Features: This book profoundly portrays the diverse figures in the post-World War II French intellectual world, their confusion, exploration, and relentless pursuit. Here are writers who, despite hardships, remain steadfast in their belief in life; psychoanalysts who disdain fame yet are never truly content; and philosophers who are ambitious yet ultimately end in failure.
