«Les jeux sont faits» is the movie script by Jean-Paul Sartre, published by Gallimard in paperback (164 pages, in French).
Pierre and Ève die before they meet and, after death, are given the chance to love each other: if they succeed, they can return to life. Their story traverses the injustices and contradictions of society, with destiny, freedom and the human condition as a backdrop.
The book was originally published in 1947; this edition is part of Gallimard's Folio collection (no. 2805).
For readers of French literature and existentialism, and for students of French who want to read Sartre in his original language.
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism. His work has influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature despite attempting to refuse it, saying that he always declined official honors and that "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution."
