No Exit and Three Other Plays JeanPaul Sartre Stuart Gilbert Books

Sartre makes Existentialism come alive through these plays. The philosophical ideas are made understandable and one does not even have to know that this is an Existentialist work, in other words, the plays stand on their own as interesting and well written. I would have paid the full price just for the one play No Exit. Fantastic stuff - highly recommended.

No Exit and Three Other Plays JeanPaul Sartre Stuart Gilbert Books Reviews

I hadn’t read any of Sartre’s work before I bought this. While I have to admit at times wordy and boring the good parts are worth the linguistic pleasantries of 1940s Europe.
I definitely recommend this collection for any fan of existential theater. This collection of plays is not for the faint of heart as they require serious study and are contemplative in nature. Most will buy this for No Exit, but the other plays are just as fantastic.
It's funny how much the television show "The Good Place" was inspired by No Exit.
This book is an answer to a question many people have been avoiding all their lives. And when you finally develop the ability to ask it to yourself, Sartre provides his suggested answer for you, though it may not be the answer you wanted.

The premise of the main play, "No Exit", is that many people have chosen to exist in misery, even when the exit to that misery presents itself clearly. For these people, there is "no exit". Their existance is defined by their misery. If they make the concious decision to exit, then they have nothing to live for.

All four plays are written in non-pretentious and easy to understand styles, unlike many philisophical writings. They don't require a great deal of effort to read or understand. In fact, they are quite enjoyable and I found myself reading each play many times before moving on to the next one.

Don't expect to feel uplifted about the state of humanity while reading these plays, however. Sartre's message about human existance can be a dismal one. It is quite helpful, though, to come to terms with the fact that many of our fellow humans are just puzzled about their lives, and sharing a social existance with these people can be precarious to your own search for meaning.
Item arrived on time & as described. very pleased.
Classic plays by the French Existentialist. Rather similar to the superior collection, Caligula & 3 other plays, by Albert Camus.
A classic Sartre work, "No Exit", grouped with three other plays not previously known to me when I first picked up this book many years ago. "No Exit" remains one of my all-time favorites and often Sartre's definition of hell finds its way into my conversations and thoughts.

Any fan of mid-20th century existential brilliance will fall in love here. It's like Camus, without the social justice.
Sartre makes Existentialism come alive through these plays. The philosophical ideas are made understandable and one does not even have to know that this is an Existentialist work, in other words, the plays stand on their own as interesting and well written.
