" Vendredi –
Je m'attendais bien vaguement à une petite surprise, mais je ne croyais pas que ce fût aussi beau. – Franchement, je suis très enchanté, et je conçois que dans deux ou trois jours, ayant tous les moyens de réparer une fainéantise de six mois, je n'aurai guère d'excuses.
– Quant à la question d'amour-propre, elle est nulle. – Il n'y a pas d'amour-propre possible avec ceux que nous aimons et qui nous aiment. –
Seulement, tu as été prodigue ; – il est possible que je n'accepte qu'une partie de ce que tu m'offres ;par exemple, je ne ferai peut-être payer la chambre le loyer que pour trois mois ; la question de santé, – je m'y connais assez, – peut se résoudre avec… Read More

Remarkable letter from Malraux about Man's Fate


"Monsieur, Merci de l'article que vs [vous] avez consacré à mon livre.
Je comprends, certes, la méfiance que peut inspirer un livre sur la Chine; mais, précisément, (il se trouve que j'ai participé à des évènements semblables à ceux que je mets en scène) le milieu révolutionnaire de Canton, de Han-Keou, de Shanghaï, était fort peu Chinois, en fait: majorité de blancs; et même plus profondément, car les Chinois qui en faisaient partie n'étaient plus Chinois. La révolution, depuis 1911 a été faite par des cadres protestants ou occidentalisés. Quant à l'orthodoxie communiste de certaines phrases, elle n'est pas douteuse, mais elle ne l'était pas davantage en réalité. Tout cela n'a d'ailleurs pas grande importance; je n'y insiste que parce que je réponds à votre article en en suivant le déroulement,… Read More

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… Read More
