DESCRIPTION:
Fantastic Plays! Dead Head Sartre makes Existentialism come alive through these plays. The philosophical ideas are made understandable and one does not even have to know that this is an Existentialist work, in other words, the plays stand on their own as interesting and well written. I would have paid the full price just for the one play No Exit. Fantastic stuff - highly recommended.. "If there is a hell, this may well be exactly how it is" according to Mister Culverlake. A classic Sartre work, "No Exit", grouped with three other plays not previously known to me when I first picked up this book many years ago. "No Exit" remains one of my all-time favorites and often Sartre's definition of hell finds its way into my conversations and thoughts.Any fan of mid-20th century existential brilliance will fall in love here. It's like Camus, without the social justice.. Iconic Modern Theatre Navarre Always amazing! Rereading is a new pleasure and reawaken appreciation for Sartre's genius.
Four seminal plays by one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. An existential portrayal of Hell in Sartre's best-known play, as well as three other brilliant, thought-provoking works: the reworking of the Electra-Orestes story, the conflict of a young intellectual torn between theory and conflict, and an arresting attack on American racism.
