Iconic French novelist, playwright, and essayist Jean-Paul Sartre is widely recognised as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, and his work has remained relevant and thought-provoking through the decades. 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 'freedom,' 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.
