Description
Set against the volatile Paris summer of 1938, Jean-Paul Sartre's The Age of Reason is a philosophical novel that explores existentialist notions of freedom.
In this first volume of his Roads to Freedom trilogy, Sartre follows two days in the life of Mathieu Delarue, a philosophy teacher struggling to balance sex and personal freedom with the urgent need to raise money for an abortion. As tensions rise, the threat of war looms in the background.
A deeply philosophical novel that explores the human condition, The Age of Reason is a thought-provoking read from one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.
