à Kazan en 1865, sous le titre russe de Récit candide d'un pèlerin à son père spirituel (Откровенные рассказы странника духовному своему отцу). Il n'est publié à Paris qu'en 1930. L'exemplaire de Jack Kerouac. Il lui avait été offert par Robert Lax, « l'une des grandes voix originales de notre époque [...], un pèlerin à la recherche d'une belle innocence », des mots mêmes de Kerouac. Circus of the Sun, un recueil de poèmes, est l'une de ses oeuvres les plus acclamées. Lors de sa publication en 1959, le New York Times l'a qualifié de « peut-être le plus grand poème en langue anglaise de ce siècle ». Il quitte les États-Unis en 1964, pour aller vivre plus de trente-cinq ans en Grèce, aux environs de Patmos. L'exemplaire est accompagné d'une note, frappée à la machine, signée par Robert Lax, adressée à Kerouac : «Dear Jack, Am sending you a book (from Russian) called The Way of a Pilgrim. Am reading it now and like it a lot and think you will. In part two which I just skipped to yesterday has a great thing on the power of prayer (page 207) another (146) on the essentials of confession. both are pretty traditional, but stated best here of almost any place. psychologically, for me at least, they're very liberating. (...). Yours, Bob, Olean House, Olean, NY». «When Lax and Kerouac became friends in the 1950's, Kerouac felt a strong attraction to Lax's spirituality and talked about joining him at a Catholic retreat center on the outskirts of Paris, but those were the days just after the great success of On the Road, when fame, alcohol, and easy seduction were drawing Kerouac toward the slough of despond that would eventually kill him. Within a short time Lax himself was corresponding with Kerouac, beginning a friendship that would reach its apex five years later in New York. By then the deadly fame that followed On the Road was making Lax the kind of friend Kerouac needed (...) When Lax moved back to New York for a longer period, he and Kerouac would come to know each other quite well and talk about a wide range of subjects, but during their first encounters their conversations seem to have centered on Christianity and, more specifically, Catholicism. As he did for most of his adult life, Kerouac was living with his devoutly Catholic mother, and in those days before On the Road he was considering turning more fully toward Catholicism rather than away from it, as he did later. One of the things that initially attracted him to Lax was Lax's friendship with Merton, whose writings and monastic life Kerouac admired. As he and Lax spent more time together, he began to see Lax himself as a paragon of what a Catholic could be: a man devoted to both art and the search for truth who chose to live in poverty and simplicity. When Lax was about to return to Europe, he invited Kerouac to come live with him at L'Eau Vive (which Kerouac thought was some kind of monastery) and Kerouac considered it.» (Michale Gregor, The Uncommon Life of Robert Lax, NY, 2015). L'écriture littéraire de Kerouac ira toujours de pair avec la manifestation de sa quête spirituelle : « Toujours chercher. J'arrive à la conclusion que trouver m'emmerde. Et c'est presque tout le temps décevant. » (Journal, p. 137). Il explorera toutes les formes d'écriture, de la prose à la forme la plus brève d'écrit littéraire, le haïku, mais sa recherche spirituelle prendra principalement place dans trois ouvrages, On the Road, Desolation Angels et Dharma Bums, tous rédigés après la parution, et sans doute la lecture, de ce Way of pilgrim. The Way of Piligrim est également au coeur du roman de Salinger Franny and Zooey, publié en 1961 ; Franny, une jeune étudiante, est fascinée par les Récits, décrivant l'ouvrage comme une façon de « voir Dieu », et expliquant que la « Prière du coeur » est semblable aux techniques utilisées dans l'hindouisme et le bouddhisme. Franny and Zooey devint un best-seller international qui contribua à répandre la popularité des Récits au-delà des traditions orthodoxes.
