Wonderful and Enlightening September 15, 2002

Although so aptly called 'No Way Out', this book does open doors for it's readers by keeping shut the door in the room which, for these three people, each from a different walk of life, is their hell.
As you read this play, many things appear to you, subtly said, and the wonderous comments it makes sink in even days after you have read it.
This book has encouraged me to expand my existentialist fiction reading even further, and has put forward fantastical possibilities and amazed me with its subtle wit and theories.
Enjoy!!
Excellent insight into the work. January 30, 2002

This book is one of the best I have ever read. Very easy to read, this short play is focused entirely on its fascinating characters, and explains - and convince you!- the very famous "Hell is other people". Shouldn't be missed.
A glorious exstension of sartres genius June 23, 2001

This book of plays makes an excellent and neccessary companion to Sartre's other works, such as Nausea and the Road to Freedom Trilogy. This works undoubtly mark Sartre as one of the most influential philosophers and human beings of the twentieth century.

le huis clos c' est un tres bon livre et vous conseille vivement a le lire.L 'auter traite des sujets tres interessants comme la faute de sincerite des gens quand ils n'ont pas beaucoup de pression sur eux.L'existentialisme est aussi present, mais je prefere de ne rien dire de plus et que vouz lisiez le livre.
