Context: The Age of Reason (French: "L'âge de raison" ) is a 1945 novel by Jean-Paul Sartre.  It is the first part of the trilogy "The Roads to Freedom".  The novel, set in the bohemian Paris of the late 1930s, focuses on three days in the life of a philosophy teacher named Mathieu who is seeking money to pay for an abortion for his mistress, Marcelle.

Laurens van Kuik (1889, 's Gravenmoer, Netherlands – 1963, Den Haag) was a teacher before he, in 1911, fascinated by the arts, started working as an autodidact painter.  In 1913, he became so enthralled and driven as artist that he became a teacher at the school in North Brabant, and went to live in Rotterdam.  In 1917, he became one of the founders of the Rotterdam-based artistic movement known as "De Branding".  Other members included Herman Bieling, Ger ladage (aka Gerwhl), Bernard Toon Gits, Jan Sirks and Wim Schmacher.  Van Kuik's early works are to some extent influenced by cubism, tribal art, but also theosophy and anthroposophy. Saint Genet, Actor and Martyr (French: "Saint Genet, comédien et martyr" ) is a book by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre about the writer Jean Genet especially on his "The Thief's Journal".  It was first published in 1952.  Sartre described it as an attempt "to prove that genius is not a gift but the way out that one invents in desperate cases."  Sartre also based his character Goetz in his play "The Devil and the Good Lord" (1951) on his analysis of Genet's psychology and morality.  Sartre has been credited by David M. Halperin with providing, "a brilliant, subtle, and thoroughgoing study of the unique subjectivity and gender positioning of gay men". La sombra de Heidegger (English: The Shadow of Heidegger) is a 2005 thriller written by the Argentine philosopher José Pablo Feinmann.  It depicts an exiled Nazi professor called Dieter Müller who writes a letter to his son, in which he describes the philosophy of Martin Heidegger as the spiritual guidance of the Nazi Party.  Besides, "La sombra de Heidegger" has some elements that would enable it to be included in the category of historical novel.  Although there are fictional characters, most of the people involved in the novel are public—and often controversial—figures, such as Adolf Hitler, Ernst Röhm, Jean-Paul Sartre and so on.The novel also covers topics of Argentine political life.  More than once Müller satirizes the situation of peronism in Argentina. Nausea (French: "La Nausée" ) is a philosophical novel by the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, published in 1938.

"Nervous Conditions" is the first of a proposed trilogy, with "The Book of Not" published in 2006 as the second novel in the series.  The novel attempts to illustrate the dynamic themes of race, colonialism, and gender during the post-colonial conditions of present-day Zimbabwe.  The title is taken from the introduction by Jean-Paul Sartre to Frantz Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth". Born in humble circumstances, he was an autodidact scholar who learnt to speak French by frequenting Slaughter's Coffee House.  He had enough acquaintance with Alexander Pope that he could dedicate to him in 1734 his translation of Charles Porée's "Oration".  His inoffensive character procured for him the name of the ‘Lamb.’  but when ‘Hesiod’ Cooke abused his poetry, Lockman retorted, ‘It may be so; but, thank God!  my name is not at full length in the “Dunciad. ”’ The Autodidact is a fictional character from Jean-Paul Sartre's 1938 novel, "Nausea."  The Autodidact, who lives in Bouville near the protagonist Antoine Roquentin, passes his time by reading every book in the local library in alphabetical order.  Self instruction is of critical importance to him, and provides the explanation for his odd behaviour and continual self-delusion.
