Son dos obras de teatro estrenadas en Paris poco ante de la liberación de la Francia ocupada. En la puta respetuosa, Lizzie es la protagonista, ambientada en una ciudad sureña en E.E.U.U., en 1946.Por un lado, están los blancos, y por el otro los negros, las circunstancias obligan a Lizzie a tener que elegir entre dos hombres, la verdad salvaría al negro, mientras un testimonio falso salvaría al blanco, pero ciertos poderes ya decidieron cual debe ser su elección. A puerta cerrada, es una habitación en donde se encuentran Garcin, Inés y Estelle ,que son tres almas que tienen que convivir para toda la eternidad, cada cual, con su historia personal, una obra existencialista del gran autor francés. Estas dos obras teatrales, eran show more parte del típico libro de bolsillo que me compré, y contenía otra obra teatral: "Las manos sucias". show less
Obra de teatro existencialista creada por el filósofo Jean-Paul Sartre en 1944, originalmente publicada en francés bajo el título Huis Clos, que significa "A Puerta Cerrada".
La obra sólo presenta cuatro personajes (uno de los cuales, el Mayordomo, aparece por muy poco tiempo) y un sólo escenario.

Sartre is the dominant figure in post-war French intellectual life. A graduate of the prestigious Ecole Normale Superieure with an agregation in philosophy, Sartre has been a major figure on the literary and philosophical scenes since the late 1930s. Widely known as an atheistic proponent of existentialism, he emphasized the priority of existence show more over preconceived essences and the importance of human freedom. In his first and best novel, Nausea (1938), Sartre contrasted the fluidity of human consciousness with the apparent solidity of external reality and satirized the hypocrisies and pretensions of bourgeois idealism. Sartre's theater is also highly ideological, emphasizing the importance of personal freedom and the commitment of the individual to social and political goals. His first play, The Flies (1943), was produced during the German occupation, despite its underlying message of defiance. One of his most popular plays is the one-act No Exit (1944), in which the traditional theological concept of hell is redefined in existentialist terms. In Red Gloves (Les Mains Sales) (1948), Sartre examines the pragmatic implications of the individual involved in political action through the mechanism of the Communist party and a changing historical situation. His highly readable autobiography, The Words (1964), tells of his childhood in an idealistic bourgeois Protestant family and of his subsequent rejection of his upbringing. Sartre has also made significant contributions to literary criticism in his 10-volume Situations (1947--72) and in works on Baudelaire, Genet, and Flaubert. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and refused it, saying that he always declined official honors. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
