(Conat 51/205)A numbered copy (132) of the 410 copies printed on "vélin pur fil Navarre".The play "tells the true story of Cristbal de Lugo, a brutal thug and rotten citizen who was nevertheless pure in spirit and decided to become a monk after he had won at cards because he had sworn that if he lost he would become a highway robber." (Conat, p. 247). According to Simone de Beauvoir: "The contrast between Orestes departure at the end of THE FLIES and Goetz'e final stance illustrates the distance Sartre had covered between his original anarchistic attitude and his present commitment… In 1944, Sartre thought that any situation could be transcended by subjective effort; in 1951, he knew that circumstances can sometimes steal our transcendence from us; in that case, no individual salvation is possible, only a collective struggle." (Conat, p. 249) Original printed wraps with original glassine wrapper. A fine copy. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
