“What sort of adventures?' I asked him, astonished. ‘All sorts, Monsieur. Getting on the wrong train. Stopping in an unknown city.

Jean‑Paul Sartre (1905–1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, and political activist best known for developing the existentialist movement. His works such as *Being and Nothingness* and the play *No Exit* explore themes of freedom, responsibility, and the human condition. Sartre was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, which he declined.
