Jean-Paul Sartre, The Family Idiot: Gustave Flaubert, 1821-1857, Volume 1, translated from the French by Carol Cosman (Chicago & London: U. of Chicago Press, 1981) ("The Family Idiot is the sequel to Search for a Method. Its subject: what, at this point in time, can we know about a man? It seemed to me that this question could only be answered by studying a specific case. What do we know, for example, about Gustave Flaubert?" Id. at ix.).
Jean-Paul Sartre, The Family Idiot: Gustave Flaubert, 1821-1857, Volume 2, translated from the French by Carol Cosman (Chicago & London: U. of Chicago Press, 1987) (Julian Barnes, writing in the London Review of Books, sums of the book well. From the back cover: 'This book is mad, of course. Admirable but mad--to abduct Sartre's own phrase about Villiers de l'Isle-Adam. A work of elucidation couched in a lazily dense style; a biography seemingly concerned with eternals but in fact spun from inside the biographer like a spider's thread, a critical study which exceeds in wordage all the major works of its subject put together . . . 'On narrate pas Voltaire, de Gaulle said of Sartre in 1968; and perhaps those down at Gallimard imagined they heard a pun. One does not arrest Voltaire . . . and you can't stop him either.").

Jean-Paul Sartre, Search for a Method, translated from the French and with an introduction by Hazel E. Barnes (New York: Knopf, 1963) (From the book jacket: "How might a man cultivate his individual freedom and at the same time contribute usefully to the society in which he finds himself? How might a man of given temper orient himself with his world regardless of its character? How might a man find personal meaning in his social function, and draw from his environment an affirmation of his private values?" All good questions for twenty-first-century, digital-aged, men and women.).
