The title piece tells the story of a prisoner during the Spanish Civil War, on the eve of his execution by a firing squad, who is told he will be spared if he can betray the whereabouts of a fellow Republican. This leads him to question his cause and his loyalty, as the mental torment that he and two other inmates endure unfolds in unflinching detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection, which also includes 'The Bedoom', 'Herostratus' and 'Intimacy' – short psychological tales in which individuals grapple with questions of madness, sexuality and death – as well as 'The Childhood of a Leader', the extended chronicle of a young man's emotional deterioration and embrace of Fascism, provides a fascinating and accessible introduction to the author who would become the figurehead of Existentialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Paul Sartre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46959827910710,"sku":"824","price":1040.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/diamond-pub.com\/ar\/products\/the-wall","provider":"Diamond Pub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
