About this Item

Wrappers. Covers somewhat faded. Edition limited to 500 numbered copies, this copy with the (Humphrey Stone) bookplate of Anthony Hobson (mild offsetting). "Huis Clos ('Secret Session') was first performed as a play in Paris at the Vieux-Colombier Theatre in 1944, and had an immediate success. In this triangular drama Sartre's philosophical training is brought to bear on personal relations and the result is a piece which holds the logic, anguish and bleak satisfaction of a difficult chess end-game whose conclusion is a perpetual check" (publisher's blurb).
