The Last Chance

"The English speaking world has had to wait nearly thirty years before obtaining access to Jean-Paul Sartre's The Last Chance: Roads of Freedom IV. Therefore, Craig Vasey's faithful translation represents an important contribution to a better and more complete understanding of Sartre's fictional world. It will also help English speakers to situate more clearly his literary production in the context of his complete writings and illuminate the directions in which Sartre attempted to find solutions for his tortured protagonists to the vexing problems of freedom, friendship and fate in a bewildering universe dominated by vicious and hostile ideologies." - Adrian van den Hoven, University of Windsor, Canada
