literature & existentialism

The book is in good condition for its age. The cover shows some wear, particularly along the edges and spine, consistent with a trade paperback from 1962. There is no dust jacket, as expected for this format. The pages are clean, with no inscriptions or library markings, making it a well-preserved copy for collectors and readers interested in existentialist philosophy.

"Literature & Existentialism" by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by The Citadel Press in New York, is a key work by one of the leading figures of existentialist philosophy. This edition, first published in paperbound format in July 1962, presents Sartre's exploration of the intersection between literature and existentialist thought. Originally copyrighted in 1949 by Philosophical Library, this edition captures Sartre's profound insights into how literature can express existentialist themes. Sartre, a seminal philosopher and writer, examines the role of the writer and the impact of literature on society. This particular edition is notable for its translation by Bernard Frechtman, making Sartre's complex ideas accessible to an English-speaking audience. The book is a trade paperback, reflecting its 1962 release, and is an essential addition for collectors of existentialist literature. The condition is good, with some wear typical of a book of this age.
