Happy birthday to Jean-Paul Sartre, born on this day (July 21) in 1905! He was a French philosopher, novelist, political activist, and existentialist. He enjoyed writing stories since the age of eight. He gave up novel writing around the age forty-four, but still wrote plays and essays. No Exit is a well-known existentialist play about three people who are trapped in Hell. After No Exit was performed in Paris, he decided to quit his teaching job and become a full time author and playwright.(images from: Cranston’s Jean-Paul Sartre at http://bit.ly/2ujbeo9, Sartre’s No Exit at http://bit.ly/2gQIoIC, and Bauer’s Sartre and the Artist at http://bit.ly/2uQRZ8E) -- source link
