No Exit and Three Other Plays

The book is sooo good! I am amazed and in love with these plays. Its a must read!

Great book.

Liked The Flies in particular and the idea of owning up our own lives is inspirational.

I'm sure I would've liked this book if I actually got it. I got a copy of Abdul Kalam's biography instead, which might have been a reasonable consolation prize- if the whole thing wasn't written in Tamil. I've been waiting on someone to pick it up for the last week or so, and I've gotten no confirmation whatsoever about whether it's actually going to be refunded or not. Based on the amount of effort it's taken just to schedule a pick up time, I honestly believe they have no intention of coming to get it back. If you have 400 rupees to blow on a book you can't read, this might be the product for you. If you like to pay to get tricked by a megacorporation while you scream desperately at the sky to a god you once believed was benevolent, this is definitely the product for you.

The quality of the book is extremely poor. The pages are torn and the colour the pages is faded which makes it very hard to read.

The media could not be loaded.  Good play, lovely smell, 😊😊😊 , good print page quality, value for money

NYC pdt good dlvrry

As advertised, timely delivery, good shape

Brilliant work from a brilliant man. I may not agree with his political views, but I can certainly see the connection between hell and other people.

Too many times principles in life are overstated and oversold, as if infallible or as if principles absolutely design the essence of civilization. (Don't they?) With these four plays, the great Sartre demonstrates--sometimes masterfully and other times less so--the limits of Ideals, the roles of conventions, the blinders of conceptual designs to remind us that we are free--we are prisoners of imagination, if we must be prisoners at all, but we can decide to be free mentally at any moment. Yes, it's quite Western, romantic, secular, and abstract; this book is a remnant of a bygone era; etc. But it dares to tell the reader she or he is powerful, and mostly succeeds, which is remarkable on its own, and an empowering message regardless of era.My favorite play was No Exit, followed by The Flies, The Respectful Prostitute, and lastly Dirty Hands, which I found too pedantic and loquacious as a story/play yet philosophically piquant, especially about party politics of the Left. The other three plays were well crafted and mesmerizing; I didn't feel I was being brow-beaten by an Existentialist but invited to reflect on human nature's machinations to auto-correct/direct--they were enlightening. Dirty Hands, however, seemed a thoughtful polemic dressed as a play--not the most overt ever (Waiting for Lefty) but overt enough to wonder about the footnotes that were missing to this essay written as a play. (Was this Sartre's answer to Plato?)Great book! I'd read it again, mostly; I'd recommend it, definitely. In our time, a little Sartre can be the realignment we all need.

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.

Finally I read the play that quote came from.The content here is not Sartre's best but it's good enough to justify the purchase.
