Iconic French novelist, playwright and essayist, Jean-Paul Sartre (19051980) is widely recognized as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, whose work has remained relevant and thought-provoking through the decades. The Seagull Sartre Library now presents some of his most incisive philosophical, cultural, and literary critical essays in twelve newly designed volumes.

Post-War Reflections collects eight of Sartre's essays written in his most creative period, just after the Second World War. Sartre's extraordinary range of engagement is manifest, with writings on post-war America, the social impact of war in Europe, contemporary philosophy, race, and avant-garde art.
