Quant à ses rêves ils n'étonnent pas par leur originalité ; dans ce domaine <strong>Sade n'a rien inventé</strong> 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</em> …. <em>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</em> "</p><p><em>" <strong>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</strong> ; 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 "</em> …</p><p><em>" 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.</em> …<strong> <em>Grâce à cette démesure l'acte sexuel créé cette illusion de jouissance souveraine qui en fait aux yeux de Sade le prix incomparable</em></strong> … "</p><p><em>" À partir du scandale de 1763 <strong>l'érotisme de Sade n'est plus seulement une attitude individuelle ; c'est aussi un défi de la société</strong>. 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 "</em></p><p>… <em>" Et puis sur le papier <strong>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</strong> ; il insuffle encore un passé vivant dans la dépouille inconsciente : mais en vérité que ferait un tyran de cet "<u>objet inerte</u>" : un cadavre " <br /></em></p><p>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.</p><p>In <em>Must we burn Sade </em>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 corresponds to the "Preliminaries" and opens with the travelers' observations in the waiting room at Orly Airport. Simone de Beauvoir draws a striking contrast between on the one hand those bound for Boston dressed impeccably—almost to the point of caricature—and on the other those modestly clothed preparing to depart for Moscow on an "official expedition." The philosopher takes notes on the Soviets Hungarians and Czechs at the Moscow airfield as well as on a South African also an official guest of the Chinese government with whom the couple converses. This travel account is enriched with glimpses of the landscape and reflections on the Western presence in Mongolia since the 17th century particularly that of scholars and monks.</p><p><em>" <strong>Comme Paris est loin ! Derrière moi le temps et l'espace se sont si bien embrouillés le système de nos besoins – faim soif sommeil – et de toute ma vie a été si radicalement lissé qu'il me semble non avoir fait un voyage mais terminé un rite de passage</strong> long fatigant et qui m'a jetée insensiblement ailleurs. J'écoute l'aimable discours qu'on nous adresse en chinois et qu'un interprète traduit. <strong>Les porteurs de hautes fleurs écarlates la moiteur de l'air la forte odeur végétale qui monte de la terre me suffoque</strong>. </em>… <strong><em>Jusqu'ici quand je pensais à la Chine je pensais à une histoire une civilisation un régime </em></strong>… <strong><em>mais la Chine n'est pas une entité politique ; je devine avec joie qu'elle a un ciel ses couleurs ses arbres une chair</em></strong><em> "</em></p><p>On 16 December 1956 she sent a second fragment paginated 476 and 486 bis. It corresponds to Chapter V "Culture."<br /><em>" <strong>Sous les Mandchous la décadence du monde féodal se réflète dans la littérature</strong> ; elle commença à s'évader des règles formelles ; des genres nouveaux se développèrent. Le roman devint autre chose qu'un divertissement</em> … <em>Le Rêve de la chambre rouge entre autres est caractéristique de cette période "</em></p><p>On December 18 1956 she sent a final fragment paginated 757 781 and 782. It corresponds to Chapter VIII "Cities of China."<br /><em>" Elle fut la capitale des Song dont le règne coïncida avec le plus beau moment de la civilisation chinoise et on la considère comme l'Athènes de la Chine.</em> … <em>Les maisons ne ressemblent pas à celles de Pékin. Au lieu de se cacher derrière des murs elles exhibent des façades de deux à trois étages garnies de fenêtres "</em></p><p>An official guest of the Chinese government alongside numerous other European intellectuals Simone de Beauvoir traveled to China with Jean-Paul Sartre from September 6 to October 6 1955. The following year in April 1957 the philosopher published her essay praising a country that had just completed its revolution. Speaking of her work she wrote:<br /><em>"This book is not a reportage: a reporter explores a stable present whose more or less contingent elements serve as keys to one another. In China today nothing is contingent; everything draws its meaning from the future they all share. The present is defined by the past it surpasses and the novelties it announces: it would be a distortion to regard it as static. </em><em>It is only one stage of this 'long march' that is peacefully leading China from democratic revolution to socialist revolution. It is therefore not enough to describe it: it must be explained. That is what I have tried to do."<br /></em>The manuscript itself has been lost; these fifteen leaves are the last surviving fragments of the work. The envelopes confirm unsurprisingly that she was working on it in 1956. Sylvie Le Bon de Beauvoir notes that the material belongs to an earlier version of the final text. Simone de Beauvoir removed almost all of the pages numbered 25 to 30 substantially reworking her "Preliminaries."</p><p><u>Provenance:</u><br />Estate of Berthe Mandinaud</p>
