Series: The French List

Iconic French novelist, playwright and essayist, Jean-Paul Sartre (19051980) is widely recognized as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, whose work has remained relevant and thought-provoking through the decades. The Seagull Sartre Library now presents some of his most incisive philosophical, cultural, and literary critical essays in twelve newly designed volumes.

Political Fictions includes Sartre's long foreword to Andr Gorz's The Traitor (1958), often called the most intimate and profound book to emerge from the existentialist movement. Sartre also presents a detailed portrait of his friend and fellow writer Paul Nizan (19051940), once a committed communist who died fighting the Nazis at the Battle of Dunkirk. Included here is Sartre's famous foreword to Nizan's novel The Conspiracy, which made the novel famous on its republication in the 1960s when it was adopted as an iconic text during the events of May '68.
