内容简介
《墙》所收的五篇中短篇小说提出了萨特存在主义哲学的一个基本命题:人是自由的,人的命运取决于自己的选择。五个故事分别将人物置于五种荒谬的,甚至是极限的处境,让他们在困境中自由选择,自由行动。作者一方面揭露这种种存在的荒谬性,同时让读者领会到,这完全是主人公自我选择的后果。他们也可以有其他的选择,不同的选择可能给他(或她)带来完全不同的生活和命运,因此人的命运其实掌握在他自己手中。人生充满各种可能,没有神灵事先作出安排,也没有人能代替他做出决定,他的命运是他自己选择的。显然,萨特认为一切取决于个人的意志,自由是绝对的。

Content introduction
The five novellas collected in The Wall put forward a basic proposition of Sartre's existentialism philosophy: man is free, and man's fate depends on his own choice. Each of the five stories puts the characters in five absurd and even extreme situations, allowing them to choose freely and act freely in difficult situations. The author exposes the absurdity of this existence while at the same time making the reader understand that it is entirely the result of the protagonist's own choice. They can also have other choices, different choices may bring him (or her) a completely different life and destiny, so the fate of the person is actually in his own hands. Life is full of possibilities, no God has made arrangements in advance, and no one can make decisions for him, his fate is his own choice. Obviously, Sartre believed that everything depended on the will of the individual and that freedom was absolute.
