Existentialism and Excess: The Life and Times of Jean-Paul Sartre by Gary Cox
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 2.6 MB
Overview: Jean-Paul Sartre is an undisputed giant of twentieth-century philosophy. His intellectual writings popularizing existentialism combined with his creative and artistic flair have made him a legend of French thought. His tumultuous personal life – so inextricably bound up with his philosophical thinking – is a fascinating tale of love and lust, drug abuse, high profile fallings-out and political and cultural rebellion.
This substantial and meticulously researched biography is accessible, fast-paced, often amusing and at times deeply moving. Existentialism and Excess covers all the main events of Sartre’s remarkable seventy-five-year life from his early years as a precocious brat devouring his grandfather’s library, through his time as a brilliant student in Paris, his wilderness years as a provincial teacher-writer experimenting with mescaline, his World War II adventures as a POW and member of the resistance, his post-war politicization, his immense amphetamine fueled feats of writing productivity, his harem of women, his many travels and his final decline into blindness and old age.
