Om Venice and Rome
A trio of short pieces on two cities of eternal magic, Venice and Rome. Iconic French novelist, playwright, and essayist Jean-Paul Sartre is widely recognized as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, and his work has remained relevant and thought-provoking through the decades. The Seagull Sartre Library now presents some of his most incisive philosophical, cultural, and literary critical essays in twelve newly designed and affordable editions. Â âVenice speaks to us; this false witnessâ¿s voice, shrill at times, whispering at others, broken by silences, is its voice.â? In these three moving short pieces, we discover Sartre as a master stylist, lyrically describing his time in two bewitching eternal citiesâ¿Venice and Rome. âAntiquity,â? Sartre writes, âis alive in Rome, with a hate-filled, magical life.â? Â
