No Exit and Three Other Plays

by Jean-Paul Sartre

Hell is other people — plus three more plays exploring freedom, guilt, and complicity.

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER • Four seminal plays by one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. An existential portrayal of Hell in Sartre's best-known play, as well as three other brilliant, thought-provoking works: the reworking of the Electra-Orestes story, the conflict of a young intellectual torn between theory and conflict, and an arresting attack on American racism.
