Venice and Rome

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Iconic French novelist, playwright and essayist, Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) is widely recognised as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. His work has remained relevant and thought-provoking through the decades. The Seagull Sartre Library now presents some of his most incisive philosophical, cultural, and literary critical essays in twelve newly designed volumes.

Venice and Rome features three moving short pieces in which Sartre emerges as a master stylist, lyrically describing his time in two bewitching eternal cities—Venice and Rome. 'Venice speaks to us; this false witness' voice, shrill at times, whispering at others, broken by silences.'
