The Wall', the lead story in this collection, introduces three political prisoners on the night prior to their execution. Through the gaze of an impartial doctor-seemingly there for the men's solace-their mental descent is charted in exquisite, often harrowing detail. And as the morning draws inexorably closer, the men cross the psychological wall between life and death, long before the first shot rings out. This brilliant snapshot of life in ...

Born into a book-loving family, Jean-Paul Sartre had a childhood which might be described as one long love affair with the printed word. This famous autobiography of Sartre's first ten years has been widely compared to Rousseau's CONFESSIONS. Written at age 59, THE WORDS is a masterpiece of self-analysis, exploring and evaluating the whole use of books and language in human experience.

The Condemned of Altona is an act of judgment on the twentieth century, which might have been an admirable era (the closing lines tell us) if man had not been threatened by 'the cruel enemy who had sworn to destroy him, that hairless, evil, flesh-eating beast-man himself. 'All the characters in the play are defendants, trapped inside the frame of the proscenium as securely as Eichmann within his glass cage in Jerusalem, their judge is the past...

In a probing philosophical exploration of the act of literary creation, Sartre asks: "What is writing?, " "Why write?, " and "For whom does one write?" After discussing existentialism as it pertains to art, human emotions, and psychology, French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre turns the question of existentialism to the subject of literature by stating that he wishes to "examine the art of writing without prejudice." Sartre esch...

Pensare l'arte come museo immaginario delle opere più amate e frequentate da Jean-Paul Sartre: dagli americani Hare e Calder, agli artisti da lui scoperti, come Wols, fino a Giacometti, Masson, Lapoujade e Rebeyrolle, ai quali era legato da profonda amicizia. Testimoni di questi rapporti restano i saggi raccolti nel presente volume, che offrono materiale indispensabile per ripercorrere le riflessioni di Sartre sull'arte figurativa, dai Mobiles...

Résumé  L'existentialisme n'est pas autre chose qu'un effort pour tirer toutes les conséquences d'une position athée cohérente. Elle ne cherche pas du tout à plonger l'homme dans le désespoir. Mais si l'on appelle, comme les chrétiens, désespoir toute attitude d'incroyance, elle part du désespoir originel. L'existentialisme n'est pas tellement un athéisme au sens où il s'épuiserait à démontrer que Dieu n'existe pas. Il déclare plutôt : même ...

Part of a series of studies of contemporary philosophers, this volume focuses on Jean-Paul Sartre.

Sartre's study of Baudelaire is one of the more brilliant achievements of modern criticism. We may often disagree with his interpretations of the poet's personality, but we cannot fail to wonder at the mastery with which he presents his case. It is the case, quite patently, of an Existentialist who wishes to psychoanalyze a paramount literary figure in terms of his own beliefs. Perhaps Sartre's greatest contribution to Existentialism has been ...

Still a monument of postwar writing on anti-Semitism....Michael Walzer's fine introduction will help current readers sift out what remains relevant form Sartre's work for considering the variants of antisemitism haunting the world today.' Elisabeth Young-Bruehl

As the shadows of the Second World War draw closer -- even as his personal life is complicated by his mistress's pregnancy -- his search for a way to remain free becomes more and more intense.

Carefully structured into sections, the essays range across Sartre's reflections on collaboration, resistance and liberation in post-war Europe, his thoughts...

Critical Essays (Situations I) contains essays on literature and philosophy from a highly formative period of French philosopher and leading existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre's life, the years between 1938 and 1946. This period is particularly interesting because it is before Sartre published the magnum opus that would solidify his name as a philosopher, Being and Nothingness. Instead, during this time Sartre was emerging as one of France's most...
