Conversaciones Con Sartre (Spanish, Paperback)

Carried out in complete confidence by a close friend of Jean-Paul Sartre who was authorized to write his biography, these interviews allow readers entry into one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century. In this revealing and impressive portrait, readers can witness some of Sartre's greatest complexities, especially his inner struggle with the apparent contradiction between his point of view on freedom and the influence of social conditions on decision-making. Additionally, the philosopher elaborates on his thoughts regarding the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the disintegration of colonialism. But the conversations also become personal, and Sartre discusses his conjugal life with Simone de Beauvoir, with whom he maintained an open relationship, as well as his use of amphetamines. Collected and edited with notable rigor and intensity, these conversations are a fascinating document about one of the most charismatic and polemic representatives of the figure of the committed intellectual who succeeded in piercing the minds of many people eager to change society with his thoughts.
