Lejeune and Sartre. Autobiography in perspective.

Abstract

Philippe Lejeune used one of Jean-Paul Sartre's greatest masterpieces, Les
Mots, to illustrate his Autobiographical Pact. The prototype of this kind of
writing, that of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, was not enough to found and build a
new genre, it was still necessary to read other works on the story of life to root
the "I" and the "I" as a type of writing and at the same time a literary genre. For
Lejeune, Sartre has succeeded in successfully marrying the imaginary and the
real.
