This new volume delivers a compact abridgment of the original by renowned Sartre scholar, Joseph Catalano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSartre claimed that his existential approach to psychoanalysis required a new Freud, and in his study of Gustave Flaubert, Sartre becomes that Freud. The work summarizes Sartre’s overarching aim to reveal that human life is a meaningful adventure of freedom. In discussing Flaubert’s work, particularly his classic novel \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e, Sartre unleashes a fierce critique of modernity as nihilistic and demeaning of human dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432906899692,"sku":"9780226822310","price":188.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226822310.jpg?v=1774766153","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-family-idiot-by-jean-paul-sartre-9780226822310","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
