Gide, André AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT OF AN ARTICLE ABOUT NATIONALISM AND THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR, TOGETHER WITH TWO AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED ("ANDRÉ GIDE") the working manuscript of the article titled "Il va sans dire...", including extensive deletions, alterations, and an inserted passage written on a separate 8vo leaf, written in black ink, in which Gide considers the way that Franco is using autocratic nationalist sentiment to make up for the fact that he does not command a majority, through repression and by getting the Moors to kill as many Spaniards as possible; Gide contrasts this with the many volunteers flocking to the republican cause, inspired by the glorious dawn of Russian Socialism, which they hope to spread to Spain ("...Et ces voluntiers ont conscience que cette grande aurore qui s'est levée glorieusement sur la Russie, qui commençait à poindre sur l'Espagne..."), 5 pages, mainly 4to (c.26.5 x 21cm), probably summer or autumn 1936; together with two autograph letters signed: one to Édouard Ducoté, informing him of his boat trip to visit him, "Jeudi matin", [1900]; the second probably to the composer Alfred Bachelet, about the article "Pas comme les autres", 8 March 1910
