La Nouvelle Revue Française , N° 286 -01/07/1937-184 pages- SARTRE, Jean Paul. “Le Mur”.
The first appearance of the famous short story, “Le Mur” (“The Wall”), which explores the Sartrean existential human condition: anguish, abandonment, and despair. Pablo, a political prisoner facing execution, is confronted with the inauthenticity of most human choices as he is confronted by the question of meaning for himself. A classic short story of existentialism, commonly read by most undergraduate students.
