Representaion Toward Books Les jeux sont faits
- Il m'a empoisonnée ?- Eh oui, madame.
- Mais pourquoi ? pourquoi ?
- Vous le gêniez, répond la vieille dame. Il a eu votre dot. Maintenant il lui faut celle de votre sœur.
Ève joint les mains dans un geste d'impuissance et murmure, accablée :
- Et Lucette est amoureuse de lui !
La vieille dame prend alors une mine de circonstance :
- Toutes mes condoléances... Mais voulez-vous me donner une signature ?
Machinalement, Ève se lève, se penche sur le registre et signe.
- Parfait, conclut la vieille dame. Vous voilà morte officiellement.
Ève hésite, puis s'informe :
- Mais où faut-il que j'aille ?
- Où vous voudrez. Les morts sont libres.

Hope dies last... or doesn't die at all... ... as evidenced by the fact that I started to read a novel by SARTRE and found myself hoping for a happier end than the sad, murderous beginning (I was going to exclaim: "What was I thinking?" only to realise that the answer must be: "Not that much!"). Hoping for Sartre to give me hope is the most hopelessly optimistic thing I can do, I guess. So of course I will be disappointed. Sartre, after all, never disappoints in that respect.

Read as part of my French book club. It was a great read for helping to learn the language. I really enjoyed the style of writing and the story line. It was light hearted in places, but still serious enough to keep me interested.
It gave me the feeling that the characters were somewhat confused, somehow eccentric in the way they portrayed this story. Anything has failed me in this work of Sartre, yet I give him the benefit of the doubt. In my humble opinion, I think that Sartre is more accustomed to other works of philosophical inclination a little more embracing. Quite remote from the very typical Sartrien works.
I'm proud to say that I read this book in French. I'd like to reread it again soon. But from what I remember, this was a pretty good book, at least as far as Sartre goes. There's actually a love story buried somewhere within it! Of course it's buried underneath the usual existential rhetoric: free will, consequences, personal responsibility over our actions, blah blah blah, but it's still there!Iif I had to choose one Sartre book to read, it would be this one, if only for the redeeming story of
My French teacher was pretty rubbish at actually teaching us French, but I will never forget the couple of weeks we spent with her reading us this story and us scrambling along with the dictionary to keep up because it was so captivating. It's never really let me go since and every once in a while I poke at my French copy of it and scramble along with the dictionary as much now as I did back then. This is the first time I've read a translation of it, and oddly it didn't feel as if I actually
This is the second book Ive read of the same author. It has two protagonists which a death would occur to them. One by her husband the other by his rival related to the political reunions. It reflexes the life after death, what would it be like. Without any religious incoming opinions, from such a pure idea. Death was there told as a thing that you would lost yourself, your last self, when you cant see your reflex in the mirror. No certain explanation about your existence. A death which they
