Description

Sartre's appraisal of Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu

Superb autograph manuscript by Jean-Paul Sartre, unsigned, in French, penned in blue ink on an 8.25 x 10.5 sheet of graphing paper, no date. Sartre's untranslated evaluation of several major French authors of the 18th century, including Montesquieu, whom he labels as an "autocrat," Voltaire as "bourgeois," and Jean-Jacques Rousseau as "petit bourgeois." In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip impression to the upper left corner.
