Publisher: The University of Chicago Press
From 1981 to 1994, the University of Chicago Press published a comprehensive five-volume translation of Jean-Paul Sartre's monumental work, The Family Idiot: Gustave Flaubert, 1821-1857. This remarkable translation is the result of the dedicated efforts of renowned Sartre scholar Joseph Catalano. In this new volume, Catalano offers a concise yet comprehensive abridgment of the original, providing readers with a valuable insight into Sartre's profound analysis of Gustave Flaubert.
Sartre believed that his existential approach to psychoanalysis necessitated the emergence of a new Freud, and in his study of Gustave Flaubert, Sartre himself becomes that Freud. This work serves as a summation of Sartre's overarching objective, which was to unveil the inherent meaning and freedom that characterize human existence. Through his examination of Flaubert's work, particularly his iconic novel Madame Bovary, Sartre unleashes a scathing critique of modernity, portraying it as a nihilistic and demeaning force that undermines human dignity.
Catalano's translation is a testament to his scholarly expertise and dedication to preserving Sartre's intellectual legacy. His meticulous attention to detail and clear interpretation of Sartre's ideas make this volume an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in exploring the depths of human consciousness and the complexities of the human condition.
