Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the most important philosophical and
political thinkers of the twentieth century. His writings had a potency
that was irresistible to the intellectual scene that swept post-war
Europe, and have left a vital inheritance to contemporary thought. The
central tenet of the Existentialist movement which he helped to found,
whereby God is replaced by an ethical self, proved hugely attractive to a
generation that had seen the horrors of Nazism, and provoked a
revolution in post-war thought and literature.
In What is
Literature? Sartre the novelist and Sartre the philosopher combine to
address the phenomenon of literature, exploring why we read, and why we
write.
