Features: As the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947, Sartre's ideas influenced three generations in the West, becoming an indispensable reference for the souls of Westerners who painfully pursue sincerity and freedom under the oppression of reality. This book collects Sartre's trilogy of novels—The Transgressor, The Gates of Paradise, and Symphony of a Life—which can be seen as his journey in pursuit of the joy and happiness of life. Sartre loved joy but preferred change. In The Transgressor, he plays the role of indulgence; in The Gates of Paradise and Symphony of a Life, he successively plays the role of restraint. However, within indulgence there is restraint, and within restraint there is indulgence, each becoming complex and living characters. This is precisely the charm and vitality of Sartre's works.
