More about the book

In her most famous novel, Simone de Beauvoir does not flinch in her look at Parisian intellectual society at the end of the Second World War. Drawing on those who surrounded her -- Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Arthur Koestler -- and her passionate love affair with Nelson Algren, Beauvoir dissects the emotional and philosophical currents of her time. At once an engrossing drama and an intriguing political tale, <i>The Mandarins</i> is the emotional odyssey of a woman torn between her inner desire and her public life. <i>The Mandarins</i> won France's highest literary prize, the Prix Goncourt.
