Description

Jean-Paul Sartre's childhood was shaped by the passing of time. Growing up in a world that felt decades behind its own era, he found solace in his imagination and a passion for reading and writing.

This memoir offers a unique glimpse into the formative years of one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers. Sartre reflects on his experiences growing up in French provincialism before the First World War, an idyllic yet illusion-ridden childhood that laid the foundations for his later philosophical work.

Words provides a profound background to Sartre's philosophy, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding this complex and thought-provoking thinker.
