This is Sartre's masterly portrait of life seen from new and revealing angles. Here the human soul is stripped of its civilized veneer, and layers of experience are peeled back with ferocious skill - to reveal the depths of the private opressions, sensualities and neuroses of our time and the overpowering evil to which modern man can descend.
«Sartre is a writer of undeniably exceptional gifts: on the one hand, a fluid inventor who can always make somethin happen, and, on the other, a serious student of life, with a great deal of public spirit»
Edmund Wilson
