Louis ARAGON (1897-1982). Autograph manuscript, signed at head, Aragon vous parle: D'un manque à gagner, [1960]; 4pages in-4, and 1 page and a quarter dactyl. (pag. 3-4), with erasures and corrections. Article for France Nouvelle, weekly of the French Communist Party, published April 6, 1960. Aragon begins by talking about the welcome given to President Khrushchev during his trip to France. He mentions the publication of Les Désarrois de l'élève Törless by Robert Musil, "that Austrian writer who will perhaps one day be considered one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century", which evokes "the typical youth of those who were to become the perverse masters of Europe. And in doing so, he reminds us of Jean-Paul Sartre's Naissance d'un chef, which, published on the eve of 1939, remains, beyond the critics, one of the most striking reflections of our time". He won't talk about "a film that reveals a new, almost incomparable talent, [...] Breathless, by Jean-Luc Godard: because it bores me to have to say that the world doesn't revolve around a young murderer and a girl who gives him to the police; and yet that's how it is, even if this black spring remains spring all the same". But Aragon devotes the bulk of his article to Galina Nicolaeva's novel The Engineer Bakhirev, which every Communist should read, "because it shows, perhaps for the first time, not only the evil, its origins and its remedies, as designated by the XXth Congress, but more generally the mechanism by which the action of a Communist party can be perverted, diverted from its ends". It should be read "when the radical, daring, red-hot correction of the errors of the crimes which may have multiplied under the flag of socialism, is precisely today the characteristic of the victory of socialism"...
