Christian Brückner reads Jean-Paul Sartre's “The Words”

A clever and self-critical examination of childhood, literature and the development of a writer. With keen observational skills and philosophical clarity, Sartre looks at the power of language and the illusions of storytelling. Brückner's reading makes this modern classic a personal and timeless reflection.

An event by Literatur Live in cooperation with the Renaissance Theatre.

When Christian Brückner reads, a special space of attention is created. His unmistakable voice, which has brought us to figures of world literature and film for decades, now guides us through the books of his life. In this reading series, Brückner opens up his personal archive — texts that have become important to him and whose impact he would like to pass on.

An evening with Christian Brückner is more than a reading: it is a conversation about the continued existence of literary voices, about the power of storytelling and about the lasting importance of good literature.
