He used his considerable periods of spare time, between mundane duties like watching weather balloons, to make a series of notes on philosophy, literature, politics, history and autobiography that anticipate the themes of his later masterpieces, and often surpass them in literary verve and directness. These \u003ci\u003eWar Diaries\u003c\/i\u003e form a portrait of Sartre in his most intense and brilliant phase. With them the twentieth century’s most remarkable and public philosopher has provided us with a fitting posthumous monument to his honest and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jean-paul-sartre-books\"\u003eJean-Paul Sartre\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781844677849\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £8.08","offer_id":47917675479217,"sku":"SB-1844677842-C4","price":8.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1844677842.jpg?v=1789709615","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/war-diaries-notebooks-from-a-phony-war-1939-40-notebooks-from-a-phoney-war-1939-40-radical-thinkers-set-06","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
