SARTRE Jean-Paul (1905-1980).
autograph manuscript for Nekrassov, [1955]| 43 sheets in-4 (27 x 21 cm) in a Diane paper pad cover.
First draft and working manuscripts for his play Nekrassov.
This play in eight tableaux was first performed on June 8, 1955 at the Théâtre Antoine in a production by Jean Meyer, with Michel Vitold as Georges and Jean Parédès as Sibilot. To escape the police, the swindler Georges de Valera poses as Nekrassov, a Soviet minister who has "chosen freedom", with the help of Sibilot, a journalist from an anti-communist daily newspaper... The play first appeared in the magazine Les Temps modernes from June to September 1955, two scenes having been given beforehand to the newspaper Libération (20 June 1955), and was published in bookshops by Gallimard in 1956. With great comic force, the play, which denounced anti-communism, provoked a polemic.
These sheets, written in blue-black ink on the front of squared paper, 34 of which are filled to the brim, give primitive versions of different scenes, sometimes in several different drafts, and presenting important variants| other scenes have completely disappeared in the final version (in particular a scene of interrogation in a police station after arrests of protesters). Written quickly, with a few erasures and corrections, they give the dialogues without the names of the protagonists.
For example, let's mention this sheet giving the beginning of the fifth scene (part of which will be included in the sixth scene) and the first draft of scene iv between Georges and Sibilot.
"Bodyguards: 1) Sibilot 2) Journalist from the Figaro 3) Dance party at Mme Bounoumi's to celebrate Perdrière's withdrawal.
[Georges:] Hatred, why not? It's a feeling that is foreign to me.
It doesn't matter where the strings hang. When you hold them in your hand, the puppet works. I make them all work. (The truth is, I'm a little lonely. Tamerlane, Genghis Khan must have been lonely (He stands in front of the mirror). --- I want to turn us in. - What? - I made my resolution just now etc.
You're crazy, Sibilot. You choose your moment well. I have the earth in my hands. It's a top that I'm whipping and rolling. It's always been my dream. I don't care about the money. Pulling the strings. Sibilot, I'm Vautrin! You're
Lucien de Rubempré. You'll get the signature. I'll make you rich, famous, young.
Young!
Of course: it's only a question of money.
I want to turn myself in.
Not so fast. Let's talk first. What is it?
Mouton wants you dead. He's hired Demidoff, a real Kravchenko, this one. Authenticated by the Tass agency. They're both looking for you.
If they find you - and they will - you're screwed. Me too.
Bah!
Beware: Demidoff is terrible
