In Sartre's hands it became a revolt against European bourgeois values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSartre in 90 Minutes\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Sartre's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world.
