Books by Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) was a French philosopher, novelist, and playwright who became the defining figure of French existentialism. His major philosophical works include Being and Nothingness and Critique of Dialectical Reason; his literary works include the novel Nausea and the play No Exit. He declined the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, citing his refusal to be institutionalized by any establishment. His lifelong intellectual partnership with Simone de Beauvoir produced one of the most discussed intellectual relationships of the 20th century.
