Being And Nothingness
Jean-Paul Sartre, Hazel E. Barnes

Washington Square Press, 1993

I liked being, I skipped nothingness.
This book is really a propaganda piece whose primary objective was to rouse French people to resist German occupiers. Published under enemy censorship, it reads between the lines as an appeal to French guilt about not facing up to their responsibilities. Sartre ...
  
  











  



  
The Wretched of the Earth
Frantz Fanon

Grove Press, 2005

Understand the Psychology of Violent Revolt
This was required reading for a graduate course in the Humanities. Frantz Fanon (July 20, 1925 - December 6, 1961) was a Martinique-born French author and essayist. He was perhaps the preeminent thinker of the 20th century on the issue of decolonization and the ...
  
  











  



  
The Wall: And Other Stories (New Directions Paperbook)
Jean-Paul Sartre

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1969

A Mesmorizing Journey. Extreme Psychological Insight
"The Wall and other short stories" is a triumph in literature. Each story explores the depths of human thought and reason through an existential point of view. Each story can be interpreted different by all readers, therefore making this a great book for discussion. ...
  
  











  



  
No Exit and Three Other Plays
Jean-Paul Sartre

Vintage, 1989

"Hell is other people".......
Estelle, Inez and Garcin expected to face all manner of torture in hell, but never expected hell to be a regular room, where these three extremely different people are bound together for eternity. During the time in which the characters explore the possibility of ...
  
  











  



  
The Age of Reason: A Novel
Jean-Paul Sartre

Vintage, 1992

An Uneducated Opinion
I feel out of my league reading the thoughtful and well-informed reviews provided for this novel, but still desire to add my own thoughts. I read this first when I was 18, and I do not purport to have any great knowledge of the philosophy of Sartre. It is several years ...
  
  











  



  
Huis Clos, suivi de Les Mouches (Folio) (French Edition)
Jean-Paul Sartre

Distribooks, 1964

intellectual and great
I am french, and Huis Clos is one of the most importants books i read when i was a teenager, looking for truth about adult behavior... It's really intellectual, but not artificial, and makes you think a lot about what is going on between people, and what you learned ...
  
  











  



  
Nausea
Jean-Paul Sartre

New Directions, 2007

The poetry of obsessive uselessness
Sartre's "Nausea" is a gripping, twitchy little novella confirming the ways one person of unpleasant station can make them self sick , nervous, an odious presence by lingering long on the ambivalent shrug .No one else could write a better tale of an intensely ...
  
  











  



  
Existentialism And Human Emotions (A Philosophical Library Book)
Jean-Paul Sartre

Citadel, 2000

Brilliant
Sartre takes atheism to its logical conclusions. He starts with the assumption that there is no God and deduces a proper philosophy based on that one starting assumption. From that point of view, this book is a wonderful argument for theism via reductio ad absurdum. ...
  
  











  



  
Existentialism Is a Humanism
Jean Paul Sartre

Yale University Press, 2007

Excellent
Although this is not exactly an introduction to the theory of Existentialism, it is certainly a much more accessible account of it than Sartre's "Being and Nothingness." Sartre addresses the numerous detractors of Existentialism who posit that the theory is essentially ...
  
  











  



  
The Words
Jean-Paul Sartre

Vintage, 1981

Words about words
Sartre's world and life are dense with words. His books are dense with words. He is the kind of writer who seems to crowd the page with more and more words, so many words that words sometimes lose their meaning. But not all the time, and not in all of Sartre's work. ...
  
  











  



  
Les Jeux Sont Faits (Fiction, Poetry & Drama) (French Edition)
Jean-Paul Sartre

Gallimard, 1990

I loved this book
I was amazed by this book, I don't care too much for most existentialist fiction, but I was riveted by this novel. As I read, I became engrossed by the characters, and was on the edge of my seat waiting for what would happen to them. The message that one must commit ...
  
  











  



  
Jean-Paul Sartre: Basic Writings
Jean-Paul Sartre

Routledge, 2001

an excellent selection
As far as collections of Sartre's philosophical works go, this one is the best I've come across. The book is broken down into sections such as "Existentialism", "The Other", "Nothingness", "Politics", and so on. 16 chapters in all, each offering key excerpts from ...
  
  











  



  
Tarkovsky

Black Dog Publishing, 2008

The Immortal Tarkovsky
This is a must have for the Tarkovskyphile. Splendid, decent-sized stills from the films, most not seen before, a selection of his dad's nostalgic poetry, and plenty of recollections from collaborators, followers, admirers, and analysts for mental fodder. It's big, ...
  
  











  



  
The Question
Henri Alleg

Bison Books, 2006

Beautifully Written, Brutally Honest
The Question is, without doubt, the single best argument against torture under any circumstances. It is a brutally true and personal account of a man caught up under the circumstances beyond his control during the Algerian War of Independence. It was a time when the ...
  
  











  



  
Essays In Existentialism
Jean-Paul Sartre

Citadel, 2000

Skip the Tintoretto
Rather than tackle Being & Nothingness (B&N) straightaway, the curious reader interested in exploring Sartre may find this volume a good introduction and preparation before deciding to take on B&N. In fact the first section of this book is actually taken from B&N. The ...
