Paul Nizan

Author of "Chiens de garde" and "d'Aden Arabie", Paul Nizan (1905-1940) left an indelible work mark as a polemicist and novelist. Companion of Sartre, he was at the center of a generation of Marxist intellectuals lesser known, such as Georges Politzer Georges Friedman, Norbert Guterman and Henri Lefebvre. This work plungines into his private life as well as into the many networks Nizan occupied throughout the 20s and 30s. This book tells the excitement of a bold and restless generation, faced with the dilemma between revolution and totalitarianism. Demanding communist philosopher, writer engaged in social struggles, Nizan is one of the most lucid journalists of his time. With the themes of intelligence, anger and a quest for justice, Nizan speak to the world today.
