A day-by-day account of the death of the author's mother.

Set in Paris on the eve of World War II, the novel draws upon Simone de Beauvoir's relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre, and the affair that almost destroyed it.

The second volume of Simone de Beauvoirs autobiography, starting at the age of 21.

First published in France in 1990, Simone de Beauvoir's correspondence aroused a storm of controversy and cast a dark light on what had long been considered an ideal relationship.

Un chef de la résistance pendant l'occupation allemande de la France réfléchit à sa relation avec une femme qu'il a envoyée en mission meurtrière.

Apart from considering the whole span of her life and work, the book is important in the way it draws on a number of press interviews and other direct statements rather than the literary work only.

This novel was never published in Simone de Beauvoir's lifetime. It tells the story of the real-life friendship that shaped one of the most important thinkers and feminists of the twentieth century.

Jean Blomart, a French resistance leader against the German forces of occupation, waits throughout an endless night for his wounded lover to die.
