"Tells the amazing story of those almost forgotten bands of Jews who wandered into China many centuries ago and with the passage of time blended physically and psychologically into the general population, although managing to remain until fairly recently a distinctly identifiable Jewish entity. Most particularly, [this book] deals with the last of the several Jewish colonies that once dotted the Chinese Empire, the community that was established in the Sung capital of Kaifeng, in Honan Province, between the tenth and twelfth centuries and that still owned a synagogue as late as the mid-1800s. This fascinating account of an exotic offshoot of Israel also relates how the Jews of Kaifeng, following their discovery in 1605 by a Jesuit priest, Father Matteo Ricci, entered into the European imagination of the time, stirring up a hornet's nest of curiosity and controversy among both Christians and Jews." - dust jacket. xviii, [2]-436 pp. Glossary, Selected Bibliography, Footnotes and Index.

Signed limited edition and first English edition of the novel for which de Beauvoir won the Prix Goncourt, awarded to the best and most imaginative prose work. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Simone de Beauvoir. Fine in a near fine dust original glassine jacket in the original slipcase. Translated from the French by Leonard M. Friedman. Rare in this condition. In her most famous novel, The Mandarins, Simone de Beauvoir takes an unflinching look at Parisian intellectual society at the end of World War II. Hailed by Iris Murdoch as "a remarkable book, a novel on the grand scale, courageous in its exactitude and endearing because of its persistent seriousness." In fictionally relating the stories of those around her â Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Arthur Koestler, Nelson Algren â de Beauvoir dissects the emotional and philosophical currents of her time. At once an engrossing drama and an intriguing political tale, The Mandarins is the emotional odyssey of a woman torn between her inner desires and her public life. "Much more than a roman a clef . . . a moving and engrossing novel" (New York Times). It was the recipient of the Prix Goncourt Award.
