Troubled Sleep

A Novel

Look inside
The third novel of Sartre's Roads to Freedom series, Troubled Sleep powerfully depicts the fall of France in 1940, and the anguished feelings of a group of Frenchmen, whose war apathy gives way to a consciousness of the dignity of individual resistance--to the German occupation and to fate in general--and solidarity with other people similarly oppressed. Translated from the French by Gerard Hopkins.
Philosopher, novelist, playwright, and polemicist, Jean-Paul Sartre is thought to have been the central figure in post-war European culture and political thinking. He is the author of The Age of Reason, The Words, and the play No Exit among other works. View titles by Jean-Paul Sartre
