Letters to Sartre

Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre formed one of the most famous literary couples of the 20th century. When these private and revealing letters were published in France in 1990, they caused a storm of controversy.
Here de Beauvoir tells Sartre everything, tracing the extraordinary complications of their triangular love life.
These letters reveal de Beauvoir not only as manipulative and dependent, but also as vulnerable, passionate, jealous and committed.
