This seminal philosophical novel, The Age Of Reason, chronicles the intellectual and emotional turmoil of Mathieu Delarue, a philosophy professor navigating the complexities of pre-World War II Paris. Sartre masterfully presents Delarue's struggle with personal freedom and the weight of his choices, particularly as he confronts an unexpected pregnancy and the societal expectations that accompany it. The narrative powerfully illustrates the core tenets of existentialism, arguing that individuals are condemned to be free, constantly defining themselves through their actions and decisions. Readers will find a profound and introspective examination of human autonomy, commitment, and the often-uncomfortable realities of self-determination. This work stands as a cornerstone of 20th-century literature, offering a compelling look into the anxieties and liberation inherent in absolute freedom.
