The Words (Les Mots) is Jean-Paul Sartre's celebrated autobiography of his childhood. In this witty and self-critical work, Sartre explores his early years, his obsession with books, and his eventual realization of the literary vocation as a substitute for religious faith.
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism. His work has influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature despite attempting to refuse it, saying that he always declined official honors and that "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution."
