‎First edition of one of Sartre's most important literary productions, with a signed presentation-inscription ""A Monsieur/ Maurice Nöel/ homage toi/ sympathique de/ JPSartre""Maurice Noël was an important person in literary circles at the time, and in fact the year 1947, when Sartre's ""Theatre"" was published, was of utmost importance to both Noël and French history of literature - it is the year that ""Le Figaro Littéraire"" is born, and Noël was its director.The respected literary supplement to Figaro, ""Le Figaro Littéraire"", is the oldest literary supplement to the paper. In the beginning when Noël started it, it was an independent publication, but today it has been re-integrated into the Figaro, where it appears every Tuesday. From its beginning, ""Le Figaro Littéraire"" has been recognized as an important and respected publication, well known for its slandering of the purges and totalitarian Soviet regime.At the time of Sartre, ""Le Figaro Littéraire"" was highly important politically, intellectually, and ideologically, and Sartre played a great role in the gathering intellectuals and writers to join and spread the political and literary message of ""Le Figaro Littéraire"", a main one being the literary freedom of authors suppressed by communist regimes. The journal did much to defend and help writers of socialist countries.Contat&Rybalka: 47/116. ""Les réimpressions ont 317 pp."".

‎L'Ange du morbide (Conte). [In: La Revue sans titre. Organe de Défense des Jeunes. Deuxième èdition]. - [SARTRE'S FIRST PUBLICATION]‎

‎(Paris, 1923). Lex 8vo. Entire issue present, with the original printed wrappers. Some tears to spine and a bit of wear to extremities. A fagile publication. Ff. (6-7). [Entire issue: 8 ff.).‎

‎Sartre's extremely scarce first publication, in the also exceedingly scarce first number of the ""La Revue sans titre"", here in the second edition from the same year, which is of equal scarcity to the first. When Contat and Rybalka were making the bibliography of the writings of Sartre, they had great difficulty in finding the interesting rebellion publication ""La Revue sans titre"", which was - and is - not present in any French library. In fact, they finally borrowed a run of the magazine from M. Jean Gaulmier, professor of literature in Strasbourg, who possessed the only collection of the periodical that they could track down. The ""L'Ange du morbid"" had been reproduced in 1947 by Marc Beigbeder in his ""L'Homme Sartre"", but not quite in its entirety, and Contat and Rybalka thus printed the text again, for the second time since 1923, at the back of their Sartre-bibliography (1970) as the first part of the second appendix, which has the half-title ""Textes retrouvés"" (rediscovered texts). This interesting story which constitutes Sartre's first publication was published when he was merely 18 years old. In a strongly satirical tone Sartre tells the story of a mediocre professor's adventure with a young patient who has tuberculoses. The main character, the professor of a small provincial school, constitutes the pre-figuration of the highly unsympathetic character that occupies his following publications. The ""Revue sans titre"", of which we here have number one in its entirety, is also in itself interesting. The director of the publication is Charle Fraval, and the editorial secretary is Roger Letac. The publication claims to be ""in defense of the Young"", and on the front wrapper it states ""Those who suffer from the mercantilism of literature, those whose talent is suppressed by the literary magnates, in short all the Young, have reason to read ""REVUE SANS TITRE"", the only organ in defense of the Young"" (own translation, original: ""Ceux qui souffrent du mercantilisme de la literature, ceux don't le talent est étouffé par les magnats des letters, tous les jeunes en un mot, ont intérêt à lire la ""Revue sans titre"" seul organe de defense des Jeunes.""‎

(4), 162, (2, -Table) pp.‎

‎First edition of Sartre's first book, of which no numbered or large paper copies were printed, and which only appeared thus. Published when Sartre was 30 years old, ""L'Imagination"" constitutes his first full philosophical work and the first presentation of his basic arguments concerning phenomenology, consciousness and intentionality, which he later developed in full, and which came to have a profound influence on 20th century philosophy.Sartre, who on the title-page is described as ""professeur au lycée du Havre"", was requested to write the present work by Professor H. Delacroix, who was the supervisor on his dissertation. Before establishing his central arguments about ""Imagination"", Sartre famously criticizes earlier theories of imagination, in particular those of Descartes, Leibnitz, and Hume. He goes on to discussing psychological theories of imagination, including Bergson - the critique of whom offended for instance Meeau-Ponty, who otherwise praised Sartre's book. Finally, Sartre provides a highly important interpretation of Husserl's theory of imagination, which foreshadows the phenomenological way of understanding imagination that was to dominate the decades to come. As thus, the work constitutes an important work in the history of phenomenology. and of 20th century philosophy.Contat & Rybalka: 36/8‎

‎Paris, Nagel, 1946. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. Uncut copy. The spine shows light wear, with a small tear to lower front hinge, but remains fully intact. The corners are slightly bumped, and there is minor edge wear to the covers. Internally clean and well-preserved throughout.‎

‎First edition, presentation-copy, of one of the most significant plays. Inscribed and signed by Sartre to front free end-paper: ""Les extrêmes se touchent toujours. / C’est pourquoi je dédie / cet ouvrage à Madame / Tage Hansen, laquelle n’est / ni putain ni respectueuse. / Paul S."" Jean-Paul Sartre's La Putain respectueuse is one of the most significant plays in his vast literary oeuvre, first published in 1946, just after World War II, during a time of profound social and political change. This play is not only a compelling dramatic work but also a profound exploration of existentialist philosophy, a hallmark of Sartre’s writing. Sartre masterfully weaves his philosophical ideas into La Putain respectueuse, using it to examine the complex intersection of race, class, and moral integrity—themes that resonate powerfully both in their historical context and in contemporary discussions. Sartre was inspired in part by his relationship with Simone de Beauvoir, a prominent philosopher and writer. Their intellectual partnership greatly influenced Sartre's exploration of themes such as gender and morality, as Beauvoir's work often challenged traditional notions of femininity and societal roles. This context deepens the understanding of Sartre's characters and moral dilemmas. Set in the deeply segregated American South, the play offers a sharp critique of racial injustice, centering on a Black man falsely accused of rape. This accusation reflects the pervasive systemic racism of the time, which remains largely unchallenged by society. The protagonist, Lizzie, a prostitute, finds herself at the heart of a moral and ethical dilemma. Her testimony could either condemn an innocent man or align with the corrupt powers that seek to manipulate her. Lizzie’s struggle embodies a broader existential question: How can one maintain individual freedom and moral integrity when society pressures them to comply with injustice? In La Putain respectueuse, Sartre’s meditations on freedom and responsibility come to life. Lizzie’s plight encapsulates the existential challenge of living authentically—staying true to oneself and one’s values—while being caught in the web of societal expectations and moral compromise. Sartre’s existentialist philosophy argues that individuals are ""condemned to be free,"" meaning that freedom carries the unavoidable weight of choice. Lizzie’s decision becomes a powerful commentary on the human condition, the burden of ethical choices, and the often painful consequences of moral courage. Beyond its philosophical depth, La Putain respectueuse stands as an exemplary representation of Sartre’s ability to merge political commentary with dramatic intensity. His critique of systemic racism and class exploitation remains highly relevant, offering both a historical reflection and a mirror to contemporary issues of inequality and oppression. This work remains a cornerstone of French theatre and existentialist thought, emblematic of Sartre’s enduring intellectual legacy. La Putain respectueuse continues to offer profound insights into the social conflicts of its time while maintaining a timeless relevance in its exploration of the human condition.‎
