Richard Wright moved to Paris in 1946 with his wife and a daughter four years. Others he met Gertrude Stein, Andre Gide, Simone de Beav, Leopold Senghor and Aime Cesaire. Help Senghor, Cesaire and Alioune Diop in the founding of the journal Presence Africaine. Back in the U.S. only briefly. Then he went to Paris and was friends with a permanent expatriate American existentialists such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus while walking through aexistentialist stage in his second novel, The Outsider (1953), an American character, with the participation of the Communist Party of New York describes. Recognized as the first American existential novel, warned that the Black man wakes up in a society in ruins, was not ready to receive it.

Wright traveled to Europe, Asia and Africa, experiences that have led many non-fiction books such as Black Power (1954), a commentary on emerging countries in Africa.

In1949 Wright contributed to anti-communist anthology The God That Failed his essay was published and was in the Atlantic Monthly three years earlier, derived from unpublished Boy Black. This has led to an invitation to engage more with the Congress for Cultural Freedom refuses to suspect that it links with the CIA, FBI, Wright was under surveillance by the 1943rd

In 1955 he visited Indonesia in Bandung 'sConference and drew his observations, found in his book "The Color Curtain: A Report on the Bandung conference. Wright was optimistic about the immense possibilities of this meeting and the Alliance Between Resulting Recently oppressed, but now independent states, the so-called countries non-aligned was ..

Other works include White Man Listen! (1957), and another novel, The Long Dream (1958) and a collection of short stories, eight men appeared only after hisThe death in 1961.

His works primarily deal with poverty, anger and protests of American blacks in the north and south of the city.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative critique of his agent, Paul Reynolds, four hundred pages of his "Island of Hallucination manuscript," in February 1959, Wright outlined in the month of March, the third novel, the fish was finally released from his condition and its race would become a dominant character.

From May 1959, Wright designed adesire to leave Paris to live in London, he felt for the French policy had always been submissive to American pressure, and the peaceful atmosphere of Paris, had once enjoyed was fighting and attacks instigated by enemies of the expatriate writers blacks are been shaken.

On June 26, 1959, after a party marking the publication of the French White Man, Listen, Wright was ill, following a severe attack of amoebic dysentery, which had probably contracted during his stay inGhana. It was so bad that even if lodged in November 1959 Ellen apartment in London, he decided, "do not want to give up living in England. This decision, which has also shortened its trouble along with the British immigration authorities.

On February 19, 1960 Reynolds Wright learned that the New York premiere was given the stage version of The Long assessments such evil that the adapter, Kette Frings had decided to close with replicas Dream. Meanwhile, Wright was in operationmore problems trying to get published in France Long Dream. These setbacks prevented his finishing revisions to the "Island of Hallucination", that he needed to get a commitment Doubleday.

In June 1960, Wright has recorded a series of interviews for French radio deal mainly with his books and literary career, but also of race in the United States and the world, especially for the termination of U.S. policy in Africa.

The end of September, to coverAdditional expenses incurred by the movement of the daughter of Julia from London to Paris, the Sorbonne, wrote Wright Blurbs record jackets Nicole Barclay, director of the largest record company in Paris.

Despite his being in financial difficulty Wright refused to compromise his principles. He refused to participate in a series of programs for the Canadian broadcasting, because he suspects the American control programs, and he rejected the proposal of the Congress for Cultural Freedomthat goes to India at a conference in memory of Leo Tolstoy for the same reason.

Still interested in literature, Wright has offered to help Kyle Onstott get Mandingo (1957) published in France. Her last show of explosive energy was carried out November 8, 1960 in his lecture titled polemic "The situation of artists and intellectuals in the United States blacks, students and members of the American Church in Paris delivered. Wright argued that the American society is reducedMilitant members of the black community, slaves if they wanted to question racial status quo. He offered as proof of attack by communist subversives against Native Son and searched the topics, authors James Baldwin and others with him.

On November 26, 1960 Wright spoke enthusiastically of Daddy Goodness with Langston Hughes and gave him the manuscript. Since Wright's contract amoebic dysentery, his health was unstable, despite the various treatments. His healthworsening over the next three years until his death in Paris of a heart attack at age 52.and was buried in Pere-Lachaise Cemetery. Submissions were made that he was murdered.

Wright was fascinated with Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, written more than 4,000. In 1998 a book was published ("Haiku This other world", and 817 of the most advanced.

After his death, Wright left behind an unfinished book reads like a father. looking at a black police officerand son, whom he suspected of murder. Obviously influenced by James Joyce's Ulysses, is a day in the life of Jake Jackson, a violent man in Chicago who does not have much hope in his room in half. Wright had completed the manuscript of 1934 entitled, Septic, after having repeatedly rejected by publishers before Native Son was published. of Wright's daughter, Julia published in January 2008. had his travel writings, edited by Virginia Whatley Smith, appeared in 2001, published byMississippi University Press.

Some of the more candid passages dealing with race, sex and politics in Wright's books had been cut or omitted before original publication. But in 1991, the unexpurgated version of Native Son, Black Boy, and his other works were published. In addition, an unpublished short story is published rite of passage, in 1994.

Wright's books published in 1950, some critics disappointed when they felt it had to be moved to Europe from itsrooted social, emotional and psychological.

During 1970 and 1980, increasing interest is shown in Richard Wright. Written with endless streams of critical essays on his desk in prestigious journals, conferences, published about him in the universities, a new film version of Native Son, with a screenplay by Richard Wesley in December 1986 and in selected novels always read Wright required in a growing number of international universities and colleges.

RecentlyCritics have called for a reassessment of Wright's later work in terms of philosophical orientation. Paul Gilroy, for example, argued that "the depth of his philosophical interests have been ignored or misused by the almost exclusively literary investigations that have dominated the analysis of his letter. His main contribution, however, is his desire to paint with precisely the blacks to white readers, so that the destruction of the myth of the white patient, funny,submissive black men during some of his work is weak and ineffective, in particular, to be completed within the last three years of his life for his best work to attract readers. His three masterpieces Uncle Tom's Children, Native Son and Black Boy is a coronation for him and for American literature.

This accumulation of prolific literary works was well prepared when a young man living in Memphis, Tennessee, Wright began an intensive period of lectures in which hebecame familiar with a variety of authors, contemporary authors many of them American. From this period of his life, wrote: Reading was like a drug, a madman. The novels created moods where I lived for several days
