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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43717717852379,"sku":"9780701175085-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780701175085_a1b18445-ccd9-46ae-bbc2-bca98e0c61ad.jpg?v=1669282960","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780701175085-secondhand-tete-a-tete","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
