Book Description: Seagull Books London Ltd, 2010. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 201 x 163 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Set in Malaya during the British protectorate, Sartre's "Typhus" centers on the improbable couple formed by the disgraced former doctor Georges, who has sunk to the lowest depths of a highly stratified colonial society, and Nellie, a down-at-heel nightclub singer, whose partner succumbs to the typhus epidemic sweeping the country. Though it does not shy from the explosive issues of colonialism and race that are implicit in its setting, "Typhus" is both a turbulent love story in the best traditions of Western popular cinema and an existentialist tale of moral redemption that shares many fascinating parallels with Albert Camus' novel The Plague. Jean-Paul Sartre penned the screenplay "Typhus" in 1943-44 on a commission for French filmmakers Pathe, who were planning a postwar production. However, the film was never made, though Yves Allegret's 1953 film "The Proud Ones" retains some distant echoes of Sartre's original script. The script was lost for nearly sixty years before being rediscovered and published in French in 2007. This first English publication will be essential for fans of Sartre and twentieth-century French literature and postwar film. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9781906497422
