Description and Table of Contents

Description

The loving friendship between Simone de Beauvior and Jean-Paul Sartre lasted for over half a century and ended with Sartre's death in 1980. "Adieux", Simone de Beauvior's final celebration of their life together, is a devastatingly frank account of the last years of Sartre's life and his death. It also consists of long conversations which they taped in 1974 at the onset of his increasing blindness, in which, under de Beauvior's gentle probing, Sartre expresses himself fully - on women and politics, his childhood, religion and food.
