Committed to the political causes of her time, intellectually brilliant and a pioneer in the struggle for women's rights and freedom, Simone de Beauvoir is one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century.

This wonderfully illustrated book traces Simone de Beauvoir's life from her five years to her encounter with Jean-Paul Sartre. He reveals his years of learning, his passion for letters and knowledge, his conflicts and searches, as well as his deep convictions, which will be reflected both in his personal life and in his writings.
