Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition. Translated from the French by Lisa Nesselson. Black and white photographic illustrations. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Foxing to top edge and fore-edge of text-block not affecting inner pages. Spine tight. Pages clean. Gift inscription in silver and gold pen to front free endpaper. ***In a very good colour-illustrated dustwrapper that has not been price-clipped, showing original publisher's price of £15.00. No tears. Dustwrapper bright. 242 mm x 164 mm. 412 pages including source notes and index to rear. ***'For over fifty years Simone de Beauvoir dominated not only the French intelligentsia, but feminist thinking throughout the world. The paradox this presents in the context of her tireless devotion to Jean Paul Sartre is only one of many confronted here in her first full-scale biography. ***The range of de Beauvoir's work as a writer is enormous (from fiction such as The Mandarins, which won the Prix Goncourt in 1954) to the classic philosophical and political texts, Old Age and The Second Sex. Her work has been translated world-wide and the profundity, vehemence and intellectual grace of her writing established her as a giant of twentieth-century letters. ***Indeed Simone de Beauvoir conducted a long and mutually inspirational affair with the American writer and Nobel Prizewinner, Nelson Algren (in accordance with what she and Sartre described as 'contingent relationships). An unpublished correspondence of 1,682 letters between those two has been released to the authors of this book. They reveal as much about the day-to-day life of de Beauvoir and her friends - Camus, Picasso, Genet and Giacometti, as well as Sartre - as they do of a profoundly sensual relationship. Simone de Beauvoir entrusted this correspondence - steeped in the atmosphere of St Germain de Pres - to Claude Francis and Fernande Gontier, whom she had known for over ten years, and also revealed much to them that she omitted from her memoirs. The authors have also traced a miserable childhood and progression from confused bourgeois to radical giant.' (Quote from inside front and rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first UK edition in its original dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 6813

Hard Cover. Condition: USED_NEARFINE. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a small light mark to top edge) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xv + 412 Pages. 18 illustrations. Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir, called Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), dominated not only the French intelligentsia, but feminist thinking throughout the world for over fifty years. The paradox this presents in the context of her tireless devotion to Jean-Paul Sartre is only one of many confronted here in her first full-scale biography. The range of her work as a writer is enormous, but she may, however, be best known for her relaionship with Sartre. Despite the intensity of their shared passion - physical, political and intellectual - 'the beaver' and the great existentialist never committed themselves to marriage. She was with him when he died, but her importance to him was far more than that of a muse and a support. Indeed de Beauvoir conducted a long and mutually inspirational affair with the American writer and Nobel Prizewinner, Nelson Algren (in accordance with what Sartre descibed as 'contingent relationships). An unpublished correspondence of 1,682 letters betwee those two has been released to the authors of this book. They reveal as much about de Beauvoir and her friends - Camus, Picasso, Genet and Giacometti, as well as Sartre - as they do of a profoundly sensual relationship. **** NOT EX LIB **** **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.872 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** B2E Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
