(Don't they?) With these four plays, the great Sartre demonstrates--sometimes masterfully and other times less so--the limits of Ideals, the roles of conventions, the blinders of conceptual designs to remind us that we are free--we are prisoners of imagination, if we must be prisoners at all, but we can decide to be free mentally at any moment. Yes, it's quite Western, romantic, secular, and abstract; this book is a remnant of a bygone era; etc. But it dares to tell the reader she or he is powerful, and mostly succeeds, which is remarkable on its own, and an empowering message regardless of era. My favorite play was No Exit, followed by The Flies, The Respectful Prostitute, and lastly Dirty Hands, which I found too pedantic and loquacious as a story/play yet philosophically piquant, especially about party politics of the Left. The other three plays were well crafted and mesmerizing; I didn't feel I was being brow-beaten by an Existentialist but invited to reflect on human nature's machinations to auto-correct/direct--they were enlightening. Dirty Hands, however, seemed a thoughtful polemic dressed as a play--not the most overt ever (Waiting for Lefty) but overt enough to wonder about the footnotes that were missing to this essay written as a play. (Was this Sartre's answer to Plato?) Great book! I'd read it again, mostly; I'd recommend it, definitely. In our time, a little Sartre can be the realignment we all need. Review: Fantastic Plays! - Sartre makes Existentialism come alive through these plays. The philosophical ideas are made understandable and one does not even have to know that this is an Existentialist work, in other words, the plays stand on their own as interesting and well written. I would have paid the full price just for the one play No Exit. Fantastic stuff - highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #19,150 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in French Dramas & Plays #6 in French Literature (Books) #10 in Existentialist Philosophy | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (839) | | Dimensions | 5.2 x 0.6 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 0679725164 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0679725169 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 275 pages | | Publication date | October 23, 1989 | | Publisher | Vintage | ## Images ![No Exit and Three Other Plays (Vintage International) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h7o7745FL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great work of literature that dares the reader to change *by E***Z on April 11, 2017* Too many times principles in life are overstated and oversold, as if infallible or as if principles absolutely design the essence of civilization.

Fantastic stuff - highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent read! *by A***R on January 17, 2011* I bought this book because I was assigned to read "The Flies" for a class, but after reading that play I had to read more. I have not had time to read "Dirty Hands" yet due to time, but will as soon as I get a chance. The other plays in this book were all excellent, enjoyable reading, but by no means mindless. They all make strong points and have deeper meaning and more undertones than most modern reading material. ## Frequently Bought Together - No Exit and Three Other Plays - Existentialism Is a Humanism - Nausea (New Directions Paperbook) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/315944-no-exit-and-three-other-plays-vintage-international](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/315944-no-exit-and-three-other-plays-vintage-international) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
