In 1964, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences decided to award Sartre the Nobel Prize in Literature, but he refused to accept it.

Sartre, a famous French writer, philosopher and social activist, was the main representative of existentialist literature after World War II.

His major works include the short story "The Wall", the novel "Nausea" and the plays "The Fly" and "Confinement". The Wall represents the freedom of individuals in a world of absurdity who face death threats to engage in defiant choices. "Disgusting" is the literary crystallization of sartre's "absolute freedom theory". "The Fly" expresses the positive content of atheistic existential anthropology. There is also an important literary treatise, "What is Literature?" "Circumstances", "Family Idiot", etc.

"Confinement" is a masterpiece of existential drama, in which the protagonist's statement that "others are hell" has become a famous quote. Understanding this sentence is the key to grasping the work. The work presents the basic existential idea of the relationship between people, that is, modern people live in a relationship of loneliness, separation, mutual vigilance, and mutual tilting, thus introducing thinking about the ethical and freedom of human beings.
