Existentialism and excess : the life and times of Jean-Paul Sartre
Cox, Gary, 1964-2016
Books
Jean-Paul Sartre is an undisputed giant of 20th-century philosophy. His intellectual writings popularising existentialism combined with his creative and artistic flair have made him a legend of French thought. His tumultuous personal life - so inextricably bound up with his philosophical thinking - is a fascinating tale of love and lust, drug abuse, high profile fallings-out and political and cultural rebellion. This substantial and meticulously researched biography is accessible, fast-paced, often amusing and at times deeply moving.
