123541Rare silver gelatin print of French philosopher novelist and playwright Jean-Paul Sartre. Inscribed by him in the upper left corner of the image "A M. Satoru Yamano sympatheque hommage Jean-Paul Sartre." In near fine condition. Matted and framed. The entire piece measures 14 inches by 11 inches. French philosopher novelist playwright political activist and literary critic Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism and phenomenology and one of the leading figures in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. The conflict between oppressive spiritually destructive conformity mauvaise foi literally 'bad faith' and an "authentic" way of "being" became the dominant theme of Sartre's early work a theme embodied in his principal philosophical work Being and Nothingness L'Etre et le Neant 1943. Sartre was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature despite attempting to refuse it saying that he always declined official honors and that "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution." unknown books

1948122197New York: New Directions 1948. Signed limited edition one of only 25 copies. Octavo original Japanese vellum spine over patterned boards top edge gilt. Translated by Lloyd Alexander. In near fine condition. Rare and desirable. One of Sartre's greatest existentialist works of fiction The Wall contains the only five short stories he ever wrote. Set during the Spanish Civil War the title story crystallizes the famous philosopher's existentialism. The Wall the lead story in this collection introduces three political prisoners on the night prior to their execution. Through the gaze of an impartial doctor-seemingly there for the men's solace-their mental descent is charted in exquisite often harrowing detail. And as the morning draws inexorably closer the men cross the psychological wall between life and death long before the first shot rings out. This brilliant snapshot of life in anguish is the perfect introduction to a collection of stories where the neurosis of the modern world is mirrored in the lives of the people that inhabit it .

1947122379London: Hamish Hamilton 1947. First edition of Sartre's classic novel. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with unnecessary enforcement to the rear. Jacket design by Michael Ayrton. Translated from the French by Eric Sutton. First editions are uncommon. The Age of Reason is concerned with Sartre's conception of freedom as the ultimate aim of human existence. The work seeks to illustrate the existentialist notion of ultimate freedom through presenting a detailed account of the characters' psychologies as they are forced to make significant decisions in their lives. As the novel progresses character narratives espouse Sartre's view of what it means to be free and how one operates within the framework of society with this philosophy. The novel is a fictional reprise of some of the main themes in his major philosophical study Being and Nothingness 1943. One of the notions is that ultimately a person's freedom is unassailable as it is fundamentally part of the nothingness that is the imagination and so cannot be taken away or destroyed.
