1948122197New York: New Directions 1948. Signed limited edition one of only 25 copies. Octavo original Japanese vellum spine over patterned boards top edge gilt. Translated by Lloyd Alexander. In near fine condition. Rare and desirable. One of Sartre's greatest existentialist works of fiction The Wall contains the only five short stories he ever wrote. Set during the Spanish Civil War the title story crystallizes the famous philosopher's existentialism. The Wall the lead story in this collection introduces three political prisoners on the night prior to their execution. Through the gaze of an impartial doctor-seemingly there for the men's solace-their mental descent is charted in exquisite often harrowing detail. And as the morning draws inexorably closer the men cross the psychological wall between life and death long before the first shot rings out. This brilliant snapshot of life in anguish is the perfect introduction to a collection of stories where the neurosis of the modern world is mirrored in the lives of the people that inhabit it .

1947122379London: Hamish Hamilton 1947. First edition of Sartre's classic novel. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with unnecessary enforcement to the rear. Jacket design by Michael Ayrton. Translated from the French by Eric Sutton. First editions are uncommon. The Age of Reason is concerned with Sartre's conception of freedom as the ultimate aim of human existence. The work seeks to illustrate the existentialist notion of ultimate freedom through presenting a detailed account of the characters' psychologies as they are forced to make significant decisions in their lives. As the novel progresses character narratives espouse Sartre's view of what it means to be free and how one operates within the framework of society with this philosophy. The novel is a fictional reprise of some of the main themes in his major philosophical study Being and Nothingness 1943. One of the notions is that ultimately a person's freedom is unassailable as it is fundamentally part of the nothingness that is the imagination and so cannot be taken away or destroyed.

1963WRCLIT68807Bruxelles: Impr. J. Lichtert & Fils for: Universal International 1963. Original pictorial color Belgian one-sheet trimmed to 49 x 35 cm costing the extended blank top margin as often. Neatly linen- backed. Original folds visible a couple of short marginal tears closed as well as 2 cm closed tear with no loss in image area minuscule loss to lower extreme blank tips a few surface rubs but overall a bright well- preserved example. A beautiful one sheet for the Belgian / French language release of John Huston's 1962 biopic about Sigmund Freud starring Montgomery Clift Susannah York et al. The history of the development of this film which began with Huston soliciting Jean-Paul Sartre to write the script is a long and interesting one -- it has been the subject of at least one substantial book and the discovery in 2001 of a lost interim draft will further illuminate its development. Suffice it to say in the end Sartre requested that his name appear nowhere in the credits and here as usual the screenplay is credited to Huston and to Charles Kaufman and Wolfgang Reinhardt who Huston called in to whittle Sartre's work down to manageable size.
