SARTRE, JEAN PAUL. 1905-1980.
Autograph Manuscript, 19 pp, 8vo, n.p., n.d. [1950s], being fragments from the unfinished novel La dernière chance, on graph paper with hole punches in left margin, mild toning.
Provenance: Parke-Bernet, November 1, 1961, lot 499.
UNPUBLISHED FRAGMENTS FROM THE UNFINISHED FOURTH BOOK OF SARTRE'S NOVEL CYCLE, LES CHEMINS DE LA LIBERTÉ (Roads to Freedom). Sartre abandoned work on the fourth novel, which he planned to title La dernière chance, sometime in the 1950s. Two chapters of the work had appeared in Les Temps modernes under the title Strange Friendship in 1949, and a version of the novel comprised of these two chapters plus fragments found within a manuscript of Death in the Soul (the third novel in the cycle), was published in the Pleiades edition of Ouevres Romanesques (1981). At the time the editors noted the existence of a large manuscript that had sold in France in 1959 that they had been unable to consult. Whether the present fragments comprise part of that un-consulted manuscript is unknown.
The present manuscript, which centers around the characters of La Mort dans l'âme including Mathieu and Pinette, includes notes, dialogues, and carefully elaborated scenes wherein the characters prepare their escape from a German prison camp.
"The fourth part of Roads of Freedom is undoubtedly the most talked about of all Sartre's unpublished works...." (Contat and Bauer, The Last Chance p 203).
