Troubled Sleep - Paperback

by Jean-Paul Sartre (Author)

Front Jacket

Powerfully depicts the fall of France in 1940, and the anguished response of the French people to the German occupation. Translated from the French by Gerard Hopkins.

Back Jacket

The third novel of Sartre's monumental Roads to Freedom series, Troubled Sleep powerfully depicts the fall of France in 1940, and the anguished feelings of a group of Frenchmen, whose prewar 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.
