Description: Broadly dividing the fiction of Sartre, Camus and Beauvoir into three periods - pre-World War II, wartime, and post-war - the book shows how the moral perspectives of the authors, as illustrated in their fiction alone, changed and developed during their careers, focusing primarily on the 'existentialist' outlook that they shared.
