Jean-Paul Sartre is the author of possibly the most notorious one-liner of twentieth-century philosophy: Hell is other people. Albert Camus was The Outsider. The two men first came together in Occupied Paris in the middle of the Second World War & quickly became friends comrades & mutual admirers. But the intellectual honeymoon was short-lived. In 1943 with Nazis patrolling the streets Sartre & Camus sat in a cafe on the boulevard Saint-Germain with Simone de Beauvoir & began a discussion about life & love & literature that would finally tear them apart. They ended up on opposite sides in a war of words over just about everything: women philosophy politics. Their friendship culminated in a bitter & very public feud that was described as the end of a love-affair but which never really finished. Sartre was a boxer & a drug-addict; Camus was a goalkeeper who subscribed to a degree-zero approach to style & ecstasy. Sartre obsessed with his own ugliness took up the challenge of accumulating women; Camus part-Bogart part-Samurai was also a self-confessed Don Juan who aspired to chastity. Sartre & Camus play out an epic struggle between the symbolic & the savage. But what if the friction between these two unique individuals is also the source of our own inevitable conflicts? Martin reconstructs the intense & antagonistic relationship that was (in Sartres terms) doomed to failure. Weaving together the lives & ideas & writings of Albert Camus & Jean-Paul Sartre he relives the existential drama that binds them together & remixes a philosophical dialogue that speaks to us now. ...

No one is more qualified to answer the time-honoured question who was the greatest fighter? than Bert Randolph Sugar. In Boxings Greatest Fighters" the former editor of " The Ring" magazine not only tells us who the greatest fighters are but tells us the order of their greatness. Could Sugar Ray Robinson have beaten Sonny Liston? The answer most experts agree would be no.

The answers are very different. & while some fans may express outrage that Rocky Marciano is not in the top 10 & Marvelous Marvin Hagler is barely in the top 50 others will nod sagely when they read why Sugar selects Henry Armstrong & Willie Pep as better than just about anybody else.
