L'età Della Ragione by Jean Paul Sartre
Mathieu Delarue, a Parisian philosophy teacher on the eve of World War II, grapples with the meaning of freedom as he confronts conscription and a personal crisis when his partner becomes pregnant; torn between desire, responsibility and political uncertainty, he repeatedly fails to act decisively and is forced to face his own self-deception. The novel examines in intimate, often ironic detail how social pressures and inner contradictions limit authentic choice, exploring existential themes of responsibility, bad faith and the heavy moral consequences of action under the shadow of impending war.
