About this product

Product Information

'Sartre is a stern moralist who teaches above all things the need to be responsible and mature' - Maurice Cranston. During the German occupation Sartre wrote 'the secret of a man is...the limit of his own freedom; his capacity for standing up to torture and death'. These three plays explore the limits and possibilities of the self-knowledge to be gained in extreme situations. Victims of cruelty and oppression, like the Resistance writers in Men Without Shadows , may respond heroically, and murder can be an act of liberating courage, as it is for Orestes in The Flies . The lack of self-knowledge, however, results in devastating consequences, as Franz in Altona retreats into self-imprisonment and madness rather than face the outcome of his guilt. This title includes Altona , Men Without Shadows , and The Flies .
