The Reprieve is the second novel in Jean-Paul Sartre's Roads to Freedom trilogy, set in September 1938, during a week of mounting tension as Europe anticipates the Munich Agreement and the potential outbreak of war. The novel explores the reactions of numerous characters — from soldiers to civilians, intellectuals to the working class — to the looming threat of war. Sartre uses a panoramic narrative, shifting between locations and characters to paint a picture of a continent on edge, grappling with fear, uncertainty, and the weight of historical events.
