Wolny w Buchenwaldzie. Ślady Sartre’owskiej fenomenologii egzystencjalnej w „Wielkiej podróży” Jorge Semprúna
J.-P. Sartre’s Existential Ontology in J. Semprún’s The Long Voyage

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is a new reading of the most famous novel by theFrench-Spanish author Jorge Semprún entitled The Long Voyage in terms of the philosophicalconcepts contained in Jean-Paul Sartre’s Being and Nothingness. As I wouldlike to show, in his novel about the experience of deportation, Semprùn is inspired notonly – as has been pointed out many times – by Marxist ideology, but also by the ideas ofthe French existentialist which he critically combines and transforms. Drawing on theseideas, the author of The Long Voyage creates a multi-level autobiographical narrative aboutthe search for freedom and about authentic existence of a man whose life was markedby the experience of the war and his detention in a concentration camp.
