About This Item
U.S.A.: Harper, 2005. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Couverture Rigide, Texte Francais. État D'usage: Très Bon Etat. They Are One Of The World's Legendary Couples. We Can't Think Of One Without Thinking Of The Other. Simone De Beauvoir And Jean-Paul Sartre -- Those Passionate, Freethinking Existentialist Philosopher-Writers -- Had A Committed But Notoriously Open Union That Generated No End Of Controversy. With Tête-A-Tête, Distinguished Biographer Hazel Rowley Offers The First Dual Portrait Of These Two Colossal Figures And Their Intense, Often Embattled Relationship. Through Original Interviews And Access To New Primary Sources, Rowley Portrays Them Up Close, In Their Most Intimate Moments. We Witness Beauvoir And Sartre With Their Circle, Holding Court In Paris Cafés. We Learn The Details Of Their Infamous Romantic Entanglements With The Young Olga Kosakiewicz And Others; Of Their Efforts To Protest The Wars In Algeria And Vietnam; And Of Beauvoir's Tempestuous Love Affair With Nelson Algren. We Follow Along On Their Many Travels, Involving Meetings With Dignitaries Such As Roosevelt, Khrushchev, And Castro. We Listen In On The Couple's Conversations About Sartre's Nausea, Being And Nothingness, And Words, And Beauvoir's The Second Sex, The Mandarins, And Her Memoirs. And We Hear The Anguished Discussions That Led Sartre To Refuse The Nobel Prize.
