Features: Jean-Paul Sartre was described as one of the most renowned French people of the 20th century after de Gaulle. From 1945, the end of World War II, to 1980, the year of Sartre's death, he was not only celebrated in French literature but also one of the world's most famous philosophers. Sartre explains the core views of Sartre's existentialist worldview, particularly his theory of freedom. The book highlights the relationship between the universal prerequisites in Sartre's philosophy and his Marxist views, his support for world liberation movements, and his unusual childhood. This series carefully selects ten representative great figures from modern and contemporary times, including Charles Darwin, the founder of the theory of biological evolution; Albert Einstein, the father of the theory of relativity; Stephen Hawking, a representative of the theory of the universe and space-time; Jean-Paul Sartre, the synthesizer of existentialist philosophy; Jacques Lacan, the new authority in psychoanalysis; John Maynard Keynes, a pioneer of the theory of national capitalism; Pablo Picasso, a master of Cubist painting; and James Joyce, a giant of stream-of-consciousness literature. Truly a constellation of stars. Publishing this series is beneficial for popularizing natural and social sciences, improving people's quality, and aligns with the mission of FLTRP (Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press) to "record human civilization and bridge world cultures." Therefore, it can be seen as a gift from FLTRP to the millennium. The greatest feature and advantage of this series lie in its accessibility and rich illustrations. In today's world, where television and film dominate as the dominant media, the era of visual culture and the prevalence of the attention economy may have arrived. The illustrated format of this series is, in a sense, a product that meets the needs of the times. We hope that the vivid, interesting, and humorous illustrations paired with easy-to-understand authentic English, faithful Chinese translations, and concise annotations will greatly enhance readers' interest in learning English and ultimately strengthen the confidence of Chinese people in mastering this international communication tool in the era of globalization.
