ABSTRACT
Sartre began his career as a novelist in 1938 with Nausea, and ended it with the third volume of the Roads to Freedom series (Sartre 1949a), as well as fragments of a fourth volume (posthumously published as The Last Chance; Sartre 1981a, 2009). In 1940, as a prisoner-of-war in Trier, Germany, Sartre wrote (and performed in) his first play, a Christmas mystery called Bariona, or the Son of Thunder (Sartre 1962b); he ended his playwriting career in 1965 with his adaptation of Euripides’s The Trojan Women.
