Description

The Flies (Les Mouches) is a dramatic work by Jean-Paul Sartre that reinterprets the Greek myth of Orestes through an existentialist lens. Set in Argos, the play explores themes of guilt, freedom, and individual responsibility.

Through intense dialogue and symbolic imagery, Sartre presents the struggle of a protagonist who chooses moral independence over submission. Written during the German occupation of France, the play reflects subtle themes of resistance and self-determination.

This edition is well suited for students of philosophy and modern European drama.
