About this book
"Jean-Paul Sartre views the works of this literary and philosophical giant as events in his personal and public life, and reveals the close contexts in which his philosophy developed. Andrew Leak shows how Sartre was transformed by certain contemporary events, particularly his experiences during World War II, and probes his relationships with a range of people - from Simone de Beauvoir to Gaston Gallimard. He offers a way of understanding the enigmas and seeming contradictions in Sartre's very public, and occasionally hazardous, commitments."--Jacket.
