They are one of the world s legendary couples. Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Startre those passionate, free-thinking Existentialist philosopher-writers had a committed but notoriously open union that generated no end of controversy. Through original interviews and access to new primary sources, Hazel Rowley portrays them up close- we witness Beauvoir and Sartre with their circle, holding court in Paris cafes. 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 hear the anguished discussions that would lead to Sartre s refusal of the Nobel Prize and listen in on the couple as they comment on each other s great works. The impact of their writings on modern thought can hardly be overestimated, but Beauvoir and Sartre are remembered just as much for the lives they led. Theirs is a great story and a great story is precisely what Beauvoir and Sartre most wanted their lives to be.
