The Age of Reason

by Jean-Paul Sartre
The Age of Reason
The Age of Reason

Philosophical journey through existential freedom.

Diving into Sartre's "The Age of Reason" feels like an exploration of our deepest desires for freedom amidst life's constraints. As you follow Mathieu through Paris, you grapple with the weighty concepts of existentialism, illustrated not through abstract theory but through visceral, human experiences. If you've ever questioned what freedom means to you, this book will resonate and challenge, forcing introspection that often only literature of this caliber can inspire.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

'How are you?' said Mathieu. 'I thought you were dead.' Following a Parisian philosophy teacher through the cafés and bars of Montparnasse over two days in the sweltering summer of 1938, Sartre's searing novel explores what it truly means to be free.
