This book has just about everything – sex, philosophy, politics and the world’s most unconventional love story. It’s enormously rich and utterly absorbing according to the critics – a penetrating look into the famous couple who changed their century.
We witness Bouvoir and Sartre with their inner circle, holding court in Paris cafés. We hearall manner of scandal and anguished discussions, including that which led Sartre’s refusal of the Nobel prize and listen in on the couple as they comment on each other’s great works. A delightful gift for the cultured literary buff!
