Specifications
One of the most legendary couples on the planet, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, the fiery philosopher-writers, the unconventional existentialists, came together in a notorious liberated relationship that sparked endless debates. Hazel Rowley chronicles this relationship, presenting their unique moments and sketching their personalities with the help of interviews and other sources that come to light for the first time.
We are transported to the Parisian cafes and witness the meetings of Beauvoir, Sartre, and their circle. We learn about their stance against the wars in Algeria and Vietnam, as well as Beauvoir's stormy relationship with Nelson Algren. We follow them on their many journeys, their meetings with officials such as Roosevelt, Khrushchev, and Castro. We hear the painful discussions that led Sartre to refuse the Nobel Prize. But above all, we witness the passion, energy, courage, and humor of their unconventional relationship, the story they wanted to tell with their lives.
