A godsend in this era of the short attention span.

The New York Times - Daryl Royster Alexander

Well-written, clear and informed, they have a breezy wit about them...I find them hard to stop reading.

The New York Times - Richard Bernstein

Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise.

The Wall Street Journal - Jim Holt

Each of these little books is witty and dramatic and creates a sense of time, place, and character...I cannot think of a better way to introduce oneself and one's friends to Western civilization.

Wall Street Journal

Neither a biography nor a systematic explication of the views of the famous twentieth-century French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, this production is an attempt to combine the two. And given the length of the program, the life and the philosophy of this iconoclastic thinker necessarily receive somewhat cursory treatment. British-born Robert Whitfield does a fine job with the material, speaking in a practiced, authoritative tone. He brings the right level of expression to the reading and handles the frequent French terms and names with aplomb. Some of the biggest ideas in modern philosophy are introduced, but listeners without much background in the subject may find the going a bit mysterious. M.G. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
