Description

The definitive dual biography of one of the world’s most controversial couples. Passionate, free-thinking existentialist philosopher-writers Simone de Beauvoir & Jean-Paul Sartre are one of the world’s legendary couples. Their committed but notoriously open union generated no end of controversy in their day. Biographer Hazel Rowley offers the first dual portrait of these two colossal figures & their intense, often embattled relationships. Through original interviews & access to new primary sources, Rowley portrays Sartre & Beauvoir up close. She magnificently details the passion, daring, humor, & contradictions of a remarkably unorthodox relationship. “An engrossing narrative.” “One of the year’s best books.” Photos.
