Philosopher, novelist, playwright and polemicist, Jean-Paul Sartre is thought to have been the central figure in post-war European culture and political thinking. His most well-known works, all of which are published by Penguin, include THE AGE OF REASON, NAUSEA and IRON IN THE SOUL.
In his biographical introduction, Geoffrey Wall describes the 'dishevelled abundance' of Sartre's work and this new anthology certainly does justice to the range of his interests. Many of the pieces appear here in English for the first time. Divided into five sections - 'Cities', 'Sexualities', 'Revolutions', 'Modern Times', 'Portraits' - the book features pieces on subjects from Baudelaire through maternal love and Havana to the Liberation of Paris.
