Dead without burial. The devil and the Lord God. Sartre J.-P.

“Dead without burial” (1946) - Sartre’s piercing play about the times of the German occupation of France. The Second World War: Francois, Sorbier, Canoris, Henri and Lucy - resistance members who failed the task and fell into the hands of the Germans. They are kept in the attic, in handcuffs, and one at a time is taken down for interrogation. These five find themselves face to face with death; It is precisely that they all feel in front of imminent death - despair, humility, hatred of enemies and traitors, hope and thirst for living - is the main subject of attention of the writer.

“The Devil and the Lord God” (1951) - the play of Sartre, the action of which takes place in the neutralized peasant war of Germany of the 16th century. However, historical events for the author are just a background on which the eternal issues of being come out more clearly: that there is good and evil and what is the freedom of the human personality.
