![]() It's the story of a young woman owning up to the lies she's fallen in love with, and figuring out if she can still recognize herself when she finally lets them go. In psychologically astute prose full of provocative insights and gem-like sentences, My Face in the Light is a moving exploration of truth in art and identity. ![]() As the contradictions and complications of leaving one's life behind swell to the point of crisis, Justine must confront the collateral damage of a traumatic past she has long repressed. She begins to toy with the idea of throwing away the life she is expected to want for the allure of something she can't quite grasp. After a disastrous audition in London, England, a chance encounter with a stranger leads to an unorthodox business proposition that would allow Justine to abandon Toronto indefinitely. An intuitive and uncanny mimic, distinguished by a pronounced scar across her forehead (the result of a childhood accident), Justine has made acting the centre of her life since she was a teenager, but lately her seemingly charmed off-stage life in Toronto has begun to ring false. Justine feels uneasy in her marriage, her theatre career and her relationship with her estranged mother, a famous painter. ![]()

In a new and more accessible translation, this foundational text argues that we alone create our values and our existence is characterized by freedom and the inescapability of choice. A brilliant and radical account of the human condition, Being and Nothingness explores what gives our lives significance. In 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre published his masterpiece, Being and Nothingness, and laid the foundation of his legacy as one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers. “This is a philosophy to be reckoned with, both for its own intrinsic power and as a profound symptom of our time” ( The New York Times). ![]() Revisit one of the most important pillars in modern philosophy with this new English translation-the first in more than 60 years-of Jean-Paul Sartre’s seminal treatise on existentialism. ![]() ![]() ![]() The catch?

A stinking damn kid in the wrong place at the wrong time. I call him a kid, but really, he wasn't any younger than I'd been when I'd piloted a Gundam in the war.
