What would it be like to be privy to the mind of one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers? John Gerassi had just this opportunity; as a child, his mother and father were very close friends with Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, and the couple became for him like surrogate parents. Authorized by Sartre to write his biography, Gerassi conducted a long series of interviews between 1970 and 1974, which he has now edited to produce this revelatory and breathtaking portrait of one of the world's most famous intellectuals. Through the interviews, with both their informalities and their tensions, Sartre's greater complexities emerge. In particular, we see Sartre wrestling with the apparent contradiction between his views on freedom and the influence of social conditions on our choices and actions. We also gain insight into his perspectives on the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the disintegration of colonialism. These conversations add an intimate dimension to Sartre's more abstract ideas. With remarkable rigor and intensity, they also provide a clear lens through which to view the major conflagrations of the past century.… (plus d'informations)

A transcript of interviews between John Gerassi and Sartre in 1970-74 covering a lot of different areas, but mainly Sartres life and political career, The Spanish Civil War, The Occupation of France, May 68 and the CP in the 50s as well as some of Srtres philosophy. Its a fascinating insight into how he grew into one of the most the influential 20th century thinkers, a lot on his early life, his musings on death, the meaning of fame, how society might be transformed, the political man, the human condition, plus odd facts like his considerable speed consumption during a period of at least a decade of writing, he certainly packed a lot in. Gerassi has a particular qualification in debating intimately with Sartre due to the formers friendship with his father (Fernando in Roads to Freedom). If you are interested in early 2oth C France, politics on paostwar Europe and existentalist thought - its an enjoyable and thought provoking insight into the man and his position in modern European thought and politics.
