Description
A window onto one of the most consequential friendships in philosophical history, that of Sartre and Camusâ?"and on its end. Iconic French novelist, playwright, and essayist Jean-Paul Sartre is widely recognized as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, and his 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 and affordable editions. A Sartre met Albert Camus in Occupied France in 1943, and from the start, they were an odd pair: one from the upper reaches of French society; the other, a pied-noir born into poverty in Algeria. The love of â?ofreedom,â?? however, quickly bound them in friendship, while their fight for justice united them politically. But in 1951 the two writers fell out spectacularly over their literary and political views, their split a media sensation in France. This volume holds up a remarkable mirror to that fraught relationship. It features an early review by Sartre of Camusâ?Ts The Stranger; his famous 1952 letter to Camus that begins, â?oOur friendship was not easy, but I shall miss itâ??; and a moving homage written after Camusâ?Ts sudden death in 1960.
