1991 Simone De Beauvoir Letters To Sartre Dustwrapper First English
Item History & Price
DESCRIPTIONDe Beauvoir published Sartre's letters in 1983 and when she was asked about her own letters to him, replied that they had been lost. After her death, her literary executor and adopted daughter Sylvie Le Bon de Beauvoir stumbled upon a parcel of faded letters, still in their envelopes addressed to "Monsieur Sartre."Completely uncensored, these letters are an inviting and revelatory window into the lives of the most important literary pairing of the twentieth-century.
