«Le Mur» is a collection of five short stories by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Gallimard in paperback (245 pages, in French).
The book brings together five narratives: «Le mur», «La chambre», «Érostrate», «Intimité» and «L’enfance d’un chef». Sartre portrays extreme situations, moral decisions and impossible escapes, with characters trapped between freedom, responsibility and the absurd, in settings ranging from the Spanish Civil War to everyday French life.
The work was originally published in 1939; this Gallimard edition dates from 1972 and corresponds to number 878 of the Folio collection.
For readers of twentieth-century French fiction and existentialism, interested in the author's short stories.
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."
