Precious unpublished preparatory manuscript for Les Mots, one of the densest that can be found of Sartre's autobiographical masterpiece


" Je ne ressentais rien, toute mon énergie s'absorbait à produire cette mutation dans cette mue. Je fus atteint de distraction chronique ; possédé par mon absence, nulle part je ne me sentis présent tout à fait. Par comédie, par zèle, j'avais été l'enfant le plus sage ; par indifférence, je devins plus docile encore, je me prêtai aux éponges, aux brosses, au gant de crin : pendant qu'on me bouchonnait, j'écoutais en moi-même le bruit des marteaux qui battaient le fer. Je gagnais tout à cette nouvelle imposture : jusque-là, quand je faisais le héros, je n'oubliais jamais que c'était un jeu, que j'étais un mal-bâti. Bref, je n'y croyais pas. Mais je… Read More

" Oui, mon cher Henry, je serai bien heureux de te revoir.
Viens donc dîner un de ces soirs, à ton gré, en nous en avisant. Si Erica et Ivo, peuvent d'accompagner, ce sera très bien.
On causera un peu ; on se voit si rarement !
Et tu es un de ceux que j'aime bien mon cher Henry.
Depuis la mort de ma chère mère, j'ai reporté sur ceux qui, comme elle, ne me font jamais tant que du bien, tout l'affection que j'avais par elle : et ta part est grande, car ils sont rares, ceux là !
Bien affectueusement.
P.S "
