    thinking man's read

    a well written story of mathieu and his parisian circle of friends. mathieu an apolitical philosophy teacher tries to procure an abortion for his mistress, while in the process attempts, in vain, to retain his 'freedom'. finally mathieu realises, through his failures, that he has reached his age of reason

    a brilliant melding of philosophy and first class fiction. outstanding.

    A Parisian professor has a pregnant mistress to consider while balancing an infatuation with a student and his search for autonomy. A fascinating read that delves into the existential psyche while delivering a fantastic read. Obviously penned by French ontologist Sartre, this is a requirement for anyone interested in philosophy.
