Sartre and Flaubert

Hazel E. Barnes

3.5/5 ( ratings)

In Sartre and Flaubert, Hazel E. Barnes, the great American popularizer of French existentialism, explores The Family Idiot, the book that consumed the last ten years of Jean-Paul Sartre's life.

As he slowly went blind, Sartre set off to write what he called a "true novel": a biography of Gustave Flaubert that would incorporate modern social science, including psychology, anthropology, and economics.

Ms. Barnes's study provides a quick preview of all five volumes of the notoriously difficult work. It also gives, for the first time anywhere, an account of Sartre's notes for the final, unwritten volume.

Format: Hardcover
