Jean-Paul SARTRE (1905-1980). Autograph manuscript; 55 pages in-4.
These unordered, first-draft leaves relate to various writings by Sartre in the 1950s.
Only the first three pages follow each other. Together with the next three, which do not form a sequence, they concern preparatory work for the third part of Communistes et la Paix (a series of articles published in Les Temps modernes in 1952 and 1954). This is followed by two sheets that seem to relate to work on Mallarmé (circa 1952). Then eight sheets of notes and plans for a work on Morale, perhaps a conference.
The following eleven pages, which concern the relationship between politics and morality and date from after June 1953 (with reference to the Rosenbergs), can be linked to these. The following eleven pages can be linked to the second part of Communistes et la Paix (1952), the next fifteen to the third. Finally, the last page belongs to an early version of Les Séquestrés d'Altona (1958). As they stand, these disparate sheets of drafts are interesting as samples of Sartre's working manuscripts.
We enclose 2 copies of Sartre's article Une victoire (in Témoignages et documents sur la guerre en Algérie), and an issue of Quinzaine littéraire (March 1968): Foucault répond à Sartre; plus a l.s. from Roger Bordier to Sartre, August 29, 1955 (on the letterhead of Faim & Soif).
