LES MOTS ~ Audio MP3 CD
*Please note this MP3 CD is entirely in French and includes no English language parts at all.
'The Words / Les Mots is Jean-Paul Sartre's's 1963 autobiography and this 5.5 hour mp3 CD includes a 10 minute interview with one of his relatives at the end.
'The text is divided into two near-equal parts entitled 'Reading' and 'Writing'. However, according to Phillippe Lejeune, these two parts are only a façade and are not relevant to the chronological progression of the work. He considers the text to instead be divided into five parts which he calls 'acts':
- The first act presents in chronological order the 'prehistory' of the child by giving his family origin.
- The second act evokes the different roles Sartre acted out in his seclusion to an imaginary world, enabled by his family.
- The third act tells of his conscious realization of his imposture, his contingency, his fear of death and his ugliness.
- The fourth act presents the development of a new imposture, in which Sartre took up multiple different postures of writing.
- The fifth act relates Sartre's delusion, which he considers the source of his dynamism, and contains the announcement of a second book which he did not complete before his death.
