Erinnerungen aus dem Jahre 1848: Ich will meine Erinnerungen aus dem Revolutionsjahr 48 niederschreiben. Da tritt denn gleich von vornherein ein bedenklicher Unstern scheinbar hindernd entgegen. Ich habe an jenen Begebenheiten durchaus keinen Anteil genommen. Nicht allein, dass ich den Vorbereitungen und dem Ausbruch fremd blieb, eine mit meiner innersten Natur verbundene Empfindung hinderte mich sogar, den einzelnen Ereignissen Schritt für Schritt zu folgen.

Jean-Paul Sartre is one of the undisputed giants of 20th-century philosophy. His intellectual writings popularizing existentialism, combined with his creative and artistic flair, have made him a legend of French thought. His tumultuous personal life - so inextricably bound up with his philosophical thinking - is a fascinating tale of love and lust, drug abuse, high-profile fallings-out and political and cultural rebellion.

Life with Picasso, written with Carlton Lake, is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man. We hear him talking about painting and sculpture, his life, his career, as well as other artists, both contemporaries and old masters. We glimpse Picasso in his many and volatile moods, dismissing his work, exultant over his work, entertaining his various superstitions, being an anxious father. But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career.

In this deeply personal book, the celebrated Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat reflects on art and exile. Inspired by Albert Camus and adapted from her own lectures for Princeton University’s Toni Morrison Lecture Series, here Danticat tells stories of artists who create despite (or because of) the horrors that drove them from their homelands. Combining memoir and essay, these moving and eloquent pieces examine what it means to be an artist from a country in crisis.
