An original look at the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre—told in cartoons
 
As graduates embark on the next phase of their lives, what better way to get them accustomed to the rat race they are about to enter than by introducing them to the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre? Cleverly told through the story of a pair of rats trapped in the labyrinth of existence, this allegory humorously conveys the key ideas of Sartre’s existential philosophy in graphic-novel form—accessible for students and readers of all ages.
In addition, two reputable Sartre scholars have contributed the introduction and afterword: Gary Cox, a British philosopher with a doctorate from the University of Birmingham, and Christine Daigle, professor of philosophy at Brock University in Canada.

“Designed for the studious and dabblers alike, this guide works as an accessible primer on one of the 20th century’s weightiest thinkers.” * Publishers Weekly *
“A great primer for anyone, but especially YA readers interested in existentialism.” * Library Journal *
