The Reprieve by Jean-Paul Sartre

Sartre does WWII—not with tanks and battles, but with paranoia, denial, and late-night philosophizing. The Reprieve is the second volume in his Roads to Freedom trilogy, covering the tense days of the Munich Conference in 1938, when Europe was collectively holding its breath and pretending war wasn’t about to break out. This Penguin paperback edition comes wrapped in Picasso artwork and 1970s paperback vibes—a heady mix of existential dread and vintage design. 📦 Item Details Edition: Penguin paperback (UK edition) Cover art: Picasso’s Peace (panel for the Temple of Peace, Vallauris, 1958) Not for sale in the USA (Commonwealth market edition).
