This is an intriguing and highly readable new book examining the
fascinating personal and intellectual relationship between
Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone
de Beauvoir were two of the most brilliant, influential, and
scandalous intellectuals of the 20th century. They are remembered
as much for the lives they led as for their influence on the way we
think. Their committed but notoriously open union created huge
controversy in their lifetime. And even before their deaths they
had become one of history's legendary couples, renowned for the
passion, daring, humour and intellectual intensity of their
relationship.This fascinating book presents a biography of Sartre
and de Beauvoir's relationship and offers some highly original
theories relating to the extent of de Beauvoir's contribution to
their shared ideas. Edward and Kate Fullbrook contend that it was
de Beauvoir's demand for sexual freedom that dictated the open
terms of their relationship and that it was in fact de Beauvoir who
was the more powerful thinker of the two. Through a thorough
examination of Sartre and de Beauvoir's major works, the authors
present a compelling story of their romantic and intellectual
relationships.
