Summary
Annie Cohen Solal: Sartre 1905 - 1980
Never did Jean Paul Sartre mention his father, Jean Baptiste, more than on one page, and in passing. Jean Paul Sartre never told how his father was a student at a polytechnic school. He never stated the facts that he was aware of: that his father - a brilliant man, double high school graduate, three times winner of the competition for the best high school students in France, son of a wealthy family - decided very early on to uproot his roots, cut the anchor lines and go on an adventure, very far from the small town where he was born. How many common points are there between Jean Baptiste and Jean Paul!
