Sartre was a highly prolific writer and thinker, and delving into his novels, plays, stories, essays, and memoirs can be challenging. Most books on Sartre focus on only one sphere of his astounding intellect -- either his philosophical treatises or his forays into fiction. Enter \u003ci\u003eSartre Explained\u003c\/i\u003e, a comprehensive guide to Sartre's versatile work, as well as a valuable overview of his life and scholarly context.
