The Age of Reason by Jean-Paul SartreMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Context & Why I read this book
I rarely consume novels these days. In order to change that and since 2021 is my year of "ratio and will" I thought I might give Sartre's "Age of Reason" a read.
What is the book about as a whole?
This book is about a philosophy teacher roaming around Paris in 1938 and according to its own book cover explores what it "truly means to be free".
The book's structure
18 chapters across nearly 400 pages.
One lesson
Since this was a novel I didn't really set out for any lesson, but what stroke me is, that it was a very difficult read for me. I am not a native English speaker and The Age of Reason was written close to 80 years ago. I thought I was an adept reader of the English language but this proofed me otherwise...
Reading Recommendation / Who should read this?
Can't really give this a recommendation. Rated it a 2 out of 10 (⭑) on my personal scale since I skipped some part of it and didn't read it completely. Maybe I am not ready yet for this...
