1949Best.-Nr. 32820672Two volumes. Original decorated cloth designed by Mario Prassinos. Fine. FIRST EDITIONS. The two volumes were published months apart in 1949 each in an edition of 2000 numbered copies from a total edition of 2150. This landmark of feminism presents a scathing analysis of the history and treatment of women in the patriarchal West. Beauvoir begins by asking "What is woman" She argues that man is the default while woman is Other: "Thus humanity is male and man defines woman not herself but as relative to him." "To state the question is to me to suggest at once a preliminary answer. The fact that I ask it is in itself significant. A man would never set out to write a book on the peculiar situation of the human male. But if I wish to define myself I must first of all say: 'I am a woman'; on this truth must be based all further discussion. A man never begins by presenting himself as an individual of a certain sex; it goes without saying that he is a man …" "The Second Sex was published in France in 1949 a year after the author—a thirty-eight-year-old public intellectual—was allowed to vote for the first time. French women so belatedly enfranchised would not have access to legal birth control until 1967 or to legal first-trimester abortions until 1975" Judith Thurman. The Second Sex has been translated into more than a dozen languages and has sold millions of copies. It is central work in the transition from the feminism of the woman suffrage era to the second wave feminism of the second half of the 20th century and beyond. A beautiful set of this landmark work.

1951Best.-Nr. Beauv1BEAUVOIR Simone de 1908-1986 Autograph manuscript for her essay Must we burn Sade N.p.n.d 1951 7 pages in-4 on grid paper Some corrections one crossed off paragraph from her hand clipper mark on first sheet Remarkable autograph manuscript for her famous essay Must we burn Sade This manuscript contains slight variations with the published one. " En quoi mérite-t-il de nous intéresser Ses admirateurs mêmes reconnaissent volontiers que son œuvre est dans sa plus grande partie illisible ; philosophiquement elle n'échappe à la banalité que pour sombrer dans l'incohérence. Quant à ses rêves ils n'étonnent pas par leur originalité ; dans ce domaine Sade n'a rien inventé et on rencontre à foison dans des traités de psychiatrie des cas pour le moins aussi étranges que le sien. En vérité ce n'est ni comme auteur ni comme perverti sexuel que Sade s'impose à notre attention : c'est par la relation qu'il a créée entre ces deux aspects de lui-même. Les anomalies de Sade prennent leur valeur du moment où au lieu de les subir comme une nature donnée il élabore un immense système afin de les revendiquer …. Sade a tenté de convertir son destin psycho-physiologique en un choix éthique ; de cet acte par lequel il assumait sa séparation il a prétendu faire un exemple et un appel : c'est par là que son aventure revêt une large signification humaine " " Il y avait à cette époque bien des libertins qui se livraient à de pires orgies impunément ; mais je suppose que dans le cas de Sade le scandale était fatal ; il est certains "pervertis sexuels" auxquels s'appliquent exactement le mythe de M. Hyde et du Docteur Jekyll ; ils espère pouvoir d'abord satisfaire leurs "vices" sans compromettre leur personnage officiel ; mais ils sont assez imaginatifs pour se pense peu à peu par un vertige où se mêlent honte et orgueil ils se découvrent : ainsi Charlus malgré ses ruses et par ses ruses mêmes " … " Chez le héros sadique l'agressivité mâle n'est pas atténuée par l'ordinaire métamorphose du corps en chair ; pas un instant il ne se perd dans son animalité : il demeure si lucide si cérébral qu'au lieu de le gêner dans ses élans les discours philosophiques sont pour lui un aphrodisiaque. … Grâce à cette démesure l'acte sexuel créé cette illusion de jouissance souveraine qui en fait aux yeux de Sade le prix incomparable … " " À partir du scandale de 1763 l'érotisme de Sade n'est plus seulement une attitude individuelle ; c'est aussi un défi de la société. Dans une lettre à sa femme Sade explique comment de ses goûts il a fait des principes : "Ces principes et ces goûts sont portés par moi jusqu'au fanatisme" écrit-il "et le fanatisme est l'ouvrage des persécutions de mes tyrans". L'intention suprême qui anime toute activité sexuelle c'est qu'elle se veut criminelle : cruauté ou souillure il s'agit de réaliser le mal " … " Et puis sur le papier l'auteur prolongeant indéfiniment l'agonie de la victime peut éterniser l'instant privilégié où un esprit lucide habite un corps qui se dégrade en matière ; il insuffle encore un passé vivant dans la dépouille inconsciente : mais en vérité que ferait un tyran de cet "objet inerte" : un cadavre " These pages were replaced to be typed for insertion in this essay on Sade which will be published in December 1951 in the n° 74 of Les Temps modernes taken up with two others in Privilèges Gallimard 1955 and since then collected with the same under the title Must we burn Sade The text of the manuscript contains slight variations with the published one. In Must we burn Sade Simone de Beauvoir tries to show how the divine marquis after having provoked the scandal sought to reconcile his individual pleasures and his social existence; how through his works he wanted to assume his sexual practice by transforming it into ethics. It raises the question of the criminalization of sexuality how society codifies it and the norm. We attach the carbon copies by Berthe Mandinaud of these pages.
