This new volume delivers a compact abridgment of the original by renowned Sartre scholar, Joseph Catalano.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Sartre claimed that his existential approach to psychoanalysis required a new Freud, and in his study of Gustave Flaubert, Sartre becomes that Freud. The work summarizes Sartre’s overarching aim to reveal that human life is a meaningful adventure of freedom. In discussing Flaubert’s work, particularly his classic novel \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e, Sartre unleashes a fierce critique of modernity as nihilistic and demeaning of human dignity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41608331755617,"sku":"9780226822310","price":101.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780226822310-family-idiot-gustave-flaubert-1821-1857","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
