    In these four plays, Sartre, the great existentialist novelist and philosopher, displays his mastery of drama. No Exit is an unforgettable portrayal of hell. The Flies is a modern reworking of the Electra-Orestes story. Dirty Hands is about a young intellectual torn between theory and praxis. The Respectful Prostitute is a scathing attack on American racism. Translations by Stuart Gilbert and Lionel Abel.
    Philosopher, novelist, playwright, and polemicist, Jean-Paul Sartre is thought to have been the central figure in post-war European culture and political thinking. He is the author of The Age of Reason, The Words, and the play No Exit among other works. View titles by Jean-Paul Sartre
    ALBERT CAMUS was born in Algeria in 1913. He spent the early years of his life in North Africa, where he became a journalist. During World War II, he was one of the leading writers of the French Resistance and an editor of Combat, an underground newspaper he helped found. His fiction, including The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall, and Exile and the Kingdom; his philosophical essays The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel and his plays The Just Assassins, The Misunderstanding, and Caligula have assured his preeminent position in modern literature and philosophy. In 1957, Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. On January 4, 1960, he was killed in a car accident. View titles by Albert Camus
