169 - Jean-Paul SARTRE (1905-1980), writer... - Lot 169 - Vermot et Associés
169 - Jean-Paul SARTRE (1905-1980), writer and philosopher, Nobel Prize for Literature in 1964 (which he refused). Important autograph manuscript of 5 pages in-4 (the last page of 3 lines). These are preparatory notes for an article about "L'Affaire Hervé". Pierre Hervé (1913-1993) was a communist, journalist (deputy editor of L'Humanité), former member of the Resistance, and philosophy professor. In January 1956, he published "La Révolution et les fétiches" in which he condemned the dogmatism of the Communist Party (fetishes). This led to his immediate exclusion from the Party in mid-February, just before the opening of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party. The result is a "back and forth" of articles by Sartre, Hervé, Naville, responding to each other in political intellectual jousts, against the background of the USSR situation, détente (or not), Zionist-Trotskyists, etc.: "You reproach me, Hervé, with the fact that I am not the only one to have a political agenda. You reproach me, Hervé, for not being a prophet. You are quite right. Nor are you, for that matter. If you had foreseen the 20th Congress, would you have written your book? […] ». Enclosed: copy of "Situations, VII - Problèmes du Marxisme" by Jean-Paul Sartre in which the NRF has gathered all the texts published by him at that time on the subject of "L'Affaire Hervé", notably "Le Réformisme et les Fétiches".
