Adieux: A Farewell to Sartre

Paperback

Price: $23.00

Overview

Simone de Beauvoir’s account of the last ten years of Jean-Paul Sartre’s life provides a focus for understanding one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. But the book, consisting of both a year-by-year account of Sartre’s last decade and a conversation between him and de Beauvoir about his life and work, is more than just a philosophical examination. It is also a personal dialogue of astonishing frankness that illuminates one of the most famous and complex relationships of the twentieth century.

Translated by Patrick O’Brian

Reviews

"An intimate, personal, and honest portrait of a relationship unlike any other in literary history."
–Deirdre Bair, The Philadelphia Inquirer

"[A] portrait of a deep love between two people who lead separate lives. Of all the many interviews Sartre gave in his life, this is perhaps the clearest."
–Richard Sennett

"An expression of [de Beauvoir's] unquenchable loyalty and devotion, her sense of the sheer importance of the man, Sartre, le maître."
–Elizabeth Hardwick
